Basic, simple, sleep. Its the same diameter as a 2 liter bottle. Has an adapter that plugs in any standard wall type outlet. The adapter then provides the USB port for the LectroFan's USB cord. Or plug it into any other USB outlet. The cord is about 5 feet long, plenty for most situations.
I found the 7 sided geometric design has an advantage many other sound therapy machines don't, you can set it on its side! The advantage then is you can POINT THE SOUND in the direction that best suits you! I found that pointing it away from me makes it a little softer (less harsh) of a sound, almost like fine tuning the volume between the 10 settings. It also allowed me to create a more effective barrier between myself and any other sounds. Yes, it could be knocked over from being on its side, but it would take more than just a bump to do it. The sides are flat and about 2 inches square. To me its stable enough that I'm comfortable reaching for it in the dark to adjust where its pointing and/or using all of the buttons to change sounds, volume, etc.
As for the buttons and features, no frills is definitely the way to go for me. Other manufacturers do a wonderful job of marketing and romancing people with rain, waterfalls, meadows, ocean waves and more. However many of these things can actually be more of a distraction versus the steady unbroken sounds of a fan or white noise. In fact the consistent, unbroken sound seems to be another coveted feature of this machine. I have not heard anything other than the sound I set it for, continuously until I shut it off.
The top half of the left button turns the machine on & off. It will play continuously unless you press the bottom half of the left button, which sets a timer (60 minutes stackable per press). The right side button is for volume, up & down. The left half of the bottom button plays the fan sounds, the right half the white noise sounds. Each time you press the same side/half of the bottom button (FAN / WHITE NOISE), it will change how that feature sounds.
The WHITE NOISE sounds like someone telling you to "shhh", be quiet. It starts low, sounding similar to a slow "shhh" sound. Each press produces a higher pitched "shhh" sounding more and more as it does when you force air quickly from your lungs while making the "shhh" sound. The significant point to make here is that unlike when you say "shhh" with a fast exhale, the LectroFan doesn't get louder (unless you turn up the volume).
The FAN sounds are not just changing pitch, but actually sound like different types of fans. This can be a huge advantage over other machines! So if you grew up with a certain type of fan, or lived somewhere with a certain type of fan, there's a very good chance you'll find one of the ten fan sounds will be the same or very similar. I was quite surprised as to just how different and also how accurate LectroFan reproduces the sound of different fans. Plus, for me at least, when I put it on its side I could make the reproduced fan sound even more accurate when near a wall or large object. The sound then reflects off the wall adding a reverb or echoing effect.
A final note is just to again stress that the number of features and romantic sounds produced by other sound therapy machines may be more clever marketing gimmicks rather than being truly useful. I think for most (not all) people fan noise and white noise are both neutral and less distracting. I feel the fan sounds are very accurate, and having 10 settings for both fan and white noise allows the user to fine tune the sound for a more personal sleep experience. The unit is small, well built, and simple to set up and use. I highly recommend this item and can truthfully say its money WELL spent!
P.S. Mine came in a small cardboard box with a hinge to open on one side. There are form fitting cutouts that hold the machine and adapter inside. To me its perfect for travel and better than the soft travel case you can buy for it, since the box protects it too. Its not much bigger than the unit itself either. Just thought I'd mention it in case you want to save a few bucks.

One sound machine, so many uses.

For Sleep, Rest, and RelaxationThe steady relaxing sound of a fan or white, pink or brown noise can help you get to sleep more quickly, and stay asleep longer by helping you tune out the environmental noises that might otherwise wake you at night. |
For Work, Study, and PrivacyUsing LectroFan in your office or study area can help you focus, so you can get to work and get things done. It's also a simple solution for improving privacy and helping make sure that your conversations don't distract others. |
For Your Family and for YouLots of our customers report that they use LectroFan in their baby or toddler's room to block distracting noises and create a peaceful environment. Better sleep for your little ones can mean better sleep for you, and a happier family. |
Better Than a 'Fan in a Box'
Sleep technology has advanced beyond the outdated approach of using a mechanical fan with just a few speeds for audio variety. LectroFan is the better solution. It's entirely electronic, with no motor or other internal moving parts. You get a much better variety of sounds with adjustable volume, reproduced digitally via a large, high fidelity speaker.
From The Sleep Experts

City life in an apartment and sleeping like a baby
I live in the city and it has a lot of noise from cars driving by, cars idling showing off their cheap stereo system, helicopters, and even neighbors with their TV volume up so loud I'm basically watching the show with them. A bunch of careless and inconsiderate people but thats the city, right?I have been having a hard time sleeping due to these incidences and would usually resort to turning on a fan at high speed to drown out the sound. Not only does this make the room colder but also drains a lot of electricity. I knew I needed an alternative and remembered seeing a white noise device at a hotel I stayed at last year.I turned to Amazon and saw that this product had stellar reviews. They were legit. A USB powered white noise machine that is efficient at power consumption. It can be plugged in with the included power brick or to any USB power supplied connection. Very travel friendly.The first night I turned this on I slept immediately. It drowned out all the peripheral sounds and I didn't notice them at all.I have had the product for some time and but only use the default white noise. It is sufficient for me. But there are many different sounds to choose from. There are 10 unique fan sounds. The white noise however all sound the same but at different pitches. While going through the different sounds there will be a distinct sound to notify you that you are looping back to the first sound again. The volume can also be adjusted very loud if you need to.What I did notice however is that it will power on whenever power is initially supplied to it. I noticed this when I went on a two week trip. I was notified by the power company that there was a power outage while I was away from home. When I came home two weeks later it was running. This means that once power was restored, it turned on. Not a big deal but just be mindful to unplug it when not in use or if going on an extended trip.Pros:Case feels solid10 fan and 10 white noise soundsVolume has a wide range60 minute timerDistinct sound when loopingPowered by USBCons:Powers on automaticallyWhite noise sounds are all similar, just at higher pitches
