Says the BedJet works great, usually starting at 30 percent and adjusting through the night with its remote

Bought this for the night sweats and we're both sleeping better. The nozzle is tucked under the sheet on my side only so he stays warm under his blanket. Keep in mind it doesn't make cold air, it blows room air, so on a really warm night you still want the AC on. Around 30 to 40% fan is just a soft whoosh. At full blast it sounds like a box fan, my husband wasn't having that. Ours was on the hardwood and buzzed until I set a bath mat under it. Power cord is short too, needed an extension. Pricey, no regrets
