LectroFan Evo Vs LectroFan Classic: Which Is Best?

[@wrtucey]

Thank you for this, just ordered the classic.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

You're welcome. I hope you like it!

[@nonames66696]

Thank you! Just watched a few of your videos and was just about to grab the Evo before seeing reviews from folks that owned both and found the Classic superior in terms of sound quality. I think I'll start with the Classic. Side note, your voice is very soothing 😊

[@nosleeplessnights1]

You're welcome Daisy! I know some people prefer the sound quality of the classic. Personally I like both, but there is a case for the classic having a slightly better speaker perhaps. And thanks for the compliment by the way!

[@Thoughtfuldays_]

I just discovered you today and I spent almost two hours going through all your videos. This video convinced me to purchase the Lectrofan Classic for my bedroom and the Dreamegg D3 Pro for my office area.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Thanks for watching so many of my videos! It's good to know my voice can be tolerated for so long:-) Those are both good white noise machines, so I hope you like them and that they last the test of time. Let me know how they work out for you - if you have a minute once you've experimented with them.

[@calculatorade]

Thank you so much for all these reviews. I've been devouring your reviews the past few days trying to decide what to get to help with the noise of neighbors that moved in a few weeks ago. The Snooz, Lectrofan, and Sound+Sleep ones all seem great, thanks to your reviews. You've really done a great service here helping people with sleep.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked the reviews, and I really appreciate your kind feedback. It always helps motivate me to keep making these videos! Those three white noise machines are all good options. As for blocking the sound of your neighbors, it depends on the kind of noise they are making as to how effective they will be though. If you're looking for a specific purpose like that, I'd make sure you can get a refund before buying any of them in case they don't do the trick.

[@skykitchen867]

Thank you so much for your video and the comparisons between the two. The eight hour timer on the evo is perfect and the sounds you played sounds so good. I just purchased mine from Amazon (its on sale) and will be looking forward to receiving it . Was using a small tv in the bedroom streaming all night sound videos with black screen from you tube, the evo will be using much less electricity and won't use data usage from my internet. thanks again!

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Hi, you're welcome - I'm glad it was helpful. I hope you like it and I'd love to hear your thoughts (as would other viewers I imagine) once you've had a chance to use it, both positive and negative.

I have to have a fan on at night sleep for the noise but in the winter it's too cold think I'm going to try the classic

[@nosleeplessnights1]

That's one of the main benefits of these devices - fan sounds without the cool air. I hope you like it - let me know!

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

Very good video. Well informative and great demonstration of the sounds. Well done sir. I have the classic lectrofan and I love it. I live on a busy highway with big truck traffic all night. Just ordered a refurbished one from eBay so that I will always have a backup. Less than half the price of a new one. Too good of a deal to pass up from a top rated seller.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Thanks! I'm glad to hear you liked the video. How loudly do you have to play it to block the sounds of the trucks? And good job on the bargain hunting - that sounds like a good price indeed. I hope they did a good job refurbishing it.

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

@@nosleeplessnights1 I play mine at full volume. I don’t hear the trucks going down the highway at all. I hope that the refurbished one works out. It is being offered by a top seller on eBay. I bought my first one from Bed Bath and Beyond. I have bought refurbished items before and I have never had a problem with them. I bought this one for a backup just in case and I have a travel van and I will probably have it in there to take it on vacations. When it arrives I will run it for several nights to be sure that it is in sound condition. It has a free 30 day return.

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

@@nosleeplessnights1 just wondering if you have tried refurbished white noise machines? I have bought refurbished items before and never had a problem with them. But there is always a first time.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Full volume all night - I hope it's not doing any damage to your hearing, because that's some serious volume for such long time periods. The LectroFans typically hit close to 80 dBA when I measure the volume on max, even from the other side of the room, which is very loud. I haven't bought any refurbished white noise machines before, no. Because I review them, I prefer to have factory sealed ones so I can see how they are right out of the box. I have bought them on eBay before though and haven't had any problems compared to those I buy on Amazon or the manufacturer websites.

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

@@nosleeplessnights1. I love the high volume. I don’t sleep extremely close to it. It more or less sends sound waves through the whole room. It takes quite a bit of volume to drown out the highway noise. Plus train tracks are on the other side of the highway. The Lectrofan has been a lifesaver for me. For years I used a high velocity fan to sleep by. I am thinking that they have discontinued the Lectrofan classic. I am sure that the Evo is as good or better than the original classic. I enjoy your channel so much and I have a lot of respect for you giving such honest reviews.

