Ranked #3 in Best White Noise Machines

Yogasleep Dohm Nova

4.0

$64.99as of Jul 8

The Yogasleep Dohm Nova is a fan-based white noise machine that delivers natural, non-looping sound through its real fan motor. Reviewers praised its ten speed settings for customization, adjustable amber night light, and optional sleep timer. The machine features a removable, machine-washable fabric cover that helps maintain its appearance.

How they stack up

LectroFan EVO

The LectroFan EVO excels in sound variety with 22 options including ocean soundscapes, a feature the Snooz and Yogasleep Dohm Nova lack. Unlike the Yogasleep Travel Mini, it doesn't rely on a rechargeable battery and offers a headphone jack for private listening. However, it's limited to only two nature sounds compared to the Magicteam's 25, and lacks the internal battery of the Yogasleep Travel Mini and Homedics SoundSpa.

Yogasleep Dohm Nova

The Yogasleep Dohm Nova stands out with its fabric-wrapped design and removable cover, a feature not found in the LectroFan EVO or Snooz models. While it offers ten fan speed settings and an amber night light, it lacks the headphone jack and private listening capability of the LectroFan EVO, and the app connectivity of the Snooz. Its plug-in only design limits portability compared to the Yogasleep Travel Mini, though it provides better customization than the basic Homedics SoundSpa.
