Owners Comments & Criticisms
I don't write a lot of reviews, but felt this recommendation was warranted. I have used both the older version of this (the silver one that's not rounded at the top), and this one. The first one worked for about a year and a half... It required a replacement battery after a year, that Summer sent me for free. I value my privacy very much. I am not one to have the analog baby monitors since every neighbor within a block can listen to you talk on the phone, talk to your spouse, etc. The digital baby monitors were always the way to go for me. I was fairly impressed with the first model, but could not find it in the stores any longer after mine died. At the time is was purchased, there were virtually no 'privacy' baby monitors available. Fisher Price --or maybe is was Graco... I can't remember, manufactured a misleading one called Privacy Connections that supposedly gave you the inference it was secure, but all they did was add a few more analog channels, that can still be picked up by baby monitors and scanners. However, about 2 months ago, I was looking for a replacement and saw that many other companies offered digital baby monitors now... one of them even saying it goes 2000 ft. Wow, I thought my choices were numerous. Sadly, after trying about 4 different ones, I found nothing worked. I have a regular brick house, with the baby's room about 20-30 feet from the monitor at any one time. NONE of the Gracos, Fisher Prices, or any other brands I tried at B*bies-R-Us worked. I would get static, 'unable to connect' and other issues. I was in shock. It wasn't like I was living in a two story, 5000 sq ft house or had any other 2.4ghz or 900Mhz devices in operation... I don't. We're talking 20-30 feet with no other similar devices around!!! After searching some other stores, I came across the new version of this Summer monitor. It worked perfectly. I did not say it was ideal, but it performed without static or dropouts. That's what I wanted... something that would work and give me some privacy. That said, here's the PROS and CONS: PROS: * Worked out of the box * Long range, not affected by brick, walls, or furniture in the way * Digital transmission for privacy * Great customer service if you ever need it * Price was pretty good compared to most other brands CONS: * No rechargeable battery included like previous model. Use your own or use alkaline. * Feels very light... almost cheap * On lowest volume setting, it's still a little loud * Any adjustment to volume on parent monitor has loud response beeps (although this is solved by simply placing your hand over the speaker when adjusting volume.) That said, I feel this isn't a perfect model feature-wise, but it does work perfectly. I would recommend this for those who want a medium to low price point, private baby monitor without a lot of frills.
