I bought this for travel in Europe to use in place of my Marpac home unit. It is compact and works well on European current (with a small plug adapter). Drowned out street noises very well.

We have the big analog version at home to drown out NYC traffic and whatnot. This travel version is great and portable and travels well internationally.

The Marpac sound conditioners are, without question, the best. I’ve used various devices to achieve white noise. I can say with considerable experience that the Marpac ones are more durable and worth every penny. This version (the TSCi) has the distinct advantage of having a built-in voltage coverter which permits it to be used outside the US with only a plug adapter (the European adapter is included). Some years ago, my husband “fried” a previous white noise machine by plugging it in without the voltage adapter and I realized that it’s a very handy feature. Likewise, the Marpac products last a lot longer than those made by other companies. We’ve had several from Sharper Image whose connections have broken out in no time. My husband has a mechanical machine which is >20 yrs. old; I’ve one which is >15 yrs. old. This smaller, electronic version, is perfect for travel (or home). We just returned from a week-long trip to Europe and it worked fabulously. My husband frequently travels to Africa where power outages are common and hotels are very noisy. He’s looking forward to using it with the optional battery pack on his next trip.
