Following are select comments from a few of the 149 (of 909 total) reviewers who didn’t like the baby monitor I was thinking about buying on amazon.com but now won’t. It seems that the device’s signal-out-of-range beep feature is a mite overeager:
- My heart harbors a burning inferno of hatred for this device. I want it destroyed, burnt, reassembled, repaired, refurbished, and then destroyed and burnt again, just to satisfy my hatred for it.
- Just buy an alarm clock and never turn it off. If you are expecting a baby, go ahead and plug this piece of junk in to give you practice waking up throughout the night.
- It worked for 7 months, though at 6 months I had to unplug the battery, unplug the receiver and hop on one foot while chanting to the rain gods to make it work again. I don’t think I did the chant right at the 7 month time frame and now when I turn it on it is a series of 345,453,323,123 beeps. Though for awhile we used it as part of our techno beats dance party, the tune soon wore thin and now it sits. Mocking me from my coffee table.
- It doesn’t matter what channel you choose, you’ll have to endure a constant static “coughing” that will drive you straight into the feral clutches of madness. Save yourself. Save your sanity.
- Our other son had a monitor that wasn’t available where we purchased this one (we moved recently) and we love that one. The range is amazing! 200+ ft. (I took our trash to the dumpster and I was still able to hear my mother and wife talking in it).
