Baby Products Reviews of Safety 1st Crystal Clear Baby Monitor, White
Customer Review: Terrible!
Summary: 1 Stars
We thought this monitor was great at first. A month later we were having trouble with the receiver. It would get so much static that you couldn't stand it. You would have to literally squeeze the receiver to keep it from giving you static, and nothing else. Then, finally, the cord to the receiver stopped working. We were going through basically a battery every two nights. We still haven't found anything to replace it. Luckily our son's room is directly across from ours, so we just leave his door open now. We bought a replacement of the same type when it first started acting up, thinking that it was just the one we had. The replacement didn't work at all. So, we'll be searching for a new one in a different brand.Customer Review: Volume way too sensitive, too much static
Summary: 1 Stars
I've tried 4 different baby monitors (hand me downs from friends or from my baby shower) and this was the worst. The volume dial is so sensitive that one slight movement up, and I'm waking up to her turning over because it's so loud and a smidge downward and I couldn't hear her screaming (yeah, the worst feeling!). I even tried to mark the dial with a permanent marker to mark where the 'perfect' volume was, but even with that to help me, I found I couldn't trust that I had hit the perfect spot every time. Just because of that, I ended up throwing them away. I bought it for $20 at Target but it's not even worth that money. Also, there was a lot of static in the sound which was more annoying than deal-breaking.
Customer Review: Easy to use, sensitive, may buzz a little
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm very impressed by the audio on this unit. You can really hear the smallest noise, even a clock ticking in a different room than the transmitter!
I also bought this unit because both the transmitter and receiver can be AC powered or battery powered, so it's versatile as to where you can use it.
The only downside is if you try to sleep with this on, the audio tends to get buzzy sometimes, some sort of interference. Moving or reorienting the receiver seems to help, but it's a pain to have to fiddle with it. Seems like with some digital signal processing or digital tuning that could be eliminated, but then again this is not an expensive unit so I don't expect miracles.
Customer Review: Fantastic. No Problems. Wide Range. Well worth the money.
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this as a gift at our baby shower two years ago. I am very glad we did. This is almost a MUST have for babies. The range is fantastic. I can be outside watching my two year old while my baby sleeps. I know that I will be able to hear her. Not only is the range great but it also picks up the smallest sounds, I hear my baby rolling over in her crib when this is on. As an added bonus, I have not found this to be a battery eater.
In my opinion having a moniter is not the most important thing to have if you are having a baby. However, it is one of the more useful things if you want to have some measure of freedom while the baby is napping or if your child sleeps clear across the house from where you sleep.
Customer Review: AN OK MONITOR UNTIL THE ELECTRICITY GOES OFF
Summary: 2 Stars
Tjis monitor has some static around microwaves and phones, but over all the clarity is clear. BUT one night while baby and I were sleeping and when I woke up I realized the electricity had been off for who know how long and no sound came from the monitorm luckily the baby was ok.This monitor has battery but when the reciever is pluged into the outlet and the power goes off the monitor does also. You would think that the battery power would kick in but it doesn't it goes completely dead.So if you want to buy a 9volt battery every day so you doh't have to worry about the electricity failing, then this monitor is ok. However I am going to look for another monitor with back up battery power.Any suggestions????
