Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Receivers - White
Customer Review: Horrible
Summary: 1 Stars
This monitor has been nothing but trouble for us. The battery life is terrible. It can charge all day, and by 5am, it is beeping from low battery already! The beeping is so scary the first few times you hear it! My daughter has been sleeping 9 hours since she was 2 1/2 weeks old, and the monitor's battery didn't last as long as she did. I had to get up and change the monitor to the other one that was charging. Ridiculous!Now we are having problems getting them to turn on. My daughter is only 11 weeks old, so the monitors are fairly new. We have to turn them on and off about 15-20 times before they will turn on. If you are shopping around for monitors, I would suggest a different one. Good luck!Customer Review: This is an ok product
Summary: 3 Stars
This monitor set is ok. We got our unit on sale at Target. It gets three stars because the cons outweigh the pros and this unit could function a little better.
Cons-
Too much static on every channel. We have no other devices in the house on the same frequency as the monitor and all of the channels have static. Our house is only 932 square feet and baby's room is next to our room. This unit shouldn't be struggling with static.
The battery life of the receivers is terrible. Even though the instructions say not to leave the receivers plugged in all the time, this is the only way to make it through the night without them quitting on us. This doesn't speak well of the dependability of the receivers.
The receivers have a nice green backlight so you can see the screen in the dark but the backlight doesn't stay on long enough to be useful (like at 2:30am when you start getting too much static and need to switch channels and you don't want to turn on every light in the house so that you can see the screen).
The receivers are big and bulky, though better than a lot of other products out there.
Pros-
The monitor actually picks ups breathing sounds from the baby, even if there are other noises in the room such as music. It's nice to know that they made this product extra sensitive to baby's noises.
The unit is easy to operate out of the box and the controls are easy to understand and use.
Shop around a little bit more and look at the rest of the reviews on this site. There is a really good review that outlines what frequencies your different electronic devices should be on (your wireless network, cordless phones, etc).
Customer Review: Irratic out of the box
Summary: 1 Stars
Maybe we got a lemon, but out of the box this monitor acted irratic. The primary concern is with the base. When it displays the channel, it's working. But sometimes we have to unplug it for quite some time to get the base to work. And when the base doesn't work, the receivers sound like a weather alarm. Not fun at 3 am. I checked Fisher Price web page and it didn't mention a problem exactly like ours.
We are going to return it for another brand.
Customer Review: Great Monitor!
Summary: 5 Stars
We love this monitor. We haven't had any problem with it buzzing or having static like our last monitor. We made a great decision to purchace this monitor.Customer Review: It is just OK
Summary: 3 Stars
I have this monitor for my 4th child. It works fine when I am downstairs, but in my room (which is 60ft from her room) I get a lot of clicking noises. I am not happy with it and will be returning it for a different brand!
