I loved the fact that this monitor came with 2 receivers, but I wish that I had read these reviews before putting it on my registry. It picked up the sound of the baby very well, it also would pick up noises from our neighborhood and when our phone would ring the monitor would just go off by making loud, very obnoxious noises. We had to shut it off to get it to stop. The receiver had to be sitting just right to avoid tons of static, and that position wasn't always the same so we had to keep moving it. It would go nuts with static if we even walked by it, not even touching it! We had to replace it with a diffent brand. Very disappointed - Peace of Mind is a very inappropriate name for this monitor - it gave us a lot of headaches.

We brought our baby home from the hospital yesterday and hooked up the monitors - they worked great...for 24 hours. Now all we hear is static that only gives way to clicks and leaves us wondering which is more annoying. To make things worse they worked fine yesterday so in my rush to clean up the house and be a good husband I threw away the box so now it looks like [$] wasted. My wife has a hard enough time sleeping in between feedings without having to listen to static. Don't waste your money - buy another one.

This was the worst baby product we purchased. There is A LOT of interference. We found ourselves walking around trying to find a spot in the house where it didn't get any static. One night...we actually heard someone's phone call coming through on the monitor. For the most part, you don't even hear your baby...you hear static and noise. I can't believe they can even market an item like this which obviously has many problems. We took ours back. Do yourself a favor, if you get this as a gift...take it back before you even open it. It's junk! We bought a Sony 900Mhz and love it. There is no interference and it is like being in our son's room with him. It gives us much better peace of mind.

The reception is crystal clear. However, every so often there is a very load static noise that comes and does not go away until you get up and shut the monitor off. Who wants to be wakened during the night by that terrible sound when you are up a couple of times during the night for feeds? I took it right back, tried the fisher price monitor with the music and light show and that was terrible, it had a constant clicking noise too. I finally ended up with the evenflow monitor and I am very happy with it. No static or clicking noise to be heard.

We registered for this monitor because of the 2 receivers. Unfortunately, we had the receivers turned off more than on. The static was unbearable! No matter where the monitor and receivers were positioned in the house, there was constant static. And when the phone rang, forget it. We stopped using our cordless phone thinking that would help....not a chance. After about two weeks we went back to the store and bought a cheaper model. And guess what, it works wonderfully. We can use our cordless phone and not a peep of static. We don't hear telephone conversations either...just our little angel. This monitor system is way too expensive for the amount of aggravation that goes along with it.

I've had this monitor for six months. I have to say I'm really surprised at all the negative reviews. I occasionally have problems with static, but it's usually when the batteries are going dead. The monitor is on right now, and it is working perfectly even while someone is vacumming, on the phone, using the microwave. We also have many electronic devices around including a wireless computer network!! I will admit that when it does get staticy(sp?) it is hard to find a position for it, but it usually goes away within a few minutes. This is my first babe so I haven't tried other monitors. But this one gets the job done. Maybe mine is the odd one that works??
I keep the baby unit plugged in and it's almost always on because I forget to turn it off. No problem.
One parent unit is plugged in by the bed and stays there. The 2nd unit stays downstairs with me and runs on batteries so I can move throughout the house. No problems here!

I liked that this monitor came with two receivers, and both sound and lights. However, there was so much static that it was impossible to hear in the nursery. I found if I found a place where the sound was clear and then set the receiver down, it worked fine. However, if you moved it even slightly, the static was horrible. When I clipped it on and tried walking around, it was nothing but static. We are returning this monitor to try a new one.

After trying everything under the sun--repositioning the monitors, switching channels, rereading and rereading and rereading the directions carefully....my husband and I, frustrated to no end, have decided to return this monitor set. All we hear is static, no matter what. Read the reviews of other monitor brands and choose something else. I wish I had done my research here on Amazon before choosing this [inadequate] product!

My husband and I purchased this monitor yesterday and today it is going back to the store. There was a clicking noise every 15 seconds while the monitor was on and when we went to use our telephone the parent base would make an awfully loud static noise. I would not recommend this product at all.

I have read reviews of other monitors and this particular monitor seems to appear frequently in those reviews . . . complaints from mothers who selected it for their original purchase.

A common theme seems to be STATIC! It drives us nuts, especially at night when we are racing to get maybe an hour of sleep and all we hear is loud static. It is also unreliable. We have only used it a week and I am writing the manufacturer for a refund!
