I love that they finally changed where the buttons are on the actual machine with the plus. We have used ours from day one with our daughter that just turned two and got our now 8 month old her own when she was born. So helpful for so many different times with a child!

We are a bit of a Hatch family at this point. We got the Hatch Rest for our second child and loved it so much while she was sleeping in her bassinet in our room. We then got a Rest Plus for our first kid after he started having some issues with being scared of the dark. He loves his light and is amazed that it turns colors when it is time to get up. We just recently bought the new Hatch Restore for us and so far it is working out great! The sunrise alarm is surprisingly gentle and has woken us up before the actual alarm sound has had to go off. We also appreciate that the clock has the option to turn off while the Restore is in the bedtime routine.

I seriously love your channel! Your reviews are so honest and I feel like I can actually trust you!

Because of your first Hatch Baby Rest review, we bought the original. I LOVE it.

Got the hatch two years ago after watching your first review and was debating wether of getting the plus for baby #2 so glad you did this review! Awesome man!

We use our Hatch Rest every night and love it! Got it from watching your other review video of it.

Like 67! I was in need of this review. I really want this for the nursery/baby #4 😊 Thanks Andrew

Thanks for the review. Super helpful and informative actually switched to the plus after your thoughts. Hope your well! Have a great Christmas season.

Oh I was going to use this for me 😂😂 but it’s for babies

@lll3388 I used my baby’s more than he did in the beginning, now we each have one 😂 definitely not just for babies and highly recommend for adults!!

Check out the Hatch Rest Plus, Original Rest and alternate options here: bit.ly/2LmYohW

You are so sincere, and honest. Thank you for offering the analysis of buying the older version vs the newer version AND less pricey options for nurseries. You're awesome! And I almost didn't click bc it was only 6 mins, but it's really packed w/ info :) I know you're religious but it was weird to hear God bless cuz I'm not religious...oh well, that's nice of you :) Thanks dude!

that QUALITY bro. love it.

We love our hatch scale and rest plus!

Bought the Rest Plus as soon as you reviewed the first edition, now paired with my Nest cam even! Almost cost me double the RRP though, as I had to ship it to NZ, but still totally worth it!

Thanks you so much We just received the plus as a baby shower gift. 🙌🏾🙌🏼🙌🏾👽💙💙💙

Thanks now my wife wants this one haha

Pretty cool product. We used the Sleep Sheep for sound, an IP camera for monitoring, and a salt lamp for a nightlight, so this looks like it'd be able to replace a lot of that. (New sub! Just discovered your channel and I think it's great to see other engaged dads doing their thing.)

This is the one item I'd buy when I have another baby!

You are extremely helpful thank you. Very good at advertising a product 👍🏼

new dad here, just found your channel and absolutely loved your review - i think we will stick with the original as the newer version has options that overlap as you said

I have it in my registry! 😁

Thank you for helpful review. Is this also an alarm clock?

I’m just going to be honest, we would use this even without the baby. It’s awesome

Bought this last December, very pleased with it so far. My only caveat is that the Alexa command takes longer than it should have to. Its is nit-picky, but would nonetheless be cool to be able to say "Alexa, turn off Rest" or "Alexa, turn off night light" or some other way that it could be customized rather than being stuck with "Alexa, tell Hatch to turn off my rest". Otherwise it is great so far!

I love the new vs. old version comparison. Thank you!

We really enjoy the Hatch Rest Plus, but yes like you mention we also have the Nanit so they overlap alot of features. I do like the sound from Hatch much more than nanit sound.

Same! Despite the overlap, I love having both options.

This was a great video! Quick question. A user manual did not come in our box. Any suggestion on where I can find one. I attempted to google search but really no luck. TIA.

Any thoughts on the baby shusher? Would prefer that sound effect to get incorporated into something like this for $90.

Does audio monitoring function let you hear your baby from outside the house, like if I'm in the office at work?

Dang! The main thing I was gonna get the plus for (monitor while white noise is playing) you said you can’t hear well over the noise 😩 Not ideal. Could you do a short video showing how loud it is - the white noise cutting into the audio?

