Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Receivers - White
Customer Review: I LOVE this monitor!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this monitor!! It really picks up the tiniest sounds - as I sit here writing this, I have the monitor volume turned down to half-strength, and I can hear the clock ticking in the nursery (which is on the opposite side of the room from the receiver and is not that loud in person). The range is awesome - I was able to walk across the street and sit inside my neighbor's house, and I still had half the bars on signal strength and could still hear the clock clearly.
The lights are really convenient because if I am watching a movie and have the monitor turned down (to avoid hearing the ticking clock) I can have a clear visual on whether my daughter is making noise in her nursery. The lights are as sensitive as the sound, but are not too harsh that they light up a whole room at night.
The battery life is great, and it beeps when the battery gets low to remind you to plug it in.
The only problem I have had with it is that if you have the monitor in your hand and you walk too close to the receiver, it makes a terrible noise (due to interference of the signal) - but since there are 2 receivers, and the volume and sensitivity are so incredible, it is easy to avoid. We keep one upstairs and one downstairs and it works perfect. I would recommend this to ANY new mom - there is no need for a video monitor (you'll never watch it, or you'll spend WAAAAY too much time watching it) - this gives you the visual you want with the lights, and the sensitivity that you need to make sure your baby is safe and sound.
Customer Review: Started buzzing after 18 months
Summary: 3 Stars
We purchased the Fisher Price Private Connection monitor because of its long range and rechargeable battery. As a whole, we have been very pleased with it. The reception is incredible (we can pick up our neighbors talking outside), the range is great (we've used it in several different multi-level houses, in hotels from a room or two away, and from our neighbor's house when our son was home at our house), and though the charge on the receiver batteries no longer gets us through the night, it lasts from his bedtime until ours and we can plug them in / charge them while we sleep. We've had the occasional problem with static, but what monitor doesn't?
However, after 18 months of use (and not abuse, I might add), they now pick up a background buzzing noise. It seems that the transmitter is the culprit here - both receivers pick it up, it has nothing to do with the location or the channel. It's loud enough that the first light on the receiver is always illuminated, and there is no way I can sleep with it on. They are still functional if you don't mind the noise or are only using this during the day. I expected a longer life from something I paid $70 for.
Customer Review: Does what it is supposed to do
Summary: 5 Stars
I was satisfied with the Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Receivers - White. I found the lights on the front of the receivers to be much more useful than I would have thought. We have a large 2 story house with the nursery upstairs on one end of the house and a theater room/game room in the basement. No matter where in the house I am, I never lose more than 1 bar of signal. And when I do feel like gaming or watching a movie late, I can turn the volume down on the receivers and be able to tell if there is noise coming from the nursery by the lights on the front of the reciever lighting up. An additional note, we have wireless internet and all phones in house are wireless, and I notice very little, IF ANY, static over the receivers. The only thing I regret about buying these is that we wouldn't have needed 2 receivers and could have got by no problem with one receiver.Customer Review: Snap, Crackle, Pop
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought this baby monitor to hear our toddler daughter call us in the night if she needed us. We had an old Safety that we used for 5 years but as it aged, it became more static-y. My husband wanted one that had a privacy feature so I picked this up. He immediately commented that the 900MHZ frequency really wouldn't give us privacy but would try it out.
This baby monitor worked for a few weeks but then the receiver would start to "pop" loud static sounds. First it started around 4am in the morning but then progressed into all hours of the night randomly. My husband thought maybe it was picking up wireless or X10 signals... Whatever the reason, these receivers are useless to use at night and will have to be used only during day use for my younger child's naps.
Customer Review: LOVE THIS!
Summary: 5 Stars
i dont understand why all these ppl are writing neg reviews. we live in a house with a finished basement and havent had any issues with this monitor. my son is going on 3 yrs old. im buying another set for my twins bc i loved how sensitive this monitor was, i could hear him breathing! also i have walked across my street to the neighbors house while my son was napping and had NO problems even in her house! i have the old white monitor and love the upgrades to the grey one. it CLEARLY says in the instructions to not leave it plugged into the AC adapter for longer then 10 hrs bc it will burn out the rechargable battery. this monitor is meant to be portable, u charge it, then use. so if your monitor has gone "BAD" chances are its by your own doing and not a faulty monitor.
