I started using this monitor on 4/30/02 and on 8/13/02, it died. It started making all kinds of high pitch squeals. It is bad enough that after 3 1/2 months it breaks, but at 11PM. I would not spend the money on this…

We bought several of these, and we’ve used them exclusively for the past year and two months. No matter what arrangement we use, we get terrible humming interference. Every time I turn on the receiver, I twist it this way and that way, trying to find a position that will make the interference less. It is bad enough that it annoys us with anything we do (TV watching… sleeping… a constant annoyance.)
Unfortunately, to be sure I hear my son’s cries (and that they wake me up) I typically have to turn the volume way up, which means I’ve had to get used to sleeping with fairly loud humming noises.
I was more or less resigned to this, and thought little of it, until my brother, who is an electrical engineer, visited the house the other day and said that this level of humming was unacceptable — that engineers know very well how to make devices that won’t pick up extra signals like this, and that the product is simply a poorly engineered piece. He did a few tests to ensure that there isn’t some strange background noise in my house — there isn’t. It’s the monitor that is badly made.
One feature of the monitors, by the way, is that you can unplug them and walk around with them using battery power. (The hum gets a bit louder when I do this…) Thus, I can go for trips to the basement, etc., without worry, using this monitor, and then I plug it back into its power source as soon as I’m back, to save the batteries.
Now that I know the humming need not be there, I’m going out to buy a competitor’s model!
So, go elsewhere for your monitor.

We had actually gotten this monitor for free through a promotional offer at Babies R Us. I was skeptical at first because it was free, but once we got it home it worked great! A little bit of static, but nothing compared to our other monitor.
We had an expensive montior before this that had TONS of static and threw it right in the back of their closet once we got this one!
