Very unhappy with this. It won't work with any rechargable batteries I have, and normal batteries last a matter of hours before dying. One particularly terrible design feature (of many) is that, if you forget to switch the 'parent' unit on, then the baby unit switches itself off after a few minutes, meaning that you have to go back to switch it on and risk waking your baby. Oh, and after less that 6 months, one of the power supplies has just burnt out. Really bad.

I read that other people have had problem with this monior but we have used tomy monitors on all 3 of our kids and are currently using this one on our 7 month old and we have NEVER had problems. We have clear reception 24/7. It has the advantage of 2 settings, 1 you can have it turned on constantly or 2 where it will only come alive when your baby cries, it has multi volume levels and channels, as well as cry reacting lights and brilliant roaming range, we used that when our son was smaller and we had to nip out into the garden, no problems. In tomy we do trust and always will do, why pay stupid money when this does what you NEED and that is to hear your baby cry!

I bought this monitor approx 12 months ago and have put up with the interference ever since. When I switch it on, half the time it sounds loke an aircraft landing!! The noise it makes is awful! Changing channels to no avail, all you can do is wait one minute for it to stop. You can experience the same interference at any time during the day (not happened at night .. YET!)
Also another annoying "feature" is the fact that you have to switch on the parent monitor within 1 minute (or whatever the short time is) otherwise it loses its connection with the base monitor. End result is you have to wait until baby is fast asleep before tiptoeing back into the room and pressing the base monitor on again ... sigh.
I bought a BT digital baby monitor when number two baby came along recently. It was the same price, but the difference .. !! 100% better! I didn't know what crystal clear sound meant, until I bought the BT one. And rechargable batteries! I shall be purchasing a second BT monitor just as soon as I've finished this review!

This monitor keeps picking up other radio connections, it is very noisy all the time and keeps running out of batteries every 2-3 days making an annoying beep when it's near the end! Note that we do not keep it on batteries for long time. Probably 1-2 hours a day.
With the money I pay on batteries I could get a much nicer digital baby monitor with rechargable batteries.
In fact I will do so!

I've had this monitor for 4 weeks and I've decided that its so unreliable I'm going to have to get another one. Its range is terrible. We have an attic bedroom and our baby's bedroom is on the floor below and it still says its out of range! Unless you've got a house with no ceilings or walls, don't bother with this one!
