2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as its predecessor!, March 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: 900mhz Attachable Monitor (Baby Product)

I needed to replace my 3+ year old First Years Crisp & Clear, which worked great for a long time, but was sporadically failing after so much use (and abuse!). However, it appears that Crisp & Clear has been replaced by this one. (I couldn't find the Crisp & Clear at the store or on Amazon, even though Consumer Reports just rated it tops in January 2004!)

I assumed that the technology 3 years later would be better. Wow, was I wrong! This unit has a constant low buzz, and the sounds it picks up are muffled and certainly not nearly as "crisp" or "clear" as the old model, where I could hear every breath of my child.

Moreover, it has a rechargeable battery, but only for the child unit! While this might be helpful if you use the feature of attaching the child unit to the crib (which I don't need), I was extremely disappointed to find out that the parent unit does NOT have rechargeable batteries! This is the unit that is carried around (and outside) the house and is rarely plugged in. On the old Crisp and Clear model, the parent unit had rechargeable batteries, which was essential. I am returning this unit to the store where I bought it and have purchased the more expensive Clear & Near model from Amazon.com, hoping it will be as good as or superior to the old Crisp & Clear. The Clear & Near is advertised as having high quality sound and long range, as well as a rechargeable battery on the parent unit. Hopefully, it will do the trick!

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Monitor, April 18, 2005

By 

Madison and Nathan's Mom (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 900mhz Attachable Monitor (Baby Product)

This monitor was terrible. Even with the volume turned all the way up we couldn't hear our baby- Sometimes he would cry and we would hear him from the other room but the monitor wasn't registering it. We exchanged it for a Fisher Price Aquarium Monitor- also terrible, a real waste of money. We now have the Fisher Price 900 mhz and it is THE BEST monitor! We have a 14 mo. old daughter and a 3 mo. old son- we love this monitor so much that we bought it for both kids. It is so sensitive we can even hear the babies breathing- the reception is crystal clear. Don't waste your money on this one- buy the Fisher Price 900 mhz.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Reliability, Take a Pass, April 21, 2005

By

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: 900mhz Attachable Monitor (Baby Product)

We got one of these when our son was a newborn in part to avoid interference with some 2.4 GHz devices around the house. It worked reasonably well until just out of warranty, when the parent unit broke (the switch, apparently). We couldn't return it, and couldn't repair it. Stuck with a child unit, and figuring it was just one of those things, we decided to buy a replacement pair, and just have an extra child unit we could swap in and out as a replacement. Gosh, what do you know, the new child unit broke down, and we had only one parent and child unit, and then the second child unit broke down.

We didn't drop, wet, or otherwise abuse any of these units, and followed the recharge and usage instructions to a T.

Whatever the reason for the breakages, and however much the features may appeal, I don't think 12 months of combined use for two units is what you would call reliable. In fact, I call it awful. Avoid at all costs.
