Title: This model works if you goose it right.
Product review: I've had the HoMedics noise machine for several years, and after reading all these other reviews, I'd mention that although my model also "shorted out" - sound would disappear - I fixed it by jamming bits of toothpick into the dial. Try it. Right now I have 4 strategically placed toothpick stubs and it stays on 'ocean sounds' all night (I have it plugged in).I bought a ConAir sound machine and just don't like it. The sounds are harsh and in particular the 'ocean sound' seems to have just one wave sound and doesn't have sea gulls squawking, which I really miss. Also, the directions tell me I cannot tuck it under my pillow, as I do with the HoMedics. I'm going to keep on jamming toothpicks in HoMedics machine.
