00:06.200 --> 00:08.120
hi Dave Taylor here again and this time

00:08.120 --> 00:10.840
let's talk about sleep so what I'm

00:10.840 --> 00:12.880
looking at here is I'm looking at the

00:12.880 --> 00:15.759
electro fan and honestly it just sounds

00:15.759 --> 00:17.640
like a superhero name so I liked it

00:17.640 --> 00:19.760
before I even got the product but this

00:19.760 --> 00:22.199
is from a company called sound of sleep

00:22.199 --> 00:24.400
and we already Ed their sound machines

00:24.400 --> 00:26.240
and they're really really good so when

00:26.240 --> 00:28.320
they came out with a new one that was

00:28.320 --> 00:30.080
specifically just a white noise

00:30.080 --> 00:32.520
generator I was kind of intrigued now

00:32.520 --> 00:34.120
there are a lot of situations where

00:34.120 --> 00:36.280
White Noise can be beneficial one of

00:36.280 --> 00:37.960
which is in a really dense office

00:37.960 --> 00:39.719
environment cuz it just gives you some

00:39.719 --> 00:42.559
privacy the vast majority of therapists

00:42.559 --> 00:44.360
for example have one of these outside

00:44.360 --> 00:45.840
their door so if you're sitting in the

00:45.840 --> 00:48.160
waiting room you're not saying hm what

00:48.160 --> 00:50.120
are they talking about but more

00:50.120 --> 00:52.960
importantly it's great for sleep and for

00:52.960 --> 00:55.520
me and for my family that was really why

00:55.520 --> 00:57.960
we got it so I actually tried it on the

00:57.960 --> 00:59.719
road here's a picture of it in a hotel

00:59.719 --> 01:02.640
room and we actually just drove up to

01:02.640 --> 01:05.640
Montana from Denver so it was like a TW

01:05.640 --> 01:08.640
2,200 M roundtrip stayed in a lot of

01:08.640 --> 01:11.600
hotel rooms it was a great trip and

01:11.600 --> 01:13.520
there were some hotel rooms where it was

01:13.520 --> 01:17.520
really really quiet and so having this

01:17.520 --> 01:19.799
little guy was great and actually it's

01:19.799 --> 01:22.159
on this whole time

01:22.159 --> 01:25.320
listen now suddenly all that background

01:25.320 --> 01:27.520
noise has gone away and here's the thing

01:27.520 --> 01:30.240
that we found is when we turn it on it

01:30.240 --> 01:32.079
would almost immediately just go into

01:32.079 --> 01:34.079
the background and it would just be the

01:34.079 --> 01:35.640
background level of noise and we

01:35.640 --> 01:37.560
wouldn't really be thinking about it but

01:37.560 --> 01:39.560
when it came time to go to sleep instead

01:39.560 --> 01:41.600
of being in those quiet rooms where

01:41.600 --> 01:44.479
you're listening for that faint little

01:44.479 --> 01:47.479
sound you just had this background noise

01:47.479 --> 01:49.200
now this is particularly interesting cuz

01:49.200 --> 01:52.399
the electro fan this is the big one um

01:52.399 --> 01:54.240
it's not very big but it's the larger of

01:54.240 --> 01:56.640
the two units they have it has 10 White

01:56.640 --> 02:00.439
Noise sounds and 10 fan sounds hence the

02:00.439 --> 02:04.640
name elran so let's switch

02:04.640 --> 02:08.599
so that's a fan sound now to be fair

02:08.599 --> 02:10.679
some of these I listen to and I'm like

02:10.679 --> 02:12.120
uh I don't really want to like be

02:12.120 --> 02:13.360
sleeping in the middle of some

02:13.360 --> 02:15.920
industrial environment but you can

02:15.920 --> 02:19.440
actually switch

02:22.720 --> 02:26.400
sounds so there's lots of variations and

02:26.400 --> 02:28.120
they're nonrepeating

02:28.120 --> 02:31.760
cyclic sort of sound systems so you can

02:31.760 --> 02:33.239
leave it on and you're not going to hear

02:33.239 --> 02:35.360
like a 30 second tape and then it stops

02:35.360 --> 02:37.519
and goes back in 30 seconds it's

02:37.519 --> 02:39.319
actually I think there's just some

02:39.319 --> 02:40.920
software in there generating all the

02:40.920 --> 02:44.519
waveforms so it's just a nice even sound

02:44.519 --> 02:46.120
and this is the fan sounds let's just go

02:46.120 --> 02:47.480
over to White

02:47.480 --> 02:49.760
Noise and you can see here in the front

02:49.760 --> 02:51.959
here's a closeup the controls are super

02:51.959 --> 02:53.440
easy to work with I mean it really

02:53.440 --> 02:55.680
couldn't be any easier and so this is

02:55.680 --> 02:58.319
different white noise

02:58.319 --> 03:01.159
and basically it's just different it'll

03:01.159 --> 03:04.120
it'll change the

03:06.280 --> 03:09.680
pitch and here's what's really cool this

03:09.680 --> 03:12.519
thing gets crazy

03:14.239 --> 03:18.120
loud so you probably can't hear me I

03:18.120 --> 03:19.920
certainly can't hear myself so I'm going

03:19.920 --> 03:21.680
to turn it off

03:21.680 --> 03:24.959
