Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Receivers - White
Customer Review: Good sound for the year that it worked
Summary: 3 Stars
We have had this set for a little over a year and in our first smaller house it worked great for us. Once we moved we noticed that the reception got worse. Then one day one of the receivers stopped working. I switched batteries and it didn't make a difference so it died. A few months later the base station decided to stop working. This isn't the most expensive set but I was hoping that I could at least get a couple of years of use out of it.Customer Review: Not as good as I had hoped

We got this baby monitor as a gift for our baby shower for our first child. From the specs, it looked to have promise but all in all it was a bit disappointing. Now, at 17 months after we started using it, the unit is dead. Therefore, to celebrate its death, here are some pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Two receivers are very handy. We used one upstairs and one downstairs.
2. Range is decent and goes through walls.
3. Picks up sound well, at max volume, when the baby cries, you know it.
Cons:
1. Well, it only lasted 17 months. I would have liked to use it for our second child?
2. Staticky. Even though pro #3 is good, general sound quality is not great, so when the baby isn't crying, replace loud static.
3. Battery Life. Rechargable batteries are great but after a while they learned to stay alive for only 3-4 hours which meant plugging it in everywhere we went or wait for the annoying BEEPing sound when it started to run out of batteries.
Customer Review: Not worth the money

This monitor has bugged me after 6 months of use. Lots of static, random buzzing & now it just plain wont work! It did well showing the light gage of noises in my daughters room. When Im trying to sleep & the monitor is randomly buzzing its down right annoying. there shouldnt be a problem like the buzzing since my house is 1000sq ft & all other electronics in the house arent interfering. The battery life is really short so we had to keep it plugged in all the time. I figured buying an item over $50 it would be a solid piece of equipment but its junk to me & disapointing. Keep your receipt!Customer Review: Excellent Monitor!

We bought this monitor to use with our second child after having another Fisher-Price monitor for 4 + years with our first before it kicked the bucket. So far it's an excellent monitor. We live in a big, old farmhouse and although we have difficulty with reception using our cordless phones I have never had a problem with this monitor even outside the house. The range is great and I love that you get a warning beep (that you can't ignore) if you actually switch channels by accident or if your battery is running down.
It's crystal clear and charges well. You can also use the monitor while you are charging. I haven't had any problem with the battery "frying" like other reviewers have and I have left the monitor plugged in for days.
If this monitor lasts as long as our last Fisher Price did with the constant use I'll be very happy. I definitely recommend this monitor.
Customer Review: great range

We recently moved into a two story house. I bought this for my wife because we have a two year-old who still takes naps and hasn't quite mastered the art of going down stairs yet! My wife knows exactly when our little one is waking up. The receiver works everywhere throughout the house. She said that she can even hear her breathing. Also, she has taken the receiver with our oldest daughter down to the bus stop a couple times (which is a few houses down the block)and she could still hear what was going on! I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
