5.0 out of 5 stars
Great bang for the buck!, February 20, 2007
This review is from: Evenflo Whisper Connect 900Mhz 2-Way Nursery Monitor (Baby Product)
I was debating between this analog model and digital models. I have never heard the digital models to be honest. But this analog model has been great. I can hear minor changes in my daughters breathing and talk to her over it to "buy time" when I am busy and can't get to her immediately. I have had none of the problems with noise and interference some have complained about. If your family is on a tight budget like mine, this is in the best bang for the buck out there today.

Nice monitor! Suits are needs, October 18, 2006
This review is from: Evenflo Whisper Connect 900Mhz 2-Way Nursery Monitor (Baby Product)
We've used this monitor for 6 weeks with good results. I specifically sought a 900Mhz monitor because a) there would be no chance of interference with our WiFi network (or our neighbors); b) our current cordless phones are 5.8Ghz; and c) our previous experience with 900Mhz cordless phones in our house did not result in any significant static. Our house is three levels, and, to date, we've not experienced any reception difficulties, static, or need to change channels. All we hear are crystal clear baby cries...wonderful. The microphone is appropriately sensitive, and there have been no circuitry problems with the monitor lights. I believe the rechargeable battery is NiMH not Lithium Ion. We've had the monitor on battery for at least 8 hours without losing charge. Of note, there is a one- to two-second delay after pushing the "Talk" button before the two-way feature is activated. Although this is a slight nuisance, I'm glad the delay is there. Similar to a walkie-talkie, everytime the 2-way feature is activated, there is a *click* sound at sign off heard at the base. It's loud enough to potentially wake a sleeping child. I have accidently depressed the "Talk" button when picking up the monitor. Fortunatley, the delay prevents any accidentaly two-way activation.
I witheld a fifth star because I am sure that 900Mhz is not right for every household. If you have many neighbors using 900Mhz cordless phones, your risk of reception difficulties (albeit low) increases or privacy interruptions increases.

Save your money on something that works, July 21, 2007
This review is from: Evenflo Whisper Connect 900Mhz 2-Way Nursery Monitor (Baby Product)
I always read these reviews when purchasing a product and have never actually written one before. However, I thought I would share my expereince before someone else makes the same mistake. We needed a second monitor and had no problems with our first Sony babyCall so I did a quick product research and purchased the evenflo Whisper Connect. Unlike the Sony it only has two channels, which does cause interference. However, the worst feature is the battery; either we recieved a defective battery or this is the worst rechargeable battery ever. It starts to die when removed from the charger within a couple of hours. In addition, for some reason I have not identified the monitor will be working fine and then all the sudden it sounds like a plane engine was placed next to the microphone. You need to turn it off and back on until the engine noise is gone. I ended up taking the Sony monitor from my son's room as he is now older and using this as a backup for him when needed. I should have stuck with what I knew worked. I have disliked this monitor from the first day, but had thrown away the receipt and could not return. If you do not mind having it connected to a power source at all times, the sound of plane engines, and have little interference in your neighborhood you can consider this an option.
