Good product January 4, 2009

First of all, ONE THOUSAND THANKS to the person who mentioned the tiny pieces of plastic over the metal! My son is 10 weeks old, and we have spent that entire time frustrated over the fact we had to keep the parent unit plugged in. After reading that review, the thing works great! I couldn't believe that a product rated so highly by parents and Consumer Reports for ease of use and range would be tethered to the wall outlet! You must be sure to remove from each slot for the battery a very small piece of opaque plastic covering the electrode.

PROS:
I also agree that the design is slim and chic. Very lightweight. Very discreet.

I have read reviews that the lights on the power buttons on each unit are too bright. But I disagree. I must not be that sensitive. I don't have to hide the unit in my son's room, nor do i have to cover the one next to my bed. I was worried about it, as I am a light sleeper, but a piece of electrical tape over the button is adequate to diminish the light, if it winds up being a problem.

The sound is clear with good volume control. I sleep with a sound machine next to my bed (my baby's shuts off after 20 min), and I can clearly hear him over that.

I also like that the fact that if the baby unit fails or the power goes out, the parent unit immediately makes a horrendous beep.

CONS:
I don't like that there is no battery backup for the baby unit.
Finally, I think that the ease of use could be better (hence 4 stars). I don't like press and hold---when he starts fussing I like to get up and shut the thing off so my husband isn't too disturbed. By the time I hold for 5 sec, the baby is much more upset and harder to calm. Plus that battery thing was unnecessarily obscure.

Overall, though, i am very satisfied and would purchase again.

Best Monitor we've Owned January 2, 2009
This is a great baby monitor and it's technology seems to be copied by a lot of new companies now. The battery isn't great, but when you're a sleep-deprived parent of an infant with reflux, you want to hear what's happening in the other room. No other monitor comes close to the static-free, crystal-clear sounds coming from the Safety 1st HD Monitor.

I wish it came with two receivers so I didn't have to move the receiver all the time. After owning 4 other brands, I wanted to put my review and report this one as the best.

Friends have the Graco iMonitor and it sounds very good too - not quite as clear, but a close 2nd. I thought about the Phillips 589 DECT, but couldn't justify the expense. It's probably the best one. I also recommend looking at the Angelcare Movement Sensor which another friend highly recommended to us.

Best of luck with the baby!

Product received was not what was pictured. Batteries were inside the product so it was probably a returned product. Sound was not good. Appearance of product looked like an older product. I was very disappointed.

I bought this gift for my son when they had their first baby. They really like it, they can here him as soon as he wakes up. Works like a charm

Wonderful Product December 16, 2008
I was hesitant at first to buy this product due to the price being higher than most baby monitors on the market. I'm so glad I decided to spend a little more money. The baby monitors I have had in the past always had terrible reception making it hard to hear the baby at times. This one is clear as a bell and my cordless phones do not interfere with this monitors reception. I highly recommend!!!
