Crackles and Cuts Out!,
This monitor has several great features–my favorite is the ability to communicate from the parent’s unit to the baby’s unit. The sound clarity is great and it is small and portable. However, the thing crackles all the time! Our baby is just in the next room–literally on the other side of the wall, so it’s not out of range. It also cuts out at least every 4 or 5 minutes. Sometimes it’s out of communication for several seconds at a time. Occasionally, it cuts out for longer and I have to move or shake it to get the sound back. It is especially crackley when I’m running the dishwasher, the washing machine, the microwave, etc. So annoyed.

|Horrible product! Don’t bother.,
I can only assume that first years does absolutely no product testing before they release a product. There isn’t much in my house that doesn’t interfere with the signal. From the wi-fi to the microwave to the vacuum cleaner, everything causes it to loose reception. So, if you live in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere with no appliances or anything else that runs on electricity, then this is the monitor for you. If not, I suggest buying a different product.

|Doesn’t Deliver…,
Bought this monitor for the wide range of features and the purported range.
The positive:
Like the two way intercom feature – helpful when one of us is with the baby and we need something from downstairs.
Nice design – well, it looks nice – but button configuration and placement could be better (see below)
Rechargable battery holds a decent charge
Con:
Really crappy sound from the transmitter – almost have to hold it up to your ear to discern anything.
Poor sound filtering – picks up the humidifier fine, but not the babies cries.
Lousy, lousy, lousy range. Wanted something that would let me leave the house and wander the back yard a bit while the baby is sleeping. This isn’t it.
Button configuration is confusing. Nothing is clearly labeled and I have to study the unit every time I want to turn it up, turn it off, or use any of the buttons on it.
Volume control – pathetic.
