I had two of these and just bought two more. They rock. Perfect sound and clarity across the house. We just moved to a new house and pulled the two we had right out of the wall and filled up the hole with drywall and spackle. No need to unhook wires and all that. Love these. They are great for parents who get sick of going upstairs or across the house to talk to the kids when they are in their rooms with the door closed and music on or what have you. If you want an intercom system, these are perfect. And the batteries haven't died since we got our first set Dec 2006. They supposedly last 3 years or so. Just D batteries.

One con is that when make your first inquiry to talk it blasts to every intercom in the house. When the person you are wanting to talk to responds back from the other intercom, it then becomes a two way conversation, but if you have one in a room where someone is napping, they are going to hear that first inquiry. Hope this makes sense.

Update 6/15/11 - Our house burned down and I looked to replace these and found they are discontinued. Why why why would they do that. The replacements they offer get horrible reviews and can't be cut into the wall. I'm so disappointed. Been searching eBay constantly for used ones. Nothing. Dangit. No idea why they would quit making this wonderful product.

Bought these to put one in the house and one in hubby's workshop on the other side of the yard.

Didn't have to cut into any wallboard to flush mount these intercom sets--we went to the 99-cent store and bought cheap frames whose dimensions fit the backs of these intercom units. If the frame you find is not deep enough for the unit plus the battery pack on the back, buy two 99-cent frames for each unit, then glue the two frames together. Wow! Got a great looking wall-mount intercom that can easily be taken off the wall for battery replacement, to use it temporarily in another location, mount it in another place, etc.

The clarity of voice that comes out of the speakers is great! NO fast-food speakers here--these have very clear, understandable sound transmission. Highly recommend!

The intercom set is specifically for "cutting holes in the wall". That's ok, if it is your intention. However, I was looking for the outside door unit, and I cannot cut a hole into brick. In searching for a quality, clear sounding intercom system, I was willing to pay little more.

The intercom units must be "taught" to each other to form an intercom network. So you need to hold down buttons simultaneously, etc. etc. It may help if you have another person so you can separate the two units while trying to get it to work. There are four channels and if you need another intercom, it is compatible. The sound is clear without interference. It seems to cover the 1000 limit. I tested the sound throughout a huge yard and it works.

Don't get too frustrated with getting this going. Instructions are only as good as whoever wrote them. So you will be challenged. I was seriously about to give up. So I offered the challenge to my husband and promised that if he got it working, he would earn the title "chief tech of the house!" He did it with less frustration than I had and was about to give up too! It works! Rizzo