again so one of the things the company

03:24.959 --> 03:27.959
says is it actually is like 10% or 10 DB

03:27.959 --> 03:29.360
louder than any of its competitors

03:29.360 --> 03:30.280
something like that

03:30.280 --> 03:32.400
it's gets it really loud if you're in an

03:32.400 --> 03:34.159
environment where you really need to

03:34.159 --> 03:36.599
have background noise to give yourself

03:36.599 --> 03:39.159
privacy or to give other people privacy

03:39.159 --> 03:41.920
this is a real nice unit now let's just

03:41.920 --> 03:43.879
talk real quick about it so we got the

03:43.879 --> 03:47.200
10 um fan sounds and the 10 White Noise

03:47.200 --> 03:50.400
sounds it has a sleep timer so you can

03:50.400 --> 03:52.000
actually set different timers if you

03:52.000 --> 03:54.000
want it to just go on for 30 minutes and

03:54.000 --> 03:57.159
then turn off you can do that and

03:57.159 --> 03:59.000
obviously volume up down and it has a

03:59.000 --> 04:00.720
kind of interesting design choice

04:00.720 --> 04:04.239
because it has a USB plug so on the

04:04.239 --> 04:05.799
other end of this wire that I have

04:05.799 --> 04:09.239
plugged in is just a USB plug and a USB

04:09.239 --> 04:10.799
adapter so you plug it into your

04:10.799 --> 04:13.720
computer plug it into any USB charger

04:13.720 --> 04:15.519
but then this end of it is actually a

04:15.519 --> 04:18.239
sort of specific little plug it's not

04:18.239 --> 04:21.040
actually like a micro USB and I asked

04:21.040 --> 04:23.120
the company about that and they said it

04:23.120 --> 04:25.919
was because they needed that 90° angle

04:25.919 --> 04:27.520
to get it to plug

04:27.520 --> 04:30.320
in let's turn that off again

04:30.320 --> 04:33.039
um and that's legit I mean that's that's

04:33.039 --> 04:34.639
their design decision it's something you

04:34.639 --> 04:36.479
should know but it's great because if

04:36.479 --> 04:38.800
you have the right wire then you really

04:38.800 --> 04:41.560
have a very small compact unit that you

04:41.560 --> 04:43.400
can plug into anything you can plug this

04:43.400 --> 04:45.199
into your laptop if you needed to when

04:45.199 --> 04:48.280
you're on the road and so this

04:48.280 --> 04:49.960
particular one that I got also comes

04:49.960 --> 04:53.320
with a handy travel case which doubles

04:53.320 --> 04:56.880
as I don't know maybe as a Play-Doh mold

04:56.880 --> 04:58.840
now not just kidding don't use it as a

04:58.840 --> 05:00.639
Play-Doh mold

05:00.639 --> 05:03.360
um and here's the really great thing is

05:03.360 --> 05:05.080
they're really quite reasonably priced

05:05.080 --> 05:09.520
so this unit by itself is $49.95 comes

05:09.520 --> 05:11.120
in a couple of different colors they

05:11.120 --> 05:13.440
also have a smaller version of it which

05:13.440 --> 05:16.240
comes in pastel colors and that one only

05:16.240 --> 05:19.039
has six fan sounds and six White Noise

05:19.039 --> 05:22.160
sounds but it's perfect for the nursery

05:22.160 --> 05:24.520
so if you have a baby then a lot of

05:24.520 --> 05:26.160
times having some background noise in

05:26.160 --> 05:28.080
the baby's room can really help them

05:28.080 --> 05:31.120
sleep and sleep deeply which any parent

05:31.120 --> 05:33.000
that's watching this knows is an

05:33.000 --> 05:34.639
absolute blessing so here's the funny

05:34.639 --> 05:36.720
thing is the electr fan junor which

05:36.720 --> 05:38.919
comes in the pastel colors is the same

05:38.919 --> 05:40.120
price it's

05:40.120 --> 05:43.319
$49.95 and then if you want to get this

05:43.319 --> 05:45.680
plus the travel case then the whole deal

05:45.680 --> 05:46.560
runs

05:46.560 --> 05:49.919
$69.99 still not too bad at all and as I

05:49.919 --> 05:52.840
said from our field tests it's super

05:52.840 --> 05:55.280
great I mean this will always be in my

05:55.280 --> 05:57.440
suitcase from now on when I travel

05:57.440 --> 05:59.840
either by myself or certainly with my

05:59.840 --> 06:02.280
children because man you know they can

06:02.280 --> 06:04.560
be so alert to noise that I can turn the

06:04.560 --> 06:06.599
page in a book and there's like huh what

06:06.599 --> 06:09.720
are you so you still awake so this gets

06:09.720 --> 06:12.800
rid of all of that super useful so this

06:12.800 --> 06:16.080
is the electro fan and the pastel ones

06:16.080 --> 06:18.599
the electropan Jr you can learn a lot

06:18.599 --> 06:22.360
more at elran

06:22.360 --> 06:24.319
docomo where they got tons of great

06:24.319 --> 06:27.280
reviews anyway this is Dave Taylor and

06:27.280 --> 06:28.880
all this talk of sleep has made me want

06:28.880 --> 06:30.520
to have a nap

06:30.520 --> 06:35.720
so I'll catch you in my next video

06:37.900 --> 06:57.298
