Owners Comments & Criticisms
After a week of fuzz from the Graco Digital Deluxe iMonitor Baby Monitor. We returned it and bought this product on impulse at Target. This monitor is very simple to use and crystal clear. (As I am writing this review I can hear the clock ticking in the nursery.) Pros: +One button operation. (Turn on the baby-unit, turn on the parent-unit...done. There is no channel button to worry about.) +Crystal clear. No static even at max volume. +Loudest setting is loud enough. +Lights show level of noise baby is making. +Neat design. (This may sound weird, but baby monitors are for parents...not for babies. So why do so many of them look like toys?) +Uses 3 AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries. (So they can be easily replaced if needed. Or if you don't plug it in, you can just use regular AAA's.) +Only one parent unit (If you think you need two parent units, you should try either getting a smaller house or trusting your spouse.) +Range sufficiently covers our house and yard. Cons: -I have my doubts about the belt clip. No problems yet, though. -There is no charging cradle for the parent unit. So you have to plug in the cord every time. (Not a huge deal, but it would be nice.) We haven't had it long enough to speak to its durability and battery life, but for now we are very happy with this product. Bottom-line: We feel like we can trust this baby monitor. UPDATE: Almost a year later, this monitor is still working great! We have no issues with interference or degrading quality. The batteries still hold their charge. Only complaint is the belt clip because it comes off easily. But this thing has fallen many times onto the hard tile floor and it still works fine.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Great monitor with one large flaw, November 22, 2008
By B. Stelzer -
(REAL NAME)
We like this monitor a lot for a number of reasons. First, there is absolutely zero interference from phones, etc (why every new monitor on the market is not digital, I have no idea!). Next, it is sensitive enough to pick up nearly every sound, but the adjustable volume effectively allows you to choose just how much you hear. Finally, it looks reasonably cool - not a huge deal, but certainly helps. Our one big gripe is that there is no audible warning sound when the battery on the parent unit dies. This is not a problem as long as you keep it plugged in. But on a few occasions now (when we were sleep deprived) we forgot to plug it back in during the middle of the night and awoke to a dead monitor, thus inspiring a mad dash down the hall to check on baby. The manufacturer could easily have built an audible warning beep that signaled that the battery was on its last leg. They did manage to do this with a visual warning signal (the light changes color) - but that is not terribly useful when you're sleeping! Other than this flaw, this really is a very good monitor. Just remember to plug in your parent unit if you use it while you're sleeping.

4.0 out of 5 stars
good monitor, flawed design, April 11, 2008
By Lorraine Von Coelln (Germany and USA) -
(REAL NAME)
I've only had the monitor for a month or so, so I can't attest to its longevity. However, Safety First doesn't exaggerate when they say there is NO interference! This monitor is crystal clear and has absolutely NO buzzing noise -- what a relief after our last monitor. Range seems pretty good, too. The one drawback I would like to mention is that the unit in the baby's room flashes when the parent unit is not turned on. What were they thinking??? I don't sleep with the parent unit on, and use it only when I am far enough away that I can't hear my daughter cry -- just an hour or two a night. The flashing isn't exactly a disco, but it's annoying enough that I had to hide the unit under my daughter's bed, even though the maker says to put it a yard away from the child for best results. In the day, I unplug the child unit so it's not flashing in her room all day. The problem is remembering to plug it back in at night. What a pain. But other than this design flaw, the monitor seems to really be quite good, which is why I am still giving it 4 stars. I hope the makers read this and rethink the design.
