Baby Products Reviews of Graco Digital imonitor Mini Baby Monitor in White

Customer Review: Good monitor for active parents
Summary: 4 Stars

I've been using this monitor for 16 months now, and so far there is no other monitor that I think would fit my active lifestyle as well. My review boils down to this: if you're active, you might want to consider this monitor.

I'm a stay a home dad, avid gardener, and carpenter. When my baby takes his mid-morning to afternoon nap it's time for me to garden, landscape, exercise or remodel the house.

I need a baby monitor with only 4 features:
1) a real life range of about 250 feet (that's the length of our lot)
2) alerts that work even if I'm mowing or using power tools
3) is small enough not to get in the way
4) has a rechargeable battery that lasts at least 6 hours

Other gimmicks aren't important to me although I do use the monitor base station as our nursery's night light.

This monitor is probably the smallest on the market, and I usually wear it around my neck on the included lanyard. There are no antennas or bulk to get in the way. If I don't want it jostling about, I wear it under my shirt. This also makes it easier to feel the vibrate function during the winter months when I'm bundled up.

The vibrate function allows me to feel the alert if I'm wearing earplugs while operating loud machinery (even a jackhammer).

When I exercise indoors, I don't like wearing the monitor so I place it beside me where I can see its alert lights.

We live in a brick house, and the range is adequate for us, meaning that it starts to break up at around 250 feet. It works when I'm on the roof, in the basement, or the back of the back yard. The only place it didn't work well was when I was digging a 5 foot deep trench for a waterline. I had to keep it above ground level.

The internal lithium ion battery works for about 8 hours per charge, but this probably varies depending on how loud the volume is set. When the battery wears out (hasn't happened yet), it can be replaced which is nice.

Another nice thing is that it has pretty good circuitry to prevent feedback if you take the parent unit into the same room as the base station.

My only criticism was that our first parent unit started having too much static after about 4 months. I called Graco, and they provided excellent customer service by sending me a new one. I suspect that either there was a quality control problem or that the parent unit wasn't designed for one of the following: getting knocked around or sucked on by our baby, getting swung around by the lanyard, or being exposed to humidity when I gardened in the rain or showered (I used to hang it on a hook in the shower, now I leave it by the bathroom sink).

The only improvements for this monitor would be to make it more durable (perhaps waterproof or resistant) and make the base station turn back on in the event the power goes out (or someone accidentally flips the wrong breaker when working on the house's electrical system).

If you only want or need a basic monitor that works and doesn't get in the way, then this might be a good choice.
