I recieved this monitor as a shower gift, I had read the positive reviews and registered for it. Since the first time I used this monitor I have disliked it. You cannot take it around the house, it must be plugged in and have a battery in it, for it to work at all. The one I have works when it wants to, and there is alot of static. Also all of a sudden it will just turn to static, then the next day it may work again. I recommend NOT getting this monitor system.

My husband and I received this monitor for our baby shower. We selected this model because it had the two monitors and the price was resonable. Well I firmly believe you get what you pay for because this monitor does not hold a charge. We have to have the monitors plugged in at all times for it to work. The batteries just dont hold a charge. The reception is good but we can't unplug it and use it around the house. We wound up throwing it out and purchasing a new one. Don't waste you money on this monitor.

After reading many reviews on many different monitors we chose this monitor because it had mostly great reviews... We are so sorry we purchased this monitor now!Half the time all we can hear is a high pitch noise or static and nothing from our baby.. It works when it wants to.. We have tried moving the base and nothing helps. It is worthless. We are now debating on buying a new, more expensive monitor system.If you decide to purchase this monitor-save the box and paperwork so you can return it for a different one. You will be glad you did. We didn't and are regretting it!

This is unusable in our home because of too much static and other interference. It really threw us for a loop when we finally heard baby sounds coming thru the static ... while our child was feeding! We let our neighbors know right away to avoid any embarrassment.UPDATE: We upgraded to the Sony "Baby Call Nursery Monitor - 27 Channel" and it works beautifully... no static at all.

I received this as a shower gift off of my registry. It works well when the monitor is upstairs and I have the receivers downstairs. But when I have them on the same floor I have to have the volume up all the way and can barely hear my 3 month old son. I can hear the neighbors daughter loud and clear. I purchased another monitor and it works so much better.

This monitor worked well for the first week after our son was born but then began to only provide us with static noise or a loud whine instead of providing us the security we had thought we'd be getting. We played with the channels and even moved the receiver to a different location within the nursery but nothing has worked. All we basically have is a $30 night light. Very dissapointing.
