Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT Baby Monitor with Temperature and Humidity Sensors, White/Blue

Customer Review: Clear Transmission, Secure and "Walkie-Talkie" Fun"
Summary: 5 Stars

We have a 10 week old baby and used this monitor from day 1 with ease and delight.

The Run Down
1 Base Unit (for baby's room), 1 Portable Unit (for parents or caregivers), 1 Travel Case (for the much needed vacation that I won't be taking any time soon), 1 Quick Start Guide with pictures only and 1 more in-depth written manual. The monitor comes with a base unit that is placed in the baby's room and a portable, hand-held unit that can easily be carried with you. Both units are very small and sleek. The base unit features a soft glowing night light, displays temperature and humidity, plays 5 lullabies and, of course, is also a baby monitor. The hand-held unit is also able to transmit sound to the base unit when you hold down the "walkie-talkie" button on the side, also displays temperature and humidity of baby's room, comes with a belt clip, a wrist strap and a battery charger base.

Functionality
The monitor works extremely well. Not only is your connection secure and private, but the range is also awesome. I'm sure that I'll never use this monitor to leave my baby unattended while I go for a stroll, but it's good to know that it would work well if I lived in a huge mansion with adjoining gardens.

The temperature reading is very accurate, and I feel comfortable saying that the humidity "feels" accurate since I have no other gadgets to officially confirm. At first, I was a little skeptical about needing a humidity reader, but upon further research, I found that humidity control is quite important for our baby's health. The optimal humidity level for overall healthy air ranges from between 25% to 55%. With that said, the humidity reader let me know that I didn't need to run the humidifier as often as I was, thereby making my house less of a target for mold and bacteria while saving a little bit of energy (mother nature thanks you, AVENT.)

The lullaby feature is a nice touch, but produce a fairly rudimentary electronic sound. Of course, this is coming from a musician, so take it for what it's worth. My standards are high. There are 5 lullabies that can be played once, after one another (play all), or you can choose to play one lullaby 5 times in a row. The lullabies are operated from the base/infant unit, and it would be nice to be able to control the lullabies from the parent unit.

The "walkie-talkie" feature, or intercom talk back, is an awesome feature. When you push the "talk" button on the hand-held parent unit and speak into it, you are able to communicate with the base unit. Note that the "talk" button must be held down for the entire time that you're talking, otherwise, you will not be heard in the other room. I use the feature to verbally soothe my baby as I am on my way to rescue him from poopie diapers. More often than not, he's no longer crying by the time I make my way up the stairs. Hearing Mommy's voice lets him know that help is on the way, which really does comfort my little guy.

Pros:
Clear transmission and excellent range
ECO mode that saves energy when monitoring from short distances
Extremely portable - small, sleek and light units
Monitor indicates noise by sound and via LED lights
Comes with padded carrying case for travel
Rechargeable batteries (love this feature)
Parent unit locator


Cons:
Only one handheld unit - it would be nice to have two handheld units to keep in different rooms, but because of the portability of the handheld unit, not that much of a con.
The base unit has to be within 3 feet of the baby in order to function properly.
Expensive, but you get what you pay for...quality = higher price


Overall, this monitor is a great monitor, and I highly recommend it. Have fun with the intercom talk back feature. Ten-four, over and out.
