not worth it May 16, 2008
S. Davila (fort worth, tx)
We've been using this monitor for 9 months now, it is usable, but I would definately NOT buy it again. I wanted a monitor that would still work if the power went out in the middle of the night.. The child's unit has both a removeable AC adapter and a place for alkaline batteries, but even if it's plugged in, it will drain the batteries before it goes to the outlet's power. The parent unit still works with it's rechargeable battery (which actually lasts a long time on it's own). But it seems the static has gotten louder over time. And often it will click out for a few seconds at a time, then click back in. (it reminds me of popcorn.) But mine doesn't go out of signal and beep very often at all, maybe 4 times the whole time we've had it. (and we live in a 2 story house.) But the volume is very annoying, there is no low setting. You have loud and extra loud, which makes it hard to sleep close to. I try to muffle it by putting a sock around the speaker. So DON'T BUY this monitor, way too many negatives to balance out the positives.
 Same as everyone else, don't bother.... May 9, 2008
Mrs. Elizabeth P. Woodard (North Carolina, USA)
I see lots of people with the SAME problem I have had, so it apparently isn't a freak issue.
I bought this monitor because ones we've used in the past have had a lot of static and have picked up the neighbor's children.
This one worked great at first, but after a month of use it started having lapses, little hiccups, shall we say. Then it started letting out a shrill beep for no apparent reason. Going right back to normal use. Lovely inthe middle of the night. But, the really insidious problem that made me return it was when it stopped working, but yet LOOKED like it was working. Green light on, soft white noise coming from the unit, but that was not what was going on in the baby's room! My poor boy might have cried all night and I wouldn't have known.
I have to say, PASS ON THIS MONITOR!
don't bother May 8, 2008
Linz (austin, tx)
I received this monitor as a gift. The first one I got didn't even work so I had to call the company to get a replacement- not a big deal and they made it quite easy. However, I wish I'd just gotten a completely different monitor. I have never been able to hear/get signal outside (and I don't live in a big house) and now even though the monitor shows that it's working (lights on) I will hear my son crying, but not hear him over the monitor. Nice! SO now I have to bang the unit, turn it on and off several times before we go to bed just to make sure I can hear something. I'm fed up and looking at a new one.
Stops working April 30, 2008
twin crazy (Jamestown, NC)
I like the monitor sound quality and background noise is not bad compared with other models. However I can NOT recommend this because it sometimes just stops transmitting the sound sometime in the night and gives no indication that it has stopped working. This morning I woke up and didn't realize my toddler was crying since the monitor was on with the green light. I actually have two of these monitors since I have twins and this is the 2nd one that has stopped working intermittedly.

Rouge_1 (Houston, TX United States)
I purchase this monitor for travel purposes...small and easy to use with the rechargeable battery. I wish I had read these reviews prior to purchase. I still use it but with precautions. I have to say, I do use it around my house b/c our other monitor (with camera) makes a lot of static noises when it's out of range or there is wirless interference. The problem I have is that sometimes everything seems quite, but in reality it's not transmitting...even though both ends are plugged in - and the other monitor does transmit baby's crying. It also make the anoying sound that other reviewers have mentioned. My home is less than 2500 sq ft and it often loses signal. I would recommend checking out other makes/models before purchasing this unit.
