Not recommended – This monitor was working fine except lots of interference. The probem is the receivers bacame faulty after 10 months or a years. My first dual receiver pack had that problem so I went ot buy the second dual receiver pack (newer model), but same thing happe. I had 4 faulty receivers now. Don't buy this.
Great monitor that served us well! – The only monitor we've ever used and are only now looking for another as the receiver units are no longer working. Dual rechargeable receivers means no expense for batteries and able to use 1 when the other is charging. Many channels so no chance of interference. Very sensitive and picks up all noises. Lots of interference when a mobile phone receives a call or text message.
OK – We have had this monitor for about 4 years, using it every night since our daughter moved into her own room until a few weeks ago. It was great for a non-digital monitor, but eventually the fuzzy noise we lived with all night drove us to purchase a new digital monitor. While we're enjoying the freedom from background noise, we now realise that… Read more
apart from that annoyance, this was a very good monitor. We'll use it again when our new baby is born in a few weeks because it was very good at picking up even slight noises - as loud as being in the same room. Good range, sensitive microphone, lights to indicate sound level, parent unit beeps to warn if there's a problem (low battery, no signal from child unit) Constant fuzzing noise (probably because it's so sensitive), picks up interference from mobiles ("blurping" noise when about to get an SMS etc), belt clip on parent unit didn't attach well for me - often got knocked onto ground (but survived!)
Excellent – Well worth the money. It's about the same price or slightly more than the dual channel ones but so much clearer. It's really easy to use. It has so many channels. If you live in the hills or near an area with lots of trucks or ships this one is the best. The ones with only 2 channels didn't work in my house as there was too much interference, but… Read more
it wasn't an issue with this one as it was so clear. It also warns you when it's on low charge. It has a long range (I go up stairs in our apartment building to the gym and I can still hear it!). Nothing it's great!
Terrible – Rubbish. A horribly thought out product which in all sincerety is absolutely useless given the propensity to mobile phone interference (and wireless LAN). Very sensitive microphone. Ok design. Horrible, horrible, horrible product. Mobile phone's (even when not used) cause profuse amounts of interference every few minutes. We've absolutely given up on the thing (after spending nearly $200 on it!).
Good – its a great baby monitor we have used it since my son was born and still are. its very powerful, has volume control and 10 channels. but its so strong it picks up neighbours dogs, sometimes people talking (they they talk loud) and it gets interference if an old mobile phone is in use (i have a new phone it works fine but old phones it starts… Read more
getting annoying noises). overall it is a good monitor, although vibration would of been good option as well. its great picking up baby noises and it has the light in case you cannot hear you can see the noise it picks up all other noises and fuzz's when an old mobile phone is in use
Good – As my previous monitor stopped working after 12 months I did a lot of research on monitors before buying this product. Good price. Excellent sound quality. It's so clear that I can hear birds chirping outside my baby's bedroom window. I love the fact that if the battery is low or the monitor moves out of range it starts to beep after 30… Read more
seconds (previous monitors I had just didn't work and I didn't realise my baby was screaming until I was well within my own ear shot). I haven't had to make use of the multiple channels yet. Only problem I have had is when we are at our beach house I can't use the monitor overnight as it gets mobile interference which keeps us awake (with both our mobiles turned off). Very clear, low battery indicator and out of range beeper, multiple channels Picks up mobile interference
