Reviewer: Mr. Ravi Doshi, london
there is no doubt in thee price range this is a very good model, its clear, battery life once charged is several hours and the reception & distance is superb.

There is 1 big problem, i am on my 4th one now since they all sometimes go bonkers and the signal nevers reaches the parent unit, thus rendering it void. Lukcy its got 2 years warranty so i have had it replaced more than once. i now have a working one so i am happy.

This monitor should be removed from the market. Despite reading mixed reviews, I bought this product and paid alot more than other monitors on the market. As soon as I plugged it in, the reception seemed fine, until the white noise, the interference started and increased hour after hour until the monitor was useless. This took only 3 hours! We have walkabout phones and there is not a problem with any of them - we are not under a flight path, not near an electricity pilon etc so there is no reason for them not to work. I have phoned the Tomy helpline and did everything they said to do, and it still is unuseable. Listen to other reviews on here and DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Monitor designed to wake your baby and drive you mad

Reviewer: JoW, Cirencester, UK
Had to post a review today after another night of being woken up by this monitor. Bought one about 3 years ago, which broke and then was replaced. The new one is no better:
1) Beeps loudly when you put the handset in the cradle (which wakes me when my husband comes to bed)
2) Connection between the parent unit and cradle dodgy, so unless you wiggle it to make sure it's connected, it starts beeping at 4:30am that it's running out of battery
3) Seems to beep loudly either once or about 6 times when you take the handset off the cradle for no apparent reason. Only started doing this in the last 4 months or so.
4) Random interference means that it hisses loudly as I take it past my son's bedroom as he's trying to settle to sleep. Also means that we have to move it around the lounge floor until we can find somewhere that the hiss isn't louder than the telly. (No amount of changing channel fixes this either.)

In summary I would think that 2 cups either end of a piece of string would be more satisfactory.
Not Impressed

Reviewer: K. Stone,
We bought this monitor before our baby was born based on the fact that it's the one you see everywhere so assumed it must be one of the best. We have been very disappointed with it for a number of reasons. 1. Bad interferance, it sounds like a plane taking off or a police siren! 2. The 2 units constantly loose connection with each other and so turn off. Not really what you want in the middle of the night but.....3. You end up turning it off in the night anyway so the interference stops waking you up. 4. The battery doesn't last through the night. I could go on but on the plus side, the night light is good!
Not that good

This baby monitor has interference and sometimes does not pick up my baby crying even though it shows the temperature in the room, I would not recommend it and am away to buy a replacement after only 9 weeks of using it.
