We've had a great experience with this monitor.

Pros:
1. The sound quality is crystal clear. It is extremely sensitive with no static at all.
2. The range is good- I can use it outside in the garden without a sacrifice in quality. The belt clip is helpful for such times.
3. The light readout is far more helpful than I had anticipated. It indicates the intensity of the sound on the other end with the number of lights. This is useful because if you routinely adjust the volume on the receiver as I do, it's hard to objectively assess what's going on in the other room based purely on the sound level. Also the visual feedback is useful for when you're doing something noisy that doesn't lend itself to wearing the receiver in vibrate mode-in my case that means showering or running on the treadmill.

Con:
1. The monitor does eat batteries (as most of them do). We generally leave it plugged in during overnights and just use the batteries when we carry the monitor during daytime naps.
2. After 6 months, the vibrate mode doesn't work as well as it once did. I don't use it much anyway, so this isn't much of a problem for me.

I would definitely recommend this product. As with all monitors, however, keep your receipt until you've tried it out at home. Every location has its own issues with interference and a unit that works great in one place may be less effective for you.

This monitor has worked perfectly from the beginnning---there are 2 receivers with this one--which is great for upstairs and and downstairs. It's vibration mode is also great when you have guests over or when you are working in the yard and are worried you might not hear the baby if he wakes up. I can go across the street and visit neighbors while my husband naps inside--and it still works great so everyone is happy. We actually bought one with just one receiver---so the 2 receiver is a must have b/c you don't have to keep moving the receiver every where you go. There is also little or no static. Great monitor!

Really like this monitor. Good sound, very little interference. The lights and vibration mode help when I'm unable to hear. Goes through batteries quickly, so we leave it plugged in whenever possible. Definitely recommend this product.

This monitor has worked out nicely for us. I always leave it plugged in so I don't worry about it eating batteries. I haven't even used the vibrate mode so I wouldn't miss it if it stopped working. The sound is very clear but it does get occasional feedback.

Living in NYC, we were concerned about finding a monitor that would transmit clearly... and maybe even as far away as the laundry room, in the basement! This monitor did both - we LOVE it. We've used it at my parents' house, a condo in Florida and our apartment in NYC and it's great, no matter where we go. Totally recommend this. (The 4 stars is because there is occasional feedback which we can't seem to control, plus it goes through batteries fairly quickly. Otherwise, I'd add the last star.)

I love this monitor!!! It is very sensitive so I don't worry that I will not hear my little girl. I love the fact that it has the vibrate option as when we have parties it is so nice to just put it in our pockets instead of having to listen. Also, very sensitive and as a first time mother this really helped me relax knowing I would hear her breathing at night. I highly recommend it and have had no interference or static with it. As with all baby stuff though, keep your receipt and try it out first.

We just purchased this monitor and thought it would be great since it has a long range to it - especially since we have a large home. It's horrible! We have the receiver in our room and the monitor portion in the baby's room and we hear constant static on the receiver. When the baby does make noise, yes the monitor picks it up but the static is unbearable to listen too. Our bedroom and the baby room are not very far apart and no matter what channle (A or B) and what volumn level the receiver is at, we still here a contact static noise. I used to have a cheap 15.00 monitor that worked perfect.. I think I'll try to buy a cheaper model and see if we have better luck.

I have used a fisher price monitor for years and it was o.k. We needed another monitor for second child and purchased this one during a vacation. It was awful. We could not get clear reception no matter where we put it. I took the monitor home after vacation and it still didn't work well in our home. Yes, we could hear the baby but the static was unbearable to listen to.

This monitor has done pretty well for us. It eats batteries kind of fast, but I hear that about all monitors. It can be fuzzy sometimes, but I just move the monitor a few inches and the fuzz goes away. I would recommend it.

I think the antena is too small or something because there is so much static. I am going to buy a new monitor because this one is horrible
