UHAXZ Elderly Intercom System, Full Duplex Talk, Wireless, Portable, 2-pack

This mobile intercom system by UHAXZ is not a toy, which, at first site, I was half expecting it to be. It's very simple, with few buttons, but that's what makes it perfect for so many situations where quick or constant communication is necessary. The box comes with two ready to use two-way intercoms, two lanyards for you to attach, a dual charging cord and plug, and a simple instruction booklet. These devices work up to various distances depending on if you are in a wide open space or if there are walls, etc. I have used these with my husband while he was in the backyard, and I was in the furthest room away in our home. The reception is crystal clear. These could be used at home for kids/parents or caregiver/senior situations, while shopping or in any situation where part of a group goes to a different area intending to meet up later but want to stay in communication. There's so many uses. You can change the volume as well as the chimes. There is an LED light that signals when the device is on stand-by mode or charging. A warning when the battery is running low. These intercoms are a great alternative to or back up for cell phones! I definitely think these would make a great gift, and I highly recommend them!

Our son's playroom is in our basement. This means we yell a lot to each other from different floors. These seemed like a great solution. They are super lightweight, very easy to use - only minimal buttons, and last a good amount of time when charged. They can be clearly used between floors in our home and to some extent, even from inside to our backyard. I love that you can press the "phone" button and then talk hands-free. It's nice not having to keep a button pressed down (especially for younger kiddos who have a harder time with this concept). The battery lasts a decent amount and I like that they provided a way to charge both units at the same time. Alternatively, if you want to have them plugged in on different floors charging and available for use - you could do that too. (They have pretty standard plugs.) Overall, very fun. A bit pricey, but I know we will use them a lot.