[@AliceAndTheWalrus]

Great video, thanks so much! One question, does the Evo recall/save your last sound selection and volume level when you power it off and back on?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

You're welcome - I'm glad you liked the video:-) Yes, it will remember those settings, as long as you don't unplug it from the mains.

[@Bonesince1997]

Is that the same with the Classic?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Yes it is.

[@cl9826]

The classic runs in my bedroom 24/7 for years now. Never had an issue. I just don't like the look of the Evo

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Can I ask why you run it 24/7? Fair enough about the look. Personally, I quite like the curves of the Evo, but I can see how the Classic would appeal too as it looks sharper.

[@maddysunshine4173]

Which one works better to kill the noise from neighbours tv

[@nosleeplessnights1]

I don't think there is any noticeable difference in how well they would help with that issue, so choose whichever one you like most.

[@madmax2069]

I would have to go with the evo because I could hook it up to a more substantial audio system.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

That's one of the main reasons to choose the Evo - being able to use your own headphones gives more flexibility in how you hear the white noise.

[@almostaskater20]

Great video. I see there’s a 60 minute timer is it as simple as pressing that button 8 times to set to 8 hours? Thank you

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Thanks! That's correct for both machines.

[@mirandacouche802]

I like the sounds on the LectroFan Classic more, than you for posting!

[@nosleeplessnights1]

You're welcome! The difference is subtle, but there definitely is a difference in the way they sound.

[@HM-wi4zf]

I heard people say this LectroFan Evo White Noise Machine works in covering the stomping and dropping noises of my upstairs neighbors. But so far it has not worked for me. I tried the fans and now the noises on 60 decibels with earplugs on but can still hear their disruptive noise. What am I doing wrong and what specific noise and volume on this device have you used to effectively block stomps and dropping noises from the upstairs neighbors?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Unfortunately, stomping noise from upstairs can be very difficult to block out, especially if the sound is travelling through the physical building and furniture rather than just through the air. I normally find brown noise works best for this, along with earplugs. Maybe you could try different/better earplugs? Which ones are you using?

[@HM-wi4zf]

@@nosleeplessnights1 I am using Mack's ultra soft earplugs. I think they are working because when I turn on the brown noise on the LectroFan to 60 decibels, I can barely hear the LectroFan's noises, but the neighbor's stomps and dropping sound can be heard through my earplugs louder then the LectroFan's noises to wake me up. I thought about turning up the volume higher so I could hear the brown noise more clearly with my earplugs on, but that would mean it would go up to 70+ decibels. I think it might work than but concerned if its bad for my ears to listen to sound that loud because I did it once and my ears hurt even with my earplugs on to reduce the noise.

[@nosleeplessnights1]

I understand. It's a tricky balance you need to find between blocking out the sound you don't want to hear and replacing it with sound or using something like earplugs that irritates your ears and/or brain! Unfortunately, I don't have many suggestions for you. Keep experimenting and hopefully you'll find something that works well.

Nice review. Just wandering tho, does the classic have continuous playing of sound instead of 60 minute timer?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Thanks! You can have continuous play or a timer. It's your choice.

[@newfiegirl3222]

Great video.. thanks!!! Which sound would you recommend to help block out neighbors music. The brown noise?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

You're welcome, glad you liked it. I think it depends on the music, the volume, direction etc. Brown noise is good for masking music with heavier bass I find. One of the reasons I like machines with lots of variety though is that you can experiment with the sounds to find one that blocks the most external noise.

[@newfiegirl3222]

Thanks!

[@TacoCrisma]

The classic sounds way better

[@nosleeplessnights1]

The more I listen to them, the more I think you may be right - but the difference isn't so much in my opinion.

[@chair_smesh]

@@nosleeplessnights1 do you think the lectrofan classic sounds better than dreamegg d3?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

For white noise and fan sounds, yes. It lacks the nature sounds, so there's no comparison there obviously.

[@amelialiberte6768]

Hello, I bought the Electrofan Evo white noise machine. I am very satisfied with the noises proposed to cover the environment. I wear earplugs to cover the noise, I turn it up to maximum volume but it's not enough for me. how can I increase the volume of the machine that strategy? THANKS

[@nosleeplessnights1]

It's not possible to increase the volume of the machine. It's also generally not advised to play white noise very loudly, especially for long periods of time.

