Baby Products Reviews of Safety 1st Crystal Clear Baby Monitor, White
Customer Review: I want a different one!
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this monitor as a gift, so it was basically free. I HATE it though, it eats through batteries like crazy. I have to change it every three to four days, and we really don't use the battery option much. It stays plugged in all night long. It's full of static and the volume control is difficult to manipulate. I like to have it turned down really low so I can only hear my two month old wake up, I don't want to hear his snoring or breathing all night long. But there is no in between setting, it's either turned up all the way, or down too low to hear crying. It is flimsy and difficult to get the receiver to stand alone (it tends to fall over). I want to spend the money and purchase a better unit, that's why I'm browsing the internet for monitors right now.
Customer Review: Ours Broke Within 1 month of owning it
Summary: 1 Stars
We were given this monitor as a baby shower gift. It worked great for the first month, but now the transmitter (baby's end) does not work. We keep our end plugged into an AC outlet at all times. The lack of portability aspect makes this monitor a not good choice. Other reviews mention great reception, but we never got a great reception. The static that ours picked up often made it very hard to hear our daughter. The monitor gives you different channel options but both were staticy... even if the parent's end was a room away. I ended up getting a 900MHz monitor because it had a greater distance that it worked. I often mow the lawn or rake leaves while my daughter is sleeping so I needed it to have a larger radius that it worked.Customer Review: Fantastic inexpensive monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this monitor to put in our bedroom because that is where our baby is sleeping until she is sleeping through the night and can go into the room with her older sister. I just wanted an inexpensive monitor to get us by until she was moved into her sister's room with our video monitor. This monitor turned out to be so much better than I expected. It picks up the slightest of noises, has been completely clear and we get great reception all over our house (upstairs and down) and outside. I can even hear the clock ticking through the monitor!!! I like it so much I'm going to purchase another one for our guest room downstairs so that I can nap the baby down there when I'm playing with my toddler downstairs. Great monitor for the price!Customer Review: Price the only redeeming factor
Summary: 1 Stars
Except for the fact that this is priced really low, I could not find any other reason for getting this monitor. It was a good thing that we got it as a gift. After using it, we thought of keeping our Fisher Price monitor in the registry.Some of the problems with this monitor are:
- generally flimsy construction.
- lack of a clip or a flat base on both receiver and monitor. Makes it really difficult to place it somewhere.
- because of the level of white noise you have to keep the volume up quite high
- since there is no visual indicator of the noise level, you have no option but to listen to the hissing and strain hard to hear if it was your baby crying.
I think the Fisher Price models are a much better option.
Customer Review: one word....STATIC!
Summary: 1 Stars
The only good thing that I have to say about this monitor is that it was cheap, now I know why! It does pick up every little sound your baby makes, it's just hard to hear it through all the static. Maybe I have too much interference from all the other electrical gadgets in my house, (i.e. T.V., receiver, cordless phones, computer, etc.) but I would have to get the receiver in just the right position night after night to get it to work, only to be woken up half way through to try to reposition it because the static is back. Finally, the last straw was that after a couple of months it started to have an annoying whine that accompanied the static. I am taking it back and spending the extra $10 or $20 to get a monitor that works!
