Query: Got what I paid for....

I didn't buy this from Amazon, but a local store. I bought this machine to replace my Philips machine that worked fabulous, but was over 15 years old. First - the ocean wave sound is not even close to my previous machine. I can tolerate it though. Every time you touch the on/off/volume knob you get static and it cuts out. Mine has an electrical adapter thank goodness. When you set it to a time, it works, but it doesn't turn off. It ends and the unit stays on until you remember the next morning to turn it off. I thought that being HoMedics, it would be fabulous. It does work and the ocean sound isn't great. I got my $17 worth. I'm shopping for another machine and that's why I'm here writing this review.
