Safety 1st High-Def Digital Monitor

We're entirely satisfied with this monitor. NO problems with interference from cordless phones & wireless networks. The sound quality is very good- there's a bit of high-pitched hiss, but (as others have noted) we can hear the clock ticking in our daughter's room. The use of (easily-replaceable) AAA rechargeables is appreciated.

Finally, a baby monitor without static. This product is so much better than any of the analog monitors out there - especially for the price. The only drawback at all was the rechargeable battteries that came with it - they did not last very long between charges. But with one good set of rechargable batteries, it can be used for a long time.

We like this monitor a lot for a number of reasons. First, there is absolutely zero interference from phones, etc (why every new monitor on the market is not digital, I have no idea!). Next, it is sensitive enough to pick up nearly every sound, but the adjustable volume effectively allows you to choose just how much you hear. Finally, it looks reasonably cool - not a huge deal, but certainly helps.

Our one big gripe is that there is no audible warning sound when the battery on the parent unit dies. This is not a problem as long as you keep it plugged in. But on a few occasions now (when we were sleep deprived) we forgot to plug it back in during the middle of the night and awoke to a dead monitor, thus inspiring a mad dash down the hall to check on baby. The manufacturer could easily have built an audible warning beep that signaled that the battery was on its last leg. They did manage to do this with a visual warning signal (the light changes color) - but that is not terribly useful when you're sleeping!

Other than this flaw, this really is a very good monitor. Just remember to plug in your parent unit if you use it while you're sleeping.

I'm telling you, after 4 other monitors that just did not work, this one is fantastic. No reception problems anywhere in the house or yard. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that when the power goes out, the parent unit starts beeping. Plus, you have to manually turn unit back on when power is restored. But that being said, this is by far the best monitor we have ever had. You won't have to better one for the money, plus it is rechargable that lasts all night. We've had ours for a year now with no problems. It works in large condo buildings at the beach really well also.

I'm not usually one to take the time to write a review, but i just have to share how great this monitor is!
I was in the same thoughts as alot of other parents were- "i should get the graco imonitor because it's digital and graco and cool and i will not have any interference and it has a 2000' range"- So wrong! i bought the imonitor before the baby was born and tried it out and it failed miserably. we live in a typically sized suburban neighborhood lot and it barely made it to the end of our driveway without beeping out of service:(

So i returned it to target and got the Safety 1st, admittedly doubtful about it's quality bc it wasn't a "popular" name brand. But this monitor is awesome! For me, it goes about 4 houses over (probably abour 450') and is perfectly clear. i sometimes have to check to make sure it's still on- it is just that quiet. yes, the light on the baby monitor does blink when you have the parent monitor off, but i just put my baby monitor on the opposite side of his room (about 12' away) and i can still hear him perfectly clearly on the second volume level.

buy this monitor!! you will love it!!