Thinking about using this for our room and I'm curious about the time to rise function. Is there a function where it gradually gets brighter? Or does it just automatically go to one brightness setting and whatever color you choose? Or is it only green? I have a pixel phone and unfortunately the gradual morning sunrise on the pixel stand has a glitch where it makes the alarms blare annoying loud generic beeping rather than a tune I select so I had to turn that off.

Can you customize the wake up times for different days?

Hi! Can you transition from no light to OK TO WAKE light? We don't use night lights but our children are early risers! Thanks

Does the monitor function work when not on wifi?

My hatch plus rest touch ring doesn’t work properly. I’ve just bought 2 of them. One of them works as it should. The other one though with my phone it’s fine every feauture is working but when you touch the ring nothing happens. When you touch the brightness buttin the device resets itself. I couldn’t find anything about this issue. If some sound is already playing when you touch the ring it shuts the noice and that’s it. Touch ring doesn’t turn on or off the device. What is the problem ?

It always sucks being in Australia and hearing “it’s $89!” Yeeaaahh it’s like $250 here.

The ONLY reason I considered it it's because i saw someone talk about the way she would use the hatch light on a dim red to wake up at night and breast feed without waking up her husband with brighter lights lol. But idk if I'm willing to spend $80 just for that 🙄 my husband can struggle a little. I'm the one actually having to feed baby 😂

Does it work with Alexa routines?

Hi Andrew ! If there is a power outage while in use, does it switch automatically to the backup battery without any delay? Thanks!

Yes, it will continue running off of the battery automatically.

Is there a way to hear the rain sound? you can't play your own audio files right? that seems bad, I want to play my own rain file

But you never played the sounds!!! I want to know what it sounds like, how loud it is.

I have heard there is a loud sound played when it disconnects/reconnects.. have you experienced this?? Also.. how does the sound compare to the original?

@dadverb

In our experience, we had a minor issue with the original Hatch where the micro-USB jack came loose and upon reconnecting, it came on super loud. Other than that, no issues. Regarding sound quality, it's identical. No noticeable improvements or upgrades.

Can the music play along time?

Nice but why haven’t you mentioned the most popular white and pink noises toys? I mean hummy bears and whisbears? I think these 2 companies actually were first in the world invented this kind of devices and then it was copied. Plus I prefer to have 2 in 1.

I’m planning to buy the Nanit for our baby. Do you think whether I should buy the Hatch rest? How do you compare the sound machine function of the Hatch and the Nanit?

@dadverb

The Hatch sound and light output is far better than Nanit's on-board options. If budget allows, Hatch is a great thing to pair it with.

It would be great if you could somehow add the baby's/toddler favorite lullabies .. or can you??

I wish! I thought they add some function like that or have an expanded library. Maybe they'll roll that out one day but time will tell.

Can you disable the night light and only use the light feature for wake time signaling? I want my nursery dark at night and want to only use the light to tell toddler its time to wake.

Can you use the hatch plus over hotspot? We use hotspot in our home not routed wifi

@dadverb

Haven't tested a hotspot but by guess is that it'd work but if you're using it for sound monitoring, there's a chance it may cut out. If not using sound monitoring, you can actually use this without wifi.

@@dadverb thank you! I went ahead and got it anyways and it did work on everything except the voice monitor, which is fine for our household because they sleep in our room, but it says 'in order to use the voicr monitor you have to both be connected to the same wifi and not the hotspot' unfortunately

Hmm.. I have a 4 year old (who is afraid of the dark) and a 2 year old... I wonder if it would still be useful at these ages...

This product is awful. Stay away! When the app works, it's terrible. Setting up schedules, etc is extremely clunky and time-consuming. Our app has stopped working altogether. You can't set up or change schedules anymore and some just disappeared after the last update. Great idea, but terrible quality and support.

Seriously this is what you call white noise? I spend time and money buying this crap and it turns out to be just a speaker with preset sounds. Anything but white noise. Folks, please stop inventing your own definition of white noise.
