LectroFan EVO

Button layout makes it very easy to use, even in a fully dark bedroom. Unit is not lit up, which is exactly what I wanted. Great sound quality, and good choice of different white noises or fan sounds. Good volume range too.has really helped my sleeping. I'm very sensitive to background noises, helps drown them out so they don't wake me up.

This machine is a life saver. Living on the high street, my sleep was constantly disrupted by traffic noise 24/7. I had tried countless solutions, earplugs, noise-cancelling earphones, and more, but nothing worked. That all changed when I started using this machine. Since then, I haven't been disturbed by traffic noise once. It took me a few nights to experiment with the different sounds and volume levels. This machine has10 different colour noises,10 (or 13?) fan sounds, and a few ocean noises. Surprisingly, quite funny, the best option for me turned out to be classic white noise. Even more interestingly, I found that I didn’t need to play it too loud. Just a gentle humming background noise was enough to mask the traffic during sleep. If you're struggling with noise disturbances at night, I can't recommend this enough!

The EVO is a small matte plastic box, the same shape as a 50p coin but about four inches on a side and sloping to the front, with a number of buttons on the top surrounded by a metal speaker grille. Its only other features are a 3.5mm headphone socket and a thin built-in cable, about four feet long, which leads to a USB-A female connector. A wall plug is provided but I can plug it into a USB-A port on my desktop PC and it is powered. There is no battery, no display, no LED, no Bluetooth and no smartphone support. The noise can be anything from barely audible to astonishingly loud, controlled by a pair of buttons. Another pair of buttons cycle between 10 whitish noises (brown through pink to white), 10 fan noises (anything from "industrial fan" through "exhaust fan" to "oscillating fan") and also ocean and surf effects. The quality of the noises/effects is excellent - there is no indication whatsoever of repetition or looping. Another button allows a timer to be set (one to eight hours); otherwise, the EVO runs continuously. The only other substantial options are a switch between continuous and oscillating noise level and a factory reset - both are done through combinations of buttons. Power consumption is tiny - according to my smart plug, 1 watt. The EVO concentrates on generating and playing noise and has no frills. In my situation it is stunningly effective - noisy upstairs neighbours are completely blocked out, far short of the highest volume setting. It can even fully block the noise of a big Coway air purifier running at its highest setting a few feet from me, which is astonishing. It is far superior to the smartphone/white noise app/Bluetooth speaker combination suggested by various sources, not least because it is zero maintenance. Four stars because £80 is expensive no matter the quality (I got my EVO for a discount, £65). However, it is a great example of a device that performs a well-defined task without fuss but has excellent design and hides a lot of sophistication behind a few buttons.

- Last few years have been using a Muzo fan to try to mask various sounds that permeate my flat. - It, too some extent worked, though the volume was hard to get just right with its dial, which light up my bedroom with the most incredibly bright LED, which was a bit poor IMHO. - So I took the ‘plunge’ and bought the ‘lectrofan, though quite expensive it already has helped me through a period of the noisy Friday afternoon. - It was so easy to set the sound and volume, much better than the Muzo, plus no ultra bright LED. - I tested its loudness vs a Bluetooth speaker I use for music, an Anker (the small one). - The Anker can produce white house when it’s in radio mode and not able to tune in. - The ‘lectrofan was about the same output, really quite loud! - Which when you need it, it has that ability. - Getting used to the buttons to control its output was super easy as was figuring a sound for it to emit. - Very happy with it, would recommend if like me your neighbour is loud, the outside environment has a tendency to be loud, and on a Friday a loud pump goes off for an hour to sort our building’s fire extinguisher.

I have three of these, and will be getting another when funds allow. They have genuinely helped me deal with the most awful upstairs neighbours. (This is why I have three; when I had one, I was carrying it round with me! Now I have them dotted around strategically.) I am hearing impaired but can hear low frequencies - like the bass and thumping from upstairs. Drowning out bass is difficult, but there are a variety of sounds at different frequencies in this machine and the trick is to find one that matches the frequency you are trying to disguise. If, for example, you have someone living above you that plays music with amplified bass, and they also shriek, you may find two machines useful (one to match the bass, one to match the shrieking). I find the continuing hum of the machines very quickly settles into the background and is far easier to ignore than noise from upstairs. These machines are tiny (10cm, see picture) and they need to be plugged in. The cord on the white machine is white, with a USB at the end, but the supplied USB plugs in all of mine have been black. This is annoying at this price point, but the overall quality of the machine more than makes up for it.

I used a cheaper noise machine for about a year, and while initially it was fine I eventually noticed the point where the sound looped. It was subtle and fairly well masked, but at 2AM with nothing else to focus on that sort of thing becomes jarring. The Lectrofan Evo doesn't have that problem as the noise is generated not replayed, and the sound quality is significantly higher. The ocean preset (that actually sounds more like rising and falling winds) in particular is wonderfully sleep inducing. This is a more expensive option than most on the market, but I'm happy with the results.

Saved me from noisy neighbours! My neighbours seem to like firing up between 10pm-1am and was ruining my sleep and having a knock on effect to the rest of my life. I use the Brown noise setting and it has absolutely changed my life, I’ve started to look forward to going to bed again and sleeping through the night. If you are having similar issues I would not hesitate to get one. It may take a little getting used to at the start but doesn’t take long for it to feel normal. Would recommend.

I live in a flat which is surrounded by external traffic/people noise. I tried to convince my landlord to install 'secondary glazing' (an extra layer of glass over the double glazing) but to no avail (of course they weren't going to invest!). So, luckily I discovered these white noise machines and I can honestly say the 'LectroFanEVO has made a great difference - it has pretty much buffered out the standard noise as best as it can (will always hear loud sirens, fireworks etc). I have it plugged into my computer when I'm working at my desk, and plugged into the wall next to my bed when I sleep. No way can I NOT have this little machine running now in the flat! However - for me it wasn't entirely perfect (though almost). You have two different sound options; 'wave' effect, and 'fan' effect. Each mode has different a different tone/pitch. I realise the 'wave' sound(s) aren't any good for me as I need a constant sound. This isn't an issue, as I just use the 'fan' option instead. Again for me, there is literally just the one 'fan' sound I can use (out of how ever many is programmed into it). I tested them all but the only sound I could agree with is the lowest, bass sound. I kinda find the others too distracting for being in the background. The result is that I purchased this white noise machine for just one of the sounds, though that sound is really all I need... until I may get 'sick' of it (I really hope not). Lastly, I think a level indicator for the volume would have been handy if they could have incorporated it somewhere. Overall, this is a lifesaver for me and I'm glad I did a bit of research into these machines before buying!

الصوت خفيف مو مثل اللي قبل

If you're living in the Netherlands, this is a lifesaver! I wish I would have known how good this is before, it'd have saved me from years of misery. It drowns the noise of screaming children outside in the daytime, so you can focus working and shouting drunkards in the night, so you can sleep. I do need to put the volume quite high to drown the noise of the children as they're VERY loud, but then the sounds are almost completely muted. I like the compact size and white color too. Maybe would be nice to have more nature sounds. Though the basic fan sounds seem to work the best for canceling out noises. Such great machine, might get a second one at some point.
