Good Monitor

This monitor worked out very well in my home. I never had any problem with this monitor as far as not being able to hear my child or having the vibration brake (my husband used it often with the vibration mode on). It did somewhat eat up the batteries if used remote frequently or with the vibration mode on (a cell phone will do the same if in the vibrate mode). On an occassion or two it did pick up whole phone conversations (when my neighbor used a cordeless phone)in my immediate area. We just switched channels. It is a monitor that uses frequencies so if you think about it, it really shouldn't be unexpected to have run into this problem a time or two. If it happened more often and you couldn't change channels I could see switching to a 2.4 or something. The only time it became a problem to own this monitor is when we moved. The only thing I could get was static. However, I moved to a new development where homes are still being built which may or may not have something to do with the problem. I also moved across country and had a moving company pack some of our belongings. It's very possible it just got damaged in the move. I would definately say this monitor is worth buying and trying out. It is possible it may not work out for you due to cordless phone or other baby monitor use in your area or that the unit could be defective when bought as with any monitor you buy.

terrible static no matter where it is

I have used a fisher price monitor for years and it was o.k. We needed another monitor for second child and purchased this one during a vacation. It was awful. We could not get clear reception no matter where we put it. I took the monitor home after vacation and it still didn't work well in our home. Yes, we could hear the baby but the static was unbearable to listen to.

Great Monitor

Really like this monitor. Good sound, very little interference. The lights and vibration mode help when I'm unable to hear. Goes through batteries quickly, so we leave it plugged in whenever possible. Definitely recommend this product.
