 A Step Backwards In Functionality July 23, 2010
Ian C. Jacobson (Seattle, WA)
We bought the prior version of this system with our first son 2 years ago (the one with the orange accents.) We paid a premium for the security and sound quality, but what made the unit indespensible to us was the ability to start and stop the lullabyes remotely. The new generation has even better sound quality, but they've eliminated the ability to control the lights and lullabye functions from the parent unit. Hugely disapointing for us to lose those features, but we still never have static or interference, and the sound quality and temperature functions are great. We're keeping this one, but not a day goes by that we don't wish that our old orange unit still worked.
 Love this monitor July 16, 2010

In looking for a good baby monitor to replace an analog one with a lot of static I researched many different types of monitors including more expensive video monitors. I decided to go with the DECT technology monitor which I could not locate in any stores near me. This monitor is wonderful. We have absolutely no static at all and at night I hear nothing until baby stirs. I love how the blue lights light up with the different sound levels so I don't have to rely on just the sound at night or while watching a movie. I also love that it has the talk back technology, but can be annoying when the husband has the parent unit as he likes to talk into it. I also tested the range on this monitor and I can pick up the main unit 5 houses away (6 if you include my house) so it also has a really nice linkage range too (my old analog one doesn't even make it to the rear of my back yard). Two things I think could be improved on this monitor are: 1-Sound level on the parent unit is low even on the highest setting (here's where lights come in handy) but you can hear it fine when you are sleeping. 2-the ability to turn on the music from the parent unit would be nice. I absolutely love this monitor and would buy it again if I had to and recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and quiet voice monitor.

Great Baby Monitor June 18, 2010
G. D'Addario (Long Island, NY)
As a first time parent I did a lot of research on all the items we purchased/registered for, and monitors were one item that seemed to really lack options that were highly rated across the board, so I was prepared to find this one disappointing. How wrong I was! This monitor has been an excellent purchase and after 6 months of use I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable audio baby monitor.
First, the sound quality is excellent and we have had absolutely no problems with interference or static, and our house is awash in electrical signals from other gadgets. Second, it does a great job of distinguishing between the baby's sounds and ambient/background noise. The blue LED lights not only indicate when it's sensing sound that you should be paying attention to, but they come in handy if you need to keep the monitor's volume low or if there is noise in the room you're monitoring from (e.g. you've got guests downstairs and the baby is sleeping upstairs). Third, the battery life of the receiver is great and the unit is lightweight and very portable - fits nicely in a pants pocket and the belt clip is pretty sturdy. Fourth, the digital temperature read out is very handy and it is nice to have the option of an audible alert (or not) if the room temperature rises above 80 degrees. Finally, the intercom feature is a nice bonus, although I have not used it extensively.
Because our house and lot are rather small, I have not really put its reception distance to serious test, but it does work very well even when I am outside in our back yard. My only wish would be for a second receiver, but overall I have been completely satisfied with this monitor and would encourage any parent to invest in this model, it's well worth the money.
Very good quality and works as advertised. June 13, 2010

This baby monitor works as advertised.
As first time parents, after an extensive research, this unit worked out great. Here are the key points:
1. Great sound quality, no noise
2. Range is very good. Reception is clear all around house and basement (baby unit on second floor)
3. Battery life of parent unit is very good. I never got warning of battery needed charging. After each use, I dock into charger.
4. Sensitivity (temp) option is a plus.
There are no real complaints. Here are some things it can improve on:
1. Option for additional receiver (parent unit)
2. More music choice and option to control play time length
I highly recommend this.
