    This product was actually purchased for my mom. She's unable to walk anymore and this is a great way to be able to hear her if she needs anything when we're not in the room. The quality of hearing her is incredible. The best thing is there are two monitors to s have between me and my brother while the main unit is right next to our mom.

    Love this monitor and it has been the best one we have purchased over the course of 9 kids! We have a box fan in the room but cannot even hear it, only our baby's sounds come through. Also love the feature that you can talk to your child with intercom function. Great system all around!

    I purchased this as a replacement for the one I had when my daughter was a baby. She is 5 now and I wanted to be able to hear her throughout the night. She literally uses it as an intercom to talk to me. The quality is great! I gave 4 stars due to the battery having to charge constantly.

    While these are designed for parents with young children, we purchased this to monitor an aging parent who shares our home. And, it works better than I expected. It is sensitive enough to pick up a cough or the sound of a parent getting out of bed. The radio link reaches outside the house to give us a little more flexibility in our daily activities while still listening out for a parent in need. I especially like the fact that the parent unit has an alert signal when it hears a sound from the infant unit above a threshold. This is a helpful feature when there is background noise.

    we use it as in-home intercom for 2 somewhat deaf senior citizens. this allows us to communicate without screaming at each other. i'm sure it works beautifully as baby monitor as well because the sound quality is great.

    My husband is dealing with vertigo and was afraid to shower or go Outside to get the delivered newspaper without me being with him. By the use of these monitors, he can be more independent by having the units in the bathroom, bedroom and take one out with him when he gets the paper and I can hear him if he’s having a problem. It’s gives us relief and peace of mind.

    Great monitor. User friendly. We used these for grandchildren, but find it works well for elderly parent also. Love that it came with two receiver units so I can hear him when in other bedroom or kitchen.

    Only option for audio-only baby monitors, and it's a good one. Has settings to turn down the background noise, which is nice so I don’t have to hear the noise machine or space heater in the background, but crying will still come through. Would buy again.

    This is a small and clear sounding monitor. We use it to hear my elderly father when he needs help. It is easy to use and 2 hearing units are helpful. Great for the price. It is lightweight, comfortable, stays upright easily. Very portable. It is easy to see in the dark. Easy to adjust the sound for hearing. Picks up sound at a great distance.

    Can be use a walkie talkie but it is relaced by alexa. In terms of a baby monitor its okay there are cheaper options but is in the higher end side. 2 sets mean both parents dont need to be in the room.

    If you’re like us and don’t want to hear every sound your kid makes, this is the baby monitor for you. My wife and I enjoy our sleep but we obviously worry about our daughter throughout the night since our bedroom is on the opposite end of the house. We have a Nanit for video and audio but with our phones on sleep mode, notifications don’t make noise. This monitor is great because it makes no noise until your child makes a decently loud cry. We have our monitor on level 1 so she has to cry for several seconds before the low volume will wake us up. Our daughter is a fantastic sleeper so we have a slight advantage but we’ve gotten her to that level by letting her cry it out several different times. She has learned to soothe herself and go back to sleep. She’s sleeps from around 7:45 pm to 7am. Anyways, I’d highly recommend this monitor but I would suggest having a video monitor as well so you can see your child.

    I used this monitor for my mom who just got out of the hospital. Brought her bed down to the living room and I'm up stairs. I can hear everything she's doing and can talk to her if she's not feeling well. I love this product and would recommend it to anyone. Not just for babies.
