Comment:
I gave it for a granchild. I will locate a better one for him. I also was looking for a 3-4 unit home intercom but you do not test them and you should. They are much more useful for a busy family.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
We have been very pleased with this baby monitor which we purchased with the birth of our fourth child as we needed two since our last child was only 2 and still in a crib. There is absolutely no static on this machine and the range is fantastic. We felt that the maximum volume was a little low when the baby was very small (before 3 months) but her lungs are stronger now and we have no desire to hear every time she turns over in her bed now anyways. We love the talk feature to speak to our 3 year old in the night to remind her it is still sleep time. If we needed another monitor, we would buy this one again. I can't say that for any other monitor we have owned (and we have had 4 others of various brands over the years).

Listening For My Baby
Comment:
We've used the product for over a year now for our first child and have no complaints, which says a lot bc I typically find something in a product to complain about. The range is outstanding, the battery lasts longer than I'd expect, and the sensitivity is excellent. I almost didn't buy this unit bc I heard consistent complaints about its low volume and the need for the baby to shriek before it kicks on. I don't share either concern. The volume is a little low but entirely adequate unless you have a lawnmower running in your living room. As far as the baby needing to make a loud sound before the unit turns on, this is easily avoided by keeping the sensitivity all the way up. We do this and have found the unit to be extremely sensitive and the battery life totally adequate. I'm completely satisfied with this product.