[@JMP-kw3wy]

Try using two of them. It might spread the masking out better

[@김김김-t1t]

Hello, your review was very helpful to me. Thank you. By the way, I have a question. Based on your review, I have now ordered the lectrofan classic. Will it effectively block out the low-frequency sounds felt by the residents above me when they walk? Or would Sony's Bluetooth speakers, which were featured in your other reviews, be a better option?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Hi! I'm happy to hear it was helpful. It's hard to predict if one will be better than the other, or if either of them can completely block out the impact noise from upstairs neighbours. Comparatively, I think both of them are good choices though. They both produce more bass/lower frequency noise than most other white noise machines, so if anything can help, hopefully the Lectrofan or Sony speaker can. If they don't block it completely, headphones would be my recommendation.

[@김김김-t1t]

@@nosleeplessnights1 thank you!!

[@HeyDoraWinifred]

@@김김김-t1t hey did the lectrofan classic block out footsteps from above?

[@mac3490]

Hi thank you for this useful comparison. I have one question; on my DreamEgg D3, I have an underlying sound / tune beneath the brown noise that I use. It is very subtle but in the dead of night becomes very noticeable. Have you ever heard of this problem on any other machine? I'm certain the underlying sound is not supposed to be there. Do any of the lectrofan devices suffer from these difficulties, in your experience? Thanks

[@nosleeplessnights1]

You're welcome! I've definitely heard that on several machines. I don't usually detect it with white/brown noise, but often when there is a nature sound like birdsong or gentle brook, I hear a sort of white noise sound that probably shouldn't be there. I don't think it happens with the lectrofan classic or evo.

[@lexxandera]

Most fan sounds of lectrofan have an annoying (once you notice) underlying humming sound that "shouldn't be there". My guess is, that it is supposed to imitate a more organic (electrical) sound. But there are still 2 good ones. I am using only 1 fan sound that does not have that humming sound. I am sure everybody will find their favourite sound and only use that. The white noises of the lectrofan don't have any humming sound. That is my opinion. And i have to admit that i was a bit disappointed that most fan sounds are useless for me, because my brain will try to hear the humming sound. But I'm still happy with the purchase.

[@julzyboy8960]

I bought the Evo and it has this problem where the volume suddenly lowers on its own if I put it high for some reason, so I am forced to keep it on a lower volume, anyone else having this issue?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

That sounds like a faulty machine to me. Can you get a refund or replacement? It really shouldn't do that.

[@DarkHype936]

Hello sir. I have neighbors in my basement and want to drown out my voice and theirs below. Which is louder between the two?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

They are very similar in volume. The classic may be a little bit louder if you use a decibel meter, but there's not much noticeable difference if you play them at the maximum volume in a small room.

[@crossstitcher2854]

Would these machines help mask drilling sounds for a baby trying to nap in a building undergoing construction work? If so, what settings would be best?

[@nosleeplessnights1]

In theory, it's possible they would because both machines are very loud on maximum volume. But...it depends on how loud the drilling is, how far away, how much of the noise is vibrating through the walls etc. Another concern is how loudly you'd potentially have to play white noise to block out all of the drilling if it's extremely loud. It's usually recommend, for example, to play white noise to youngsters as quietly as possible, for as short a time as possible, and to have the white noise machine as far away from where they're sleeping as possible. So while both LectroFans do a good job of masking external noise, getting the balance right between helping with sleep and not playing the white noise too loudly is the real question.

Hi David, thanks for subscribing! They shouldn't be able to hear the white noise unless you walls are very bad in terms of sound proofing, and the volume is on maximum. But I don't think it will be a problem.

5:13 Anyone who has this, please help. Does it sound just like a white noise KZbin vid playing out loud or is it the recording? I really want the feel of a loud window AC fan, not a recording

[@nosleeplessnights1]

Would you like my thoughts too, or are you asking other people only?

[@Wra8h]

@@nosleeplessnights1 yes please do share your thoughts

[@nosleeplessnights1]

So, it's kind of a tricky question to answer. My best guess would be if you're very sensitive to noise, and tend to easily pick up on the differences between noise sources, then the fan sounds might sound more like recordings than an actual AC fan to you. While they do sound different to KZbin videos when you have them in a room, it also depends on the quality of speaker you use to play those KZbin videos. Then there's the issue of how the sound comes across taking into account the fan sounds are generated by the white noise machines, then captured by my microphone, then edited, then uploaded to KZbin, then played through whatever device you listen to! When I play the video back and listen on decent headphones or a Bluetooth speaker, the 'type' of noise is accurate, but there are some differences to how it sounds in the room in front of you playing. The only way to tell is to try it and send it back within 30 days if it's not what you were hoping for.
