Summary: Easy to use, sensitive, may buzz a little
Comment: I'm very impressed by the audio on this unit. You can really hear the smallest noise, even a clock ticking in a different room than the transmitter!

I also bought this unit because both the transmitter and receiver can be AC powered or battery powered, so it's versatile as to where you can use it.

The only downside is if you try to sleep with this on, the audio tends to get buzzy sometimes, some sort of interference. Moving or reorienting the receiver seems to help, but it's a pain to have to fiddle with it. Seems like with some digital signal processing or digital tuning that could be eliminated, but then again this is not an expensive unit so I don't expect miracles.

Summary: Crackly all the time
Comment: Just ok. You can hear the baby, but its crackly and makes static noise ALL The time. Id pay more for something that will last and work more effectively

Summary: Nothing but static
Comment: Horrible monitor!!! All I could hear was static!!! I would NOT recommend this monitor to anyone. I had a Safety 1st monitor before and it was great. I don't know if they changed it within the last 2 years, but I was NOT happy with this one.

Summary: Safety first monitor
Comment: I really like this monitor. It picks up the littlest sounds. I feel okay leaving my baby in another room now that I can always hear her. Even when she's just moving in her bed it picks up that sound. I haven't tried taking it outide though, so I'm not sure how that would work. For the price this is a great monitor. Don't need the expensive types.

Summary: Unacceptable loud humming / interference noises
Comment: We bought several of these, and we've used them exclusively for the past year and two months. No matter what arrangement we use, we get terrible humming interference. Every time I turn on the receiver, I twist it this way and that way, trying to find a position that will make the interference less. It is bad enough that it annoys us with anything we do (TV watching... sleeping... a constant annoyance.)

Unfortunately, to be sure I hear my son's cries (and that they wake me up) I typically have to turn the volume way up, which means I've had to get used to sleeping with fairly loud humming noises.

I was more or less resigned to this, and thought little of it, until my brother, who is an electrical engineer, visited the house the other day and said that this level of humming was unacceptable -- that engineers know very well how to make devices that won't pick up extra signals like this, and that the product is simply a poorly engineered piece. He did a few tests to ensure that there isn't some strange background noise in my house -- there isn't. It's the monitor that is badly made.

One feature of the monitors, by the way, is that you can unplug them and walk around with them using battery power. (The hum gets a bit louder when I do this...) Thus, I can go for trips to the basement, etc., without worry, using this monitor, and then I plug it back into its power source as soon as I'm back, to save the batteries.

Now that I know the humming need not be there, I'm going out to buy a competitor's model!

So, go elsewhere for your monitor.
