This is our second Dohm - the first one lasted 10-12 years. We bought the first after an experience in a poorly designed vacation rental where the A/C unit was way at the other end of the space from our bedroom. To try to draw the cool air back to the bedroom, we turned the overhead fan on during the night - concerned the fan would be too loud for us to get to sleep - and had some of the best sleep of our lives. We came home, I mentioned it to a friend, she recommended the Dohm.I had read reviews complaining about the sound quality of the newer machines, but we found it sounds exactly like the original, which is just what we wanted. Because it operates mechanically rather than electronically, it has a mellower sound than the apps on our phones.This is really too big and heavy for travel, though! For that we have two Rohms, made by the same company, one that lives in my suitcase and another in our travel trailer. The Rohm does use electronic sound but we find it does a good job mimicking the rounder sound of the Dohm.
