A complete waste of money! Makes noises; works at times; not at others. Should be taken off the market.

When I bought this unit I thought it ran like a 2 way radio.When I hooked it up it wouldn't work.I brought it back and tried another one.That wouldn't work either.I called westinghouse and was told these units work off youre house wiring.They must be pluged into outlets that have there circut breakers on the same side of the panel.In my situation they told me that they weren't going to work.They should tell you about the wiring situation on the box and let consumers know they won't work in all households.

The product carries several badges so if you order a Novi and get a Westinghouse, panic not.
It works as advertised. Plug it in an talk. Heck plug in two and someone talk back to you ! :-)
We have a big house, I have tested these on the different circuits and there were no issues. In short, they are reliable, the sound quality is good, and they work. The price is reasonable.

I had a pair for 2-3 years that worked fine, then one inexplicably stopped working. I assumed it had died and bought a new pair. For some reason they also wouldn't work on the wall plug and circuit they had worked on for 2-3 years. After paying an electrician to completely rewire the circuit it worked again, but he doesn't know why. On another circuit it worked one day and not the next. Westinghouse's explanation as to when they won't work does not include my conditions and they were little help. Save the money and install a real intercom system.

good solution for a 2 room intercom ... but one thing to know that wasn't in the directions is that these units don't communicate if plugged into a power strip (at least the ones i use) they need to be plugged into the wall outlet.

this is an affordable and easy to use intercom. If you just need something short-term it is perfect.

The product does not work at all. Since I bought and gave it as a gift for Christmas, original packaging has been discarded, so company will not refund or replace the item. Even manufacturer will not replace since I did not buy direct from Westinghouse- Never again will I deal with these sellers; they are not concerned with customer service, satisfaction or proper work ethics - only their profits from selling defective items. I am furious that I was taken advantage of this way! Do NOT do business with them if you value your time and money. And yes, I have contacted them numerous times, but all I get is non-working hyperlinks to follow to supposedly information on how to get my exchange, not refund.

I purchased the intercom system to replace one I had for 10 years. It did not work.

Purchased for my pre-teen grandchildren (they picked it out), they told me it is just "okay", nothing special, and possibly worth about half of what I paid for it. W. B. Goetz, Lemoyne, Pa

I was looking for an intercom device which would allow my wife (sleeping in one room) to contact me during the night (sleeping in another room) if she needed assistance. The NovI WI equipment was not acceptable - there was a lot of noise on the system when it was not in use: it might have been caused by the path of the signal coming close to the path of the wireless interconnect between my PC and laptop. Even when we were transmitting it still was noisy.
