BT 150 Digital Baby Monitor

I had done a weeks worth of research before purchasing this baby monitor, and i have to say i am really impressed its a clear as a bell and really easy to set up we just plug in and go, the thermometer is slightly out but only by a degree, i have a grobag thermometer to compare this too. I can even hear my five month old sucking his fingers in the night which does amuse me and my partner. I havent needed to take the parent monitor off the base yet as we live in a flat so i am only using it at night time. We live in a flat and i was worried that this might pick up other monitors if they were in use, but they dont. This is well worth the money.

The best part about this is that it uses DECT for interference free sound wherever you are, no matter how many other transmitters there are in the vicinity. That said there are a lot of good features here, including a torch (that automatically mutes the speaker) and audio/visual/vibrate alerts. Mains/battery/rechargeable (base unit doesn't recharge), talkback, and much more. Been using it 3 months and it's doing a great job. Some days it might take a couple of times before it connects, but apart from that it's impeccable.

After having looked at both the BT 100 and 150 we went for the 150 as it had the thermometer. The thermometer is inaccurate and poorly responsive - I've compared it against 2 other thermometers. You'd be better off buying a seperate room thermometer. As for all the extra functions, It's early days, but I can't see we're ever going to use them! Sound quality and adjustable sensitivity functions are great but I suspect the BT 100 would do the job of 'baby monitoring' just as well.

We have this monitor for our second baby, and its predecessor for our first (3 storey house, 2 monitors required!) The sound quality & sensitivity is as good, however the battery doesnt seem to last as long on the parent unit. Also, occasionally it has been tempermental connecting to the baby unit. Overall, very good, glad we stuck with the same manufacturer.BT Digital Baby Monitor

We had a video monitor that we'd purchased with air points but its wireless connection was prone to terrible interference, meaning you could only use it without sound. This monitor has clear sound (we're in east london and do not experience any interference problems as others have), the parent unit is convenient to tote around and works well in the garden. The torch is a nice feature. Talkback is handy for the early evening feed where I'm in the nursery and other half is in the kitchen, but I drop one star for making the talk button too easy to hit - I'm terrified I'll accidentally hit it and wake the baby...
The lights that indicate sound level are a good touch, so that if you're using the parent unit in a noisy kitchen you can still see if there are stirrings from The Beast.
Temperature reading is useful, I notice one person has found it inaccurate but I think if you establish a baseline this will then tell you if you've got a sudden rise or fall.
Haven't used the lullabies or MP3 function - we have a CD player in the nursery for that.
NB first timers - would advise AGAINST video monitors - they make you hover too much!!
