The Safety 1st Crystal Clear Monitor cost us $20.
It actually is crystal clear!! I could not believe it, it is so clear that you can hear the hum of the furnace through it! There is no feedback either - no annoying hum that all monitors seem to have!
The receiver can be plugged in or has room for a 9-volt battery so you can take it with you when there are no plugs available. Not sure if plugging it back in will recharge the battery or not. It has 2 channels and a great volume control.
For $20 I seriously could not recommend a better monitor.
that's great to know! pffft, why are we all paying through the nose for the fancypants ones?
ReplyDeleteok so.... i don't like this monitor. sorry!
ReplyDeletethough yes, there is little else you can get for $20 (although i paid $29 at zellers). We needed a second one for a trip so i got it. it's ok for a second one in a pinch, but i honestly would not want to use this one all the time at home. my other one (by the same company) has the red sound-indicator lights so even if you turn the volume down all the way, you can still glance at it and see if something is making noise.
what i REALLY don't like though is how sensitive it is to other electronic devices. if a laptop or cell phone come anywhere near it, it gets really loud "interference" static.
so, not bad for the price, but i think the better ones are worth investing in for your primary-use monitor. better yet, get someone to buy it as your shower gift :)
