Homedics Illuminated Tabletop Fountain

When I needed a tabletop fountain for a specific purpose, the Homedics Illuminated Tabletop Relaxation Fountain was exactly what I was looking for.

As any good insomniac will tell you, white noise can be helpful to someone trying to fall asleep. I normally enjoyed the sounds of either frogs or crickets, live, right outside my bedroom. The constant soothing noise helped lull me back to sleep after the multiple times a night I awoke. However, the sounds I relied on so much were cut off when a bathroom remodel placed a new wall between the helpful nocturnal critters and me.

The new bathroom was wonderful, but the new silence was devastating to my sleep patterns. Now, waking was a disaster because I was unable to get back to sleep. To add to the problem, every tiny snore and snuffle my spouse made was amplified in the silence as if it were being broadcast through speakers. I quickly realized I had to do something to replace the crickets and frogs. Since I was unwilling to bring either species into my bedroom to provide live noise, I began shopping for a mechanical alternative.

I considered a "white noise machine", noting that there were different kinds available, but decided to try to stay within a stricter budget - I would allow myself twenty dollars to spend and see what I could come up with. I saw that tabletop fountains were often within my budget and were available at a wide variety of locations, so I started shopping specifically for an indoor water fountain.
