For context, I came to this product not so much because I have crazy noise in my sleeping environment, but more because I'm a painfully light/fussy sleeper who's been more or less addicted to white noise (preferably box fans) as a coping tool since adolescence.
At home, I've slept with a box fan on medium to high for most of my adult life -- sometimes two fans, even, when extra outside noise is expected to be a problem. For years, withdrawal from this creature comfort was just one more irritation to worry about while traveling. I used other cheap sound machines or white noise phone apps, but they were qualitatively much worse than a box fan, and my sleep suffered -- especially in environments with outside noise.
The LectroFan Classic is much, much closer to a permanently acceptable box fan replacement... and it fits in your suitcase or backpack... hell, even the pocket of my backpack! If a good white noise app on an iPhone speaker is 50% as helpful as a box fan, I'd say this gets you more like 80-90% of the way there.
Pros:
- Incredible volume for the size. If you max it out in a motel room, it might legitimately disturb the neighbors. I use it around half volume even at home where that's not a concern. The speaker size also allows for more pleasant low frequencies than phone speakers, even if it can't totally match a real 2 ft x 2 ft box fan.
- Decent selection of sounds (20 total; 10 "fan" and 10 "white noise")
- Solidly made and very convenient, compact form factor (roughly 4.5" x 4.5" x 2"). There are no flimsy appendages, moving parts, or anything that seems prone to breaking absent real abuse.
- External side of power cord is USB-A, so you can run this from power banks and other charging devices. I've even done this while sleeping in the car and during a night long power outage. The package includes a USB power brick, though, so you don't need to bring your own if you don't want to.
Cons:
- Internal side (plugging into the device) of power cord is proprietary. If only the LectroFan were fully USB powered including the input jack, there'd never be any concern about breaking or losing the original power cord and having trouble replacing it while traveling.
- Most of the 10 "fan" sounds are disappointing, as someone whose ideal white noise is a real box fan. Most have too much drone and not enough "whoosh." On some, the drone is distractingly variable/oscillating. I stick strictly to the "white noise" section.
For what it's worth, as a box fan sleeping aficionado, I really only find options #3, 4, 5, or 6 on the "white noise" menu highly useful... and I've settled on #5 ("Amber" in the manual).

Best noise machine ever but sometimes there’s a lemon.
This is the best noise machine ever. So much so that I have shared it with everyone I know and they all have them and can’t sleep without them now too! It has 10 brown to white noises and 10 different fan noise (unfortunately not sorted by tone). My favorite one seems to be Fan number six, the attic fan. It’s the deepest toned fan with very little to no variability in its frequency. Perfect for sleeping. I hate the high pitched actual “white” noise, it’s just too high pitched and actually irritates me. But the low-toned fans are the best. The oscillating one is nice too and kind of reminds me of beach waves. The attic fan is my favorite and covers all the noises of a settling house, ceiling fan ticking, cars passing by outside. It has a 60 minute timer that you can click multiple times to add up (i.e. click it five times for five hours). I love it so much, I have bought about six of these over the last 5 years. Gifts to friends, ones to travel with or to use in my guest rooms for visiting family. And unfortunately, it’s bound to happen that I’ve had one dud. I used it for about 4 nights and when I woke up one morning it was just off. I inspected it well and tried unplugging and replugging but it no longer worked. Then I noticed a little deformed shiny piece on the front panel and it looked melted. I took it apart to be sure. Sure enough, one of the little circuits had burnt out completely. I’m thankful it didn’t start a fire. This could probably happen with any electrical device, nothing is flawless. So I think that one just may have been a lemon. No other ones have had any problems, and I’ve had one that I’ve been using since early 2020 every night and never had problems with it. Just a brand new one burned up in a couple days. So just a dud I guess. I just bought a new one and the same color to replace it.
