Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Receivers - White
Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
We love this! We had read reviews prior to purchasing that complained of cross-connections, but we have not experienced that since there are so many channels. Works so well and has red lights for the visual checks as well as the audio checks on the baby. Wonderful and easy to use! Customer Review: Excellent range, overall great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this monitor for four months and am very happy with it. It's easy to use and it doesn't interfere with my cordless phones or wireless network. It does pick up some static when we use the microwave, but it's not horrible. I was really surprised when I took one of the receivers outside to do yard work and realized I could go anywhere in the yard (which is over an acre) and still get reception, even with the base unit inside the house. It warns you if the reception is lost, which is also smart. The rechargeable batteries last a long time and you can plug it in while using it too. I do believe there is a design flaw though -- why is the channel button so big and in such a prominent spot? It seems to me you just set that once and then never touch it again, so the placement of that button seems odd to me. But overall it's a great product, no complaints.
UPDATE: one of the receivers quit working after four months of use. I called FP and they are sending a new one. Since it was a shower gift I didn't have a receipt showing the purchase date so I was expecting them to give me a hard time. Happily, they didn't seem to need it, which is impressive. Very good customer service. So I guess I'm still happy with this product.
Customer Review: read if you plan on using the AC adapter!
Summary: 2 Stars
Monitor itself works fine -- but not if you plan on using the AC adapter.....
Fisher Price customer service recommends that the AC adapter should not be plugged into the reciever for more than 13 hours at a time or the rechargeable battery and/or unit will be damaged. In my mind that makes the product useless if you intend on using the AC adapter -- you'll have to remember to unplug it every morning or risk wrecking the thing! (the fisher price rep actually told me I'd "fry it").

AWESOME MONITOR, NO PROBLEMS YET SO FAR !!!!Customer Review: Best Monitor on the Market
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I have 3 children ages 3 and under so we've got baby monitors all over the house. We've used I think in total 5 differet models from 4 different manufacturers including Fisher-Price, Graco, Summer, and Sony. We've used both audio/video and audio only. This Fisher-Price model is by far the best we've used.
- Range. We have approximately 1500 sqft on the floor where we sleep. Our bedroom is on the opposite end of the floor as the youngest baby's room. Other receives either didn't pickup at all or when they did they were full of static and background noise so much so that there was a continual hissing of static that we had to constantly endure. This receiver can be set at a very low volume so that background noises are almost silent but the baby can still be easily heard.
- Rechargable. With the other monitor receivers it was a hassle to move from room to room. You have to unplug the receiver and find somewhere else to plug it in. One of the other models did offer a battery backup but we didn't use it for fear of going through batteries all the time. This receiver has a built in rechargable battery. Unplug it and take it with you. When you're done plug it back in and it charges and is ready for the next use.
We're very pleased not only with the quality but also with the price. Amazon's price was nearly $30 less than Babies R Us.
