LectroFan Jr. White Noise Machine Review
If you are particular about the looping sound that white noise machines are notorious for, then you might have been annoyed by it once or twice. The constant cuts in the loops can be quite disturbing for some people, which is why this particular product has been built with a special algorithm that allows it to play one constant process of sound all throughout your sleep.
Features
- Unique, Continuous, Non-looping Sound
The LectroFan White Noise Machine is not the everyday, average white noise maker that you can find in just about any gadget store nowadays. It is uniquely engineered with a proprietary algorithm that allows the machine to generate sounds that are unique and non-repeating. This means that you will not encounter any loops or breaks, and you can be assured of a restful night’s sleep without any interruptions.
The looping can be somewhat noticeable for some people and thus may become an imminent distraction, which is why some machines fail at giving the expected results from a sleeping aid. This non-recorded steady, continuous, and consistent sound is what sets this device apart from other similar devices.
- Safe Enough for Babies
The device is so safe and natural that it can be used to help babies fall asleep. Babies are notorious for their erratic sleeping cycles, particularly during their earliest months of life. This is when white noise devices such as this one come in very handy, especially for sleep-deprived new parents.
The sounds produced by the device are actually better than your average lullaby since it is more steady and more consistent. As a result, it easily masks other environmental distractions such as passing vehicles, animals, or other household sounds that may otherwise startle your baby into awakening.
You can use this for your baby during their nap or at night for deeper, better sleep. If you are traveling with your baby, it might be a good idea to bring this device along with you so that you can be assured that your child will sleep easily, no matter how new the environment is to them. The added comfort of the white noise may even become a habitual and comforting part of their nightly routine.
- Nursery Rhymes
With this machine, you can adjust the settings according to what is needed, and there are many settings to choose from so you can be assured that you will get your money’s. To add to the 12 sound options, the LectroFan Jr. also comes with 18 classic nursery songs, which can be great to play for a fun and soothing play time with your baby.
You can play it in the nursery during your baby’s active play time, and you can also play it if you are simply spending some one-on-one time with your baby. You can sing along with the tunes while your baby listens and absorbs the auditory stimulation.
- Simple yet Safe and Functional Design
Despite the name, the LectroFan Jr. does not have actual moving parts such as those in an actual fan. Hence, even if your baby makes a grab for it, you can be assured that they will be completely safe.
- Other Premium Features
Another edge that this machine over similar products is that it comes with a dozen sound options compared to the usual five or six. This gives you more options to choose from and more choices for each environment, each situation, and each person you are using it for.
In addition, this machine is also equipped with an automatic shut-off feature, which adds to its convenience. You can simply set the timer before going to sleep, and you’re good to go! This feature also makes it energy-efficient.

Final Thoughts
Although this version of the device may not promise you top-of-the-line quality when it comes to sound and materials, it still makes up for it in terms of its features and benefits. The constant, non-looping sound is indeed a great takeaway since you will not have to worry about pauses and breaks that may disrupt your precious sleep in the middle of the night.
Also, the fact that it plays nursery rhymes makes it a dual-purpose product that not only helps your child fall asleep but also makes playtime a lot more fun and enriching.
