Battery Life

Pros:

• "The battery lasts a long long time!"
• "I've only had to replace the batteries once in 2 years."
• "Charge lasts awhile."
• "It also has a really great battery life of several hours off the charger if you are moving around."
• "Battery life lasts about 8 hours which is enough for me."
• "Battery life could be better.. but I always plug it in each night to prevent it from dieing on me."
• "The rechargeable battery is convenient and environmentally friendly."

Cons:

• "As for the battery life, it is extremely short."
• "The battery doesn’t last through the night."
• "It does eat through battery pretty fast if you have it just running on batteries for a long period of time, my advice would be to leave it plugged in if possible."
• "The battery life on the parents' receiver is non-existent, even after charging it fully."
• "The battery life is a joke and will barely keep a charge for 24 hours so we have to keep it plugged in all of the time."
• "But if you unplug it, for example to carry the monitor around with you, it rapidly drains the AAA batteries."
• "After less than a week of using it unplugged a couple hours a day, the batteries are dying."

Range and Connectivity

Pros:

• "The range is really impressive."
• "The range is good as well. I can be playing out back with my toddler and the monitor still picks up the nursery just fine."
• "I am pleasantly surprised by the range and can easily pick up the signal even from outside."
• "Both distances worked great."
• "The range is great, I used to walk the dog with the receiver at night while the baby was sleeping, and I could hear very clearly for easily 20-30 yards before it started breaking up."
• "The range is great for a multi floor house."
• "The range far exceeds what I expected as does the sensitivity to small little sounds it picks up."

Cons:

• "Sometimes this baby monitor does not pick up any sound while on."
• "The monitor ceased to work after 6 months of nightly use. It did its beeps like the two units are out of range, even when 4 feet away with no obstruction."
• "The monitor doesn’t have much range outside of our house if we venture into our yard."
• "Nowhere near listed range; lost contact less than 100 feet from base."
• "There is a bathroom between our bedroom and our sons and it cuts out."
• "It turns off completely when unplugged and takes a few seconds to boot back up."
• "I’ve had many times where my baby was in her crib crying and the baby monitor never picked it up, not even a noise."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "This was a little more than $16, so to us the price was reasonable."
• "For less than twenty bucks, this is a steal."
• "This product works great for the price point and if you’re looking for something simple."
• "Great value for the cost."
• "The cost was low the quality is great I would definitely recommend this and would purchase again !!!!!"
• "This product is definitely worth the cost and is made to last."
• "It's terrific for the price. I paid $18.99."

Cons:

• "However for the cost I might just suck it up and buy another set."
• "The only replacement we could find cost as much as the device itself."
• "For the cost it wasn’t bad but I won’t buy it again."
• "So the unit seems cheap, but gets more expensive if you factor in the cost of AAA batteries."
• "This product reflects intentional price segmentation to force consumers to buy the $50 version for differences that cost the same to manufacture."
• "That increases the cost, so think twice with this one."
• "So this would cost the same price as the unit to operate for a year. No."
