Customer Reviews

LOVE this!
This is an absolutely brilliant product and such good value!

The features I rate most highly are:

- Most importantly, the sound quality is excellent, crystal clear with very little of the static I've noticed with other monitors (have previously had Tomy and Tommee Tippee), and in addition to this it has a function that allows you to have it on continous or noise activated only so you can choose how 'sensitive' you want it to be.

- The temperature of the baby's room is clearly displayed on the parent unit - very useful.

- The parent unit is rechargable meaning you wont have to pay out for lots of batteries and/or be forced to keep it plugged in to the mains.

- It is quick and easy to set up and has alarms to warn you when you're out of range or the battery is low.

- And an added bonus is that the baby unit is very attractive, the on/off switches look like angel wings and the halo is a night light!

All in all I am delighted with this, I think its the best you can buy for the price, I would definitley recommend it to expectant friends, in fact I would seriously consider buying it as a gift for them! Very impressed!

Solid, well performing monitors
We bought these at the recommendation of a friend and they have proven their worth so far.

The build quality of the units is really good and they have already withstood a few rough falls with no ill effect. My main concern with monitors is the quality of the sound and these score pretty highly in that department. The sound is very clear and displays no interference at all.

In addition the halo on the transmitter unit is a night light that offers just the right amount of light.

These monitors offer pretty basic specificiations, the only real extra is the temperature gauge (which incidentally doesn't display on the transmitter unit) but the basic feature set is solid and that is really all that we could ask of them. Your not going to open the box and be blown away by some fancy extar feautre but in my experience they offer everything you really need.
