We had purchased these intercoms in the past for use in our home to office about 50 yards away, so i was not too worried when the first set arrived and threw away the packaging. They worked as they always had in the past for a couple of days and then just quit. i thought there might just be something wrong with that set so i ordered another set and sent the other set back in the new packaging. The new set, like the other, worked for a couple of days and now have stopped working as well. Guess i'm stuck with these. i don't know why they would work for a couple of days then quit, but they have changed something as they do not work like they use too. After getting 2 sets in a row that quit working while still brand new i would reccommend you avoid buying these.

For a simple little machine, this is a good plug & play unit.

I purchased this Westinghouse intercom and find it lacking in quality. It emits a high pitch shreek if placed 10-15 feet distance- which I thought a reasonable distance from room to room. Sound got better if placed further apart. I returned it the next day- thinking I can get a better portable unit with an optional AC plug- like those baby listeners.

Both previous reviews are correct. I have three units. One downstairs and two upstairs. The reception is just fine. After a year, two units work and one doesn't. We tried to fix it to no avail. Still, it is relatively inexpensive and I will buy one more additional unit.

The first system received did not work. All receivers seemed to experience interference from the home electric system making communication impossible. The seller agreed to take a return and give a refund. However, instead of a refund I received another unit. We tried this one and had somewhat better success with two of the receivers, however the third still was not satisfactory. The company representative told me that this problem is not unusual and depends on the individual home's wiring. We kept the second set and are making do with two rather than three intercoms. Many years ago I bought a similar system at Radio Shack and never had any difficulties with it. . .in fact it was still working when we sold the house. Wish I could have said the same for this system.

Ordered this to use in the garage but it only has static on it, cant even use it in the house ,there is too much static to hear anything, I am very disappointed in this I wasted my money on this.

The echo, static and background noise on this thing are so bad you can hardly hear what the other end is saying. We tried to call the HELP line phone number printed on the box but it has the wrong hours for business, the recording says that "technical support" is available only to their own staff and employees, and if you try to speak with someone you get a recording saying they'll call you back in a day or two. So it's a bad, made-in-China product, carrying the Westinghouse brand, half-supported by a company called Linear, with no user assistance. Bad news all the way around.

I couldn't re-box this and return it fast enough!. I could barely get this piece of junk to communicate between two rooms in my very modest sized house. I read somewhere before purchasing this that it had a 1500' range. What a joke! The pictures deceptively fail to show the power cord. I thought I was buying "wireless." My kid's Lego walkie talkies out perform this communication device 10 to 1. Don't waste your time or money on this.

i bought this intercom to add to the 2 i brought for my mother's house. My mother is getting older and it get difficult to run up and down the stairs to ask a question or check on her. this system solved the problem for everyone in the household. Good reception and easy to use.
