Nanit Superior Sleep Set Essentials Reviews Summary

Setup and Design

Pros:

• "Absolutely love our Nanit! Super easy to set up and looks great!"
• "The camera was easy to set up and both my husband and my phones are connected for alerts & being able to check on our little guy sleeping."
• "The camera is extremely easy to setup and install in the nursery."

Cons:

• "We expected this expensive camera to work for multiple kids but instead didn’t even last through one."
• "Because of this subscription and the cumbersome and very specific process to install the camera that limits its use to one crib I would have not bought this camera."

App Functionality

Pros:

• "I love the fact that I can see my baby from whenever and wherever I am."
• "The seamless synchronization with your phone, even when you're away from home, is revolutionary."
• "It sends notifications when there is motion or sound."

Cons:

• "It drains your phone battery, you HAVE to keep your app open to hear the baby cry."
• "The app just closes on its own or is stuck in the circle of death just loading."
• "Nice idea with a terrible app."
• "The app is ok to use, however, it's really cluttered with ads and not as intuitive compared to Owlet and Ring."

Connectivity and Reliability

Pros:

• "I love the wifi capability, which allows us to keep an eye on her sleeping even when we’re outside."
• "The range using wifi has been adequate and I have never been afraid of baby monitor hackers due to the multi-factor authentication and the ability to create a strong personal password."

Cons:

• "The camera loses wifi connection sometimes, which requires it to be unplugged and plugged back in."
• "It disconnects and stops working with no notice, which has happened over night several times."
• "The camera is always 'unable to connect' despite Nanit saying all systems are fine."
• "Every time I want to see my child, I have to hope that the app has chosen to cooperate with me."
• "I’ve used the troubleshooting method, but still no connection."
• "I frequently lose connection with the baby monitor over night."
• "Our wifi router is literally in the same room and none of our other wifi devices lose connection."

Subscription and Cost

Pros:

• "Best part- pay with your HSA or flex spending since this can be classified as medical equipment."
• "You don’t have to spend $150 a year for the basic package. On the website there’s a similar package for $50 a year."
• "Save yourself the money without the annual fee this camera is no better than any $60 barebones monitor at Walmart."

Cons:

• "Unless you pay for their very expensive subscription service, this is an almost worthless piece of hardware."
• "AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE THE CAMERA WITH MORE THAN 2 PEOPLE WITHOUT PAYING EXTRA."
• "The subscription service is also complete bananas overall."
• "If you're not prepared to pay full subscription costs, you get an annoying advertisement message everywhere on this app."
• "Many features and standard expectations are locked behind hundreds of dollars in subscription fees."
• "Its over priced for the camera considering to use any feature you also have to pay a subscription fee."
• "You're basically paying $300 for a camera that needs a subscription to get the features."

Product Quality and Features

Pros:

• "I absolutely love my Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor!"
• "I absolutely love this monitor. It gives us comfort knowing there is a breathing monitor and has so many different features!!"
• "The sensor-free sleep and breathing motion tracker provides me with peace of mind."
• "The 1080p video quality is crystal clear, allowing me to keep a close eye on my little one day and night."
• "Absolutely love the quality of the camera and the breathing band it comes with!!!"
• "The crystal clear video quality with secure night vision allowed us to see our baby's every move, day or night."
• "This camera is worth every penny. It has motion, and sound detection and also monitors the nursery’s humidity and temperature."

Cons:

• "I don't really have such a strong opinion about any other product in my child's life besides this god awful device and app."
• "My baby has just hit 3 months and he is under 12.5 pound. However because of the design of the breathing band it is useless."
• "The viewing area is extremely limited."
• "It does not swivel like my previous monitor."
• "The picture is super pixelated and not clear."
• "Night vision is not great."
• "The connection issues began. Video would lag behind and audio would keep cutting out."
