SNOOZ
SNOOZ Pro Smart White-Noise Machine
Best for: Fan-sound fans who want schedules, fade-outs and finer volume in a bedroom or nursery.
Trade-off: Fan-machine volume ceiling and mains-only power.
Head-to-head
Both make noise with a real fan inside a shell, so neither can loop. The SNOOZ adds an app, a scheduler and finer control; the Dohm adds nothing, which is its argument.
The short answer
Buy the Dohm if you want fan sound and would never open an app: one switch, two speeds, a twist for tone, and decades of the same design. Buy the SNOOZ Pro if you would use a schedule — a nursery fade-in, a fixed bedtime, a fade-out after the alarm — or want ten volume steps instead of two. Both have a fan's modest volume ceiling; for a loud room, neither is the answer.

Yogasleep
Best for: Ordinary bedrooms where a soft, natural masking sound is enough.
Trade-off: A small fan cannot go very loud, and it needs a wall socket.

When each one wins
The SleepOriginal verdict
Same sound, different amounts of software. If the schedule is a feature you will use, the SNOOZ Pro is the better machine; if it is a feature you will set once and forget, the Dohm does the job for less and asks nothing afterwards.
Questions
Similar in character — both are moving air — but the SNOOZ has a wider tone range and finer volume steps. Neither has the depth of a digital brown-noise machine.
