00:00.000 --> 00:04.000
Can this device help you get to
sleep faster and sleep better

00:04.000 --> 00:17.360
Yeah, it probably can. Let's check it out. Dave Taylor
here, and I have another iHome device to check out

00:17.360 --> 00:23.479
This is part of the iHome Xenergy line. They have
this whole sort of zen energy thing going on

00:23.479 --> 00:28.200
They've been doing this for years. They're
really cool. They have lights. They have sounds

00:28.200 --> 00:36.479
This one offers aromatherapy. So let's disassemble
this. This is the iHome Xenergy Aroma Dream

00:36.479 --> 00:42.360
First off, you'll notice that I actually pulled the
controls off the top, because it's a remote control

00:42.360 --> 00:47.680
But much more fun is that the top comes
off, and there's a water reservoir

00:47.680 --> 00:53.080
So we're going to go ahead and put some water in
here. This has a reservoir of 250 milliliters

00:53.080 --> 00:58.840
which is about a cup. That's what I just
put in. And now there's a fill line

00:58.840 --> 01:04.000
Looks like I exactly got it to the fill line.
And then it comes with some aromatherapy

01:04.000 --> 01:11.919
These are lavender. And even if you don't do anything
else with it, just open it up and just smell

01:11.919 --> 01:18.720
So nice. But then you put in a couple of drops.
We'll just put in a couple of drops here

01:18.720 --> 01:22.559
And that's all you got to do. So this
little tiny bottle, you're thinking

01:22.559 --> 01:27.800
that's not very much. This is going to last
you a good long while. So put the lid back on

01:27.800 --> 01:34.239
You put the unit lid back on. And then I can
actually turn on, from the remote control

01:34.239 --> 01:41.760
I can turn on the aromatherapy.
And you can see, hopefully, there's

01:41.760 --> 01:50.839
a little mist line coming out. Now, very
nice. Even if you don't put any aroma in it

01:50.839 --> 01:55.199
it actually then becomes a simple little
humidifier you can have right by your bed

01:55.199 --> 01:59.639
And that's really nice. Especially here
in Colorado, we get pretty low humidity

01:59.639 --> 02:06.199
in the winter. So it also includes
sound therapy. So let's try that

02:06.199 --> 02:11.559
So it comes with 12 different sounds and white
noise. Let's try a couple of different sounds

02:11.559 --> 02:16.559
A lot of them sound white noise-ish. So this also
could be something you could have if you are

02:16.559 --> 02:20.559
at the therapy office or if you have
confidential conversations with people

02:20.559 --> 02:27.559
Something like this you could put by your door. And then
that helps not have your conversations be overheard

02:27.559 --> 02:33.559
And there's off. And then there's on.
And then there's off. And then there's on

02:33.559 --> 02:37.559
And then there's off. And then there's on.
And then there's on. And then there's off

02:37.559 --> 02:44.559
And then there's on. And then there's on. And then there's
off. And then some of these are more meditative music

02:44.559 --> 02:48.559
Unfortunately, they don't include a list of
all the different sounds. But there you go

02:48.559 --> 02:58.559
So it's 12 different sounds plus white noise.
And I'll go ahead and turn that off, maybe

02:58.559 --> 03:08.559
But we'll keep the aromatherapy going because it's really nice,
actually. So let me give you a close-up on the remote control itself

03:08.559 --> 03:13.559
You can see lots of functions. It comes
with a battery, so it's all ready to go

03:13.559 --> 03:19.559
And it obviously fits very neatly right on the
top. Even when you're using it with aromatherapy

03:19.559 --> 03:23.559
or with just having the humidity, it
still works fine. There's no overlap

03:23.559 --> 03:30.559
You're not covering up any holes or anything. So that's
nice. The aromatherapy can run for 18 hours on low

03:30.559 --> 03:34.559
Or they have interval modes. If
you put it on the slowest interval

03:35.559 --> 03:39.559
it can run for up to 54 hours on
that very small amount of water

03:39.559 --> 03:47.559
That's pretty impressive. 18 hours is already pretty impressive.
So this could be, ostensibly, it could be something perfect

03:47.559 --> 03:52.559
for the baby's room, right? You've got the sound.
You can do aromatherapy to help them be calm

03:52.559 --> 03:56.559
You can have the humidity that helps
them be a little more healthy. All a win

