 I can hear the clock ticking... |

After a week of fuzz from the Graco Digital Deluxe iMonitor Baby Monitor. We returned it and bought this product on impulse at Target. This monitor is very simple to use and crystal clear. (As I am writing this review I can hear the clock ticking in the nursery.)
Pros:
+One button operation. (Turn on the baby-unit, turn on the parent-unit...done. There is no channel button to worry about.)
+Crystal clear. No static even at max volume.
+Loudest setting is loud enough.
+Lights show level of noise baby is making.
+Neat design. (This may sound weird, but baby monitors are for parents...not for babies. So why do so many of them look like toys?)
+Uses 3 AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries. (So they can be easily replaced if needed. Or if you don't plug it in, you can just use regular AAA's.)
+Only one parent unit (If you think you need two parent units, you should try either getting a smaller house or trusting your spouse.)
+Range sufficiently covers our house and yard.
Cons:
-I have my doubts about the belt clip. No problems yet, though.
-There is no charging cradle for the parent unit. So you have to plug in the cord every time. (Not a huge deal, but it would be nice.)
We haven't had it long enough to speak to its durability and battery life, but for now we are very happy with this product.
Bottom-line: We feel like we can trust this baby monitor.
UPDATE: Almost a year later, this monitor is still working great! We have no issues with interference or degrading quality. The batteries still hold their charge. Only complaint is the belt clip because it comes off easily. But this thing has fallen many times onto the hard tile floor and it still works fine. |
Great monitor

I kept debating buying the Philips, but had a horrible time justifying the price, especially when I really only needed a monitor for our bedroom to the kids' bedrooms which are far away from each other in our house. Occasionally I will walk around with the receiver, usually if I am working outside during naptime. And we don't need a second receiver. The others in this price range had very mixed reviews. So I waited. Then this one popped up.
We had to have digital since we have an apartment complex behind our house. We were ALWAYS picking up phone calls and other monitors with our 900 MHz monitors. If we can hear them we have to assume they can hear us...
The monitor is quiet. No static and we can hear as much as we want. We can turn the volume way down and eliminate the "little noises" that people complain about with other monitors.
I love the small size. I am figuring out the lights. I do have to keep the monitor receiver turned and facing away from our bed, otherwise the lights are too bright at night.
I am so glad I didn't succumb and finally spend over twice the price of this one on the Philips, which I am sure is a really great model, but more than we need with a toddler and preschooler. |
Works great

| Very quiet. Bought all different types before. The 900MHz and 2.4GHz ones still make hiss noises especially if you turn it up all the way. This one at full volume it's really quiet. Bought this from the NEX. |
Great Product for price

| I am very pleased with this product. I hear no static and I only hear the baby. It isn't strong enough to hear the baby's breathing but coughs are audible and crying is very audible. I keep it on at night stand next to my bed. It is very nice for when I am vacuuming or showering because if the baby makes noise the bars light up and even though you can't hear it, you can see that the baby is making noise. Some reviews said it was too loud and the light was too bright, but I don't have any problems with it. You can always turn the volume down or you can put tape over the light. And I have not had any problems with the range. |
Love Love Love this Monitor!!!

I'm not usually one to take the time to write a review, but i just have to share how great this monitor is!
I was in the same thoughts as alot of other parents were- "i should get the graco imonitor because it's digital and graco and cool and i will not have any interference and it has a 2000' range"- So wrong! i bought the imonitor before the baby was born and tried it out and it failed miserably. we live in a typically sized suburban neighborhood lot and it barely made it to the end of our driveway without beeping out of service:(
So i returned it to target and got the Safety 1st, admittedly doubtful about it's quality bc it wasn't a "popular" name brand. But this monitor is awesome! For me, it goes about 4 houses over (probably abour 450') and is perfectly clear. i sometimes have to check to make sure it's still on- it is just that quiet. yes, the light on the baby monitor does blink when you have the parent monitor off, but i just put my baby monitor on the opposite side of his room (about 12' away) and i can still hear him perfectly clearly on the second volume level.
buy this monitor!! you will love it!! |
