Excellent baby monitor, but still needs more work
This is overall a great unit. It replaced my Fisher Price monitors and First Year Monitors. Its a terrific unit, with these highlights:
– Terrific sound quality and range. Definitely the pick of the litter and replaces all other units.
– I love the feature of sound sensitivity. Our last unit would pick up ever little sound. This one just picks up the sound when our daughter gets really upset and cries.
– Accessories. More flexibility for you if you want belt clips or lanyards to carry these.
These are the caveats that Philips stills needs to improve.
– Build quality of the plastic seems low. It actually feels like the same as my Apple Mighty Mouse, but I guess the mouse weighs more so it feels of higher quarability.
– Batteries. If you follow the instructions on first charging the units, you have no problems. I have read other comments about them and made sure to fully charge and discharge my units 4 times before even thinking about taking them offline. I havent had any trouble since then.
– Can you add more Parentel units than just the two? Philips’ website and documentation isn’t very clear on this. I think you can, but I can’t purchase a Parental unit seperately. Please Philips give us the option as I want a unit in a few more rooms!
Overall, highly recommended product and is worth the extra money though.
