Hatch Rest+ 2nd Generation All-in-One Sleep Assistant in White

Helps me sleep much better than before. Very relaxing.

Love it. From a functionality stand point it would be cool if the light and volume controls on the back were lighter press or just touch sensitive so it was easier to do with one hand. Love the night light feature to use for diaper changes without messing with the sound! I love that it can come off the base.

I’m a second time mom with a rest+ first generation for my two year old. I got the second generation for my almost 1 month old and OH MH GOODNESS my nights are so much better!!!! I love that I can use the same presets I’m used to AND now how the option to move this one around the room without plugging and unplugging. I keep the 2nd generation on my nightstand with the base and every single night I move it around my bedroom to hopefully feed and do diapers without waking my husband as he’s the primary day time parent to our toddler right now. I love that the white is a softer white and the sounds upgrades are lovely. This thing legitimately brings me joy when I’m burning the midnight oil breastfeeding and I am so thankful for my little friend to keep my company and literally, light the way. If you’re on the fence about purchasing one, run don’t walk to checkout NOW!

It’s constantly disconnecting from wifi and saying it’s offline. This is the only device in my house with this issue. The previous one is Bluetooth and connects great. Going back to the old one for other bedroom.

I've tried many different sound machines and this ones the best!

So I was mixed between the Rest+ and 2nd Gen+. What sold me was a coupon and went with the 2nd gen+ even with the reviews leaning towards the 1st gen. A lot of people complained about the membership which made me think that ads or constant reminders to purchase it would pop up. When first installing I did get a membership screen but clicked the X. After that it’s really not in your face as I thought. You have your main screen with favorites and the schedule. When you go to library there’s two different pages which one is the options that come with the hatch (wind, crickets, rain, thunderstorm, heartbeat, ocean, forest lake, white noise, water, birds, dryer, fan, and calm sea). The other page has previews of the membership options. It’s nice having the machine and base for being able to move it into another room without having to unplug anything. The lights, clock like, and sound are all adjustable. The battery life stated for the machine without the stand is 8hrs. The WiFi aspect has not bothered me at all. The app is really easy to use and other than taking a quick second to load I don’t find it an issue. There is an automatic connect option to the device. I love the machine and so far haven’t had any issues. Attached below is photos of the app and the hatch itself. There also is no connection to Alexa or the monitor option which is all stated on the website as well.

While this product is most likely what it promises to be, it doesn’t match my expectations for an expensive piece of equipment. The need for a monthly subscription should be over come by the initial price point. I thought this would be best for travel but I am not sure how it will work in practice with the connectivity portion (hotels don’t make it easy to connect to Wi-Fi). Overall cheaper solutions are better in terms of functionality and value. Everything is fairly basic and I can get most of not more out of my phone and a basic night light (not the range of colors but same quality). Programming things in is nice but again there are other ways to accomplish this with mobile devices that aren’t additional in expense. Thoroughly disappointed..

Previous generations connected via Bluetooth so you could easily connect to turn it on and off and select a setting. This model is wifi and mine frequently can not connect or there are delays connecting. Additionally, if you take it with you anywhere new you need to connect to that internet. Extremely inconvenient if you plan to use it anywhere outside your home. There are older models that use Bluetooth that may be better or different brands that offer more functionality at a much lower price tag.
