Sleepless Nights? This #1 Selling Projector Turns Your Room Into a Starry Night Sky, and It’s $40 for the 4th of July

Imagine lying in bed while a celestial spectacle unfolds above your head. It’s a relaxing and intriguing aurora borealis-like effect hovering over your head, moving rhythmically to the beat of soothing music. This otherworldly device from Rossetta is officially a star projector, but we could call it a mood diffuser—or a mood machine. Whether you need a more soothing way to fall asleep or a gift for amateur astronomers, this device has a little something for everyone.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

You’re saving over 30% on this nifty gadget. That’s a pretty sweet price for an incredibly popular all-rounder with over 15,000 flawless reviews. Sure, there are projectors that cost less, but many don’t have the white noise features that make the Rossetta a sleep-inducing miracle.

Why do I need this? 🤔

You’ve heard of white noise machines, right? This projector takes it a step further. Not only does it offer 16 different color combinations (you know, if instead of the starry night you want to see Jupiter up close and personal), but it also has five different speeds and eight sounds. From the crackling of a campfire to the crashing waves of the ocean, it can help create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

What the critics say 💬

With over 15,000 five-star reviews, this gadget introduced the Sandman to many people.

Benefits 👍

If you have trouble sleeping, this is a must-have. “This product is hands down the best purchase I’ve made this year,” one shopper raved. “The colors are amazing. It’s super calming and the white noise (rain) has me falling asleep in less than an hour. I’ve never fallen asleep so fast on a work night without this product.”

White noise features can help drown out the sounds of other people in your home. “Blissful peace,” another reviewer raved. “The colors and color combinations are just beautiful… The floating stream of aurora lights is relaxing and very close to nature. I really like the sound features; I personally prefer the sound of the flowing stream.”

One last fan shared that they got it for their child: “I bought this for my daughter as a night light, but ended up using it in my room. So many cool colors and features.”

Disadvantages 👎

While the star projector is fun to use, some users wish it were more customizable. “It looks so cool in person, I was amazed when I first turned it on!” one buyer reported. “I project it on my ceiling every night to relax. It has a timer and options to dim the lights/use selected colors. I just wish the stars moved too, and I wish there was an option to have just stars.”

Another user warned that other remotes could cause interference. “The main downside is that it seems to react to most other remotes in my house. It’s not a deal breaker, but it is a little annoying.”
