I went through 2 cheaper machines until i finally invested in the Hatch and it was well worth it. It's easy to use and looks cute. No issues and ive had mine for 3 yrs. There was once an issue with the cord however I contacted Hatch and they instantly sent me a new one. I love the different colours, the different sounds, volume intensity etc - and best of all you can turn it on and off with your phone. A must have with a baby and a gift I love giving as a baby shower gift.