03:56.559 --> 04:05.559
And it's very small. You could also have it auto-deactivates.
Auto-deactivates. Actually, let me just start that sentence over

04:05.559 --> 04:10.559
If it runs out of water, it just turns off
that humidity feature. So that's really nice

04:10.559 --> 04:15.559
You don't have to worry about, oh my gosh, is it just
about out? In which case, I need to deal with it

04:15.559 --> 04:21.559
Very handy. Now, you'll notice it also has a clock on
the front and a kind of a retro clock setting feature

04:21.559 --> 04:25.559
Because you go on the back and you
push Set and then Plus and Minus

04:25.559 --> 04:33.559
This is like the 1970s. It's easy enough to do. But I really
wanted to plug in my phone and boom, have it all work, right

04:33.559 --> 04:39.559
And you can plug in your phone. In fact, let me give
you a quick close-up of all the features on the back

04:39.559 --> 04:43.559
If you lose the remote, you do have
some level of control over the device

04:43.559 --> 04:48.559
which is nice. And you have that USB
plug so you can charge your phone

04:48.559 --> 04:53.559
Really handy. The phone doesn't really do
much in terms of controlling the device

04:53.559 --> 04:57.559
That's just how it's designed. It's
also how they kept the price really low

04:57.559 --> 05:02.559
So, the dual alarm system. And you
can wake up to whatever sound you want

05:02.559 --> 05:09.559
You can also wake up to aroma, which is kind of fun. So, you can
actually have this aromatherapy thing trigger as your alarm goes

05:09.559 --> 05:18.559
And then maybe you have something like a peppermint oil or something in there that
sort of wakes your brain up and helps you get out of bed and drag yourself out. Right

05:18.559 --> 05:26.559
So, really pretty cool. It has the high-contrast display.
And you can actually use a dimmer, which is super important

05:26.559 --> 05:31.559
And let's see. Not much else to
tell you about. I really like it

05:31.559 --> 05:35.559
I really like the remote control, though
I find the remotes a little finicky

05:35.559 --> 05:40.559
I don't know if you could tell, but I was pushing
buttons multiple times trying to get things to work

05:40.559 --> 05:46.559
That might be something that comes with
experience, probably. But overall, it's small

05:46.559 --> 05:53.559
It's simple. It does a great job. The only other comment
I would make is I wish this was more travel-friendly

05:53.559 --> 06:02.559
but you can see that power transformer device is pretty big. This
is not something that's so easily slipped into your suitcase

06:02.559 --> 06:07.559
And it doesn't run just on batteries. So, if you
wanted to have this in a hotel room or something

06:07.559 --> 06:12.559
you'd have to bring the whole thing and obviously
drain it really well before you put it in your suitcase

06:12.559 --> 06:22.559
Please. It would be a disaster otherwise. So, that's it. Really nice,
simple, elegant solution to the problem of trying to get to sleep better

06:22.559 --> 06:27.559
and trying to stay asleep better. And I
got to say, I love all these sound machines

06:27.559 --> 06:31.559
I've reviewed a lot of them and we use
them. All my kids have them in their rooms

06:31.559 --> 06:37.559
There's just something about having a
repetitive, calm silence or calm sound

06:37.559 --> 06:41.559
that helps you just sort of tune out
the rest of the world and get to sleep

06:41.559 --> 06:45.559
Really, really good stuff. So, only
thing left to talk about is the price

06:45.559 --> 06:50.559
But, before we get to the price, I'm going
to ask if you can subscribe to my channel

06:50.559 --> 06:55.559
Really appreciate when you do that. And it's
seriously just one click away. Just do it. Thank you

06:55.559 --> 07:03.559
Now, this is the iHome Zenergy Aroma
Dream and it's $79.99 at Amazon.com

07:03.559 --> 07:08.559
And if you have any issues sleeping or being
interrupted in your sleep by the noise around you

07:08.559 --> 07:13.559
or you just want to establish a calmer
environment for yourself, even at work

07:13.559 --> 07:17.559
you could have this on your desk at work
and everyone else around you is stressed

07:17.559 --> 07:25.559
and you are enjoying the lavender oil
and saying, I'm good. Everything's fine

07:25.559 --> 07:32.559
That is a really nice feature. So, with that, I'm going to
get back to breathing this in and we'll get some sound here

07:32.559 --> 07:43.559
And, come on. That means that I will
catch you in my next video. Namaste

07:47.559 --> 07:51.559
This is a test. This is a test.
