Bigger, better & more buttons!

It's the Lectrofan Micro2. It was just two years ago when I reviewed the original Lectrofan Micro Sound Machine. At this Pepcom event they showed me version 2.0 and explained the changes they made. You get to select your choice of 11 unique digital, non-looping sounds --- five fan sounds, four white/pink/brown noise variations, and two ocean surf sounds. (This is only one additional sound compared to the original device, but this larger model has better sound.) It's still Bluetooth of course and pairs with smartphones for audio streaming. A built-in microphone lets you use the Lectrofan Micro2 as a speakerphone. The rechargeable battery is much bigger than in the earlier model and lasts up to 40 hours in sleep sound mode, or 20 hours in Bluetooth mode. Both models have a twist-up speaker so you can aim the sound where you want. And because of owner comments the company added something else new. Independent volume controls so you don't need buttons that do double duty depending on how long you press them. I'm in favor of that big time! On trips I use my original device when I watch a movie on my super thin laptop which has awful sound due to its tiny speaker. MSRP is $34.95, the same as the earlier model. But now the price of the original unit is down to about $22.  With almost 2600 reviews on Amazon the new 2.0 model got 4.5 out of 5 stars. That's really good.
