Baby ShusherBaby Shusher Portable Sound Machine - White Noise Sound Machine, Baby Soother for Sleeping, Newborn Essentials for Crib, Battery Operated Hush, Travel Friendly - 1 Count

The media could not be loaded. I like the fact that you can adjust time- 15 minutes or 30 minutes. It would be nice if you could leave to play continuously. It is easy to clean. I thought the price was reasonable. Shipping was very quick. I bought for my daughter to use on her new baby. Her baby was brand new and cried a lot. I didn’t know how well the Shusher would work but figured it was worth a try. It worked really well! It helped a lot with the fussiness- soothing baby! It’s nice that it’s a small size and very portable. My daughter’s one year old did throw it at one point and it did hiccup - making a different sound but did go back to working normally.

Don’t have kids but bought this for a friend as a baby shower present because I thought it seemed useful if it worked and funny. My friend said it was the best gift they received because it was so useful and works great and called it a ‘life saver’. Bought for another friend expecting later and received the same feedback. Very happy with the purchase and will definitely buy again as my go to gift for baby showers.

Showed its value the very first day I received it and used it straight out of the package. It definitely helps with my newborn and his night feedings. I can just put it beside his bassinet after I’ve burped him and it does the work of getting him back to sleep, quickly too!

*edit* my sis said she used this for about a month and it just stopped working. She replaced the batteries and still nothing. Hoping we can get a replacement one. It worked GREAT up until it crapping out though. I still think it's a great buy, just stinks that it doesn't work anymore.I bought this for my sis, who just had her first baby last week. I bought it solely based on a blogger that I follow who said and I quote "we don't go anywhere without it"...that's all I needed to hear to buy it. They've had it for 4 days and it's always wherever the baby is. They said it calms my nephew down when they change his diaper (pre-Shusher he would get fussy). It helps him sleep and just provides great white noise. It's ridiculously easy to use. Three notches are for 30 min, 15 min and off, it's basically goof-proof. The price seemed a little high for it just shooshing but I babysit and shooshing with your own mouth gets tiring after 10 or 15+ min and my mouth starts to go numb, plus you can't talk, so this is definitely gets an A+ just for that alone. They haven't had it long enough to give feedback on the battery life, but I think it takes batteries, and you can get them at the dollar store, so I don't foresee that being an issue. I'm honestly debating getting one for myself, to take with me when I babysit, for my box of tricks. I also love this because it's portable, the other huge plus, most kids I sit for have sound machines, which are great, but they stay plugged into the wall and don't get moved around, this is light and easy to toss in a bag or place next to the car seat on a car ride.

The media could not be loaded. This product is good. Helps my baby sleep or when she is fussy. The sound can be adjusted so it will give you a loud or low “shush”. Great for traveling as it is small enough to carry anywhere. There aren’t any buttons but you do have to twist it to turn it on. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t give you a timing option for how long you want it to stay on. It will die on you.

This calms my baby so much, it’s amazing! Sound quality is good, battery life is great. It’s portable so you can bring it on vacation or in the car. Every parent needs this! Easy twist for volume and timer comes with tether to attach it.

This thing was SUCH a disappointment. They took a great idea and just made a completely terrible product. For $10 I'd be fine with this, but for $35, it's going back.The pros:I does make a "shhhhhh" sound, which is great.And now the cons (you might want to freshen your quarantine cocktail):- It makes a shushing sound, but it will only do it for 15 or 30 minutes. If you want to shush longer, like all night for instance, you will have to keep getting up to cycle the power. Maybe they knew a constant-on would burn through batteries too fast (more on that in a min). The fact that you can't just set it to ON and leave it running is the primary reason I have decided this device is useless to me and needs to go back.- It is a highly directional speaker, meaning you can hear it pretty well if it's facing right at you, but it sounds very quiet if it's pointed away from you. But they designed it like a torpedo, so you can't stand it up with the speaker pointing at the baby's head. The speaker faces down if you stand it upright. The only flat surface is the one the speaker points at, so if you lay it on something next to the baby like a night stand, it might very well roll away. It will stay put just fine if you put it on a soft surface, like next to the baby's head in a crib, but that violates Safe Sleep protocol. A product design that incentivizes people to break Safe Sleep rules sounds like terrible design to me.- It's not super loud, so it has to be pretty close to the baby's head, depending on how loud you need the shushing. I bought this thing for the times when my baby is really pissed and I need pretty aggressive shushing, and it just doesn't cut it. The volume is fine for if baby is already calm and sleeping, but does nothing to soothe a baby that's already crying because it's not loud enough for him to hear over the noise he's already making.- Battery life. As others have said, buy lots of batteries. Why they didn't make this thing USB rechargeable like everything else is beyond me. At $35, it needs to have a rechargeable internal battery, like the $12 white noise machine we have.- Battery access: when the batteries die, first you'll think "didn't I just replace these?". Then you'll say "crap, it's 4AM, I have a screaming infant, and I have to go find some batteries AND a screwdriver". What fun! Some may say this is a safety consideration, but I challenge you to find an infant that needs a shusher that could possibly summon up the dexterity to get batteries out of a standard snap-on battery cover. My toddler could do it, but toddlers don't need this thing. When you put it back on, the battery cover lid is also the power switch, so don't screw it on too tight or you won't be able to turn it on.- Dead on arrival: this is a product that's designed to soothe unhappy babies. That means when a parent gets this, they're probably a little exhausted and frustrated. This is exactly the kind of product that needs to work when it arrives. I found a bunch of heavy grease (inexplicably inside of the battery compartment) covering the electrical contacts on the screw on cap, preventing it from turning on.I really, really wanted to like this thing. I was so excited to get it, and then so disappointed at how poorly this great idea was executed. What's worse, they basically have the market cornered - in a greenfield market, they could have made slight changes and actually had an excellent product. For $35, that's what they needed to do.But I cannot bring myself to spend that much money on a product that is so incredibly poorly and cheaply designed.
