VTech 2 Parent Unit Digital Audio Monitor with Night Light (DM221-2)

I bought this baby monitor to replace a fisher-price one we bought 5 years ago. One thing we wanted was portable devices meaning rechargeable functionality. I high recommend this product. I have a 3 storey house and the range is awesome. I haven't used the walkie talkie feature yet as our baby is only 4 months. Pros: No Static Portable and device can be taken around house without wires excellent range walkie talkie feature vibration feature visual indicator on device to alert noise if volume was low Can control sensitivity Cons: ? Price $< 50.00

This is the second set of the same model. The first set bought around 2011 lasted a long time and we broke the wire cord. At that time we used it for our babies. Now we use it to communicate with the kids when they are on another level of the house. The new feature I appreciate is that I was able to choose not to have the parent unit beep every time I push a volume button. You have to read instructions to get that turned off. The new feature I hate is that if you lose power to the base unit then a minute after receiving power again this alarming female voice repeats this long recording about safety. Soooo not necessary! But otherwise it is really good. Clear sound that can pick up the slightest noises of your baby, and it has red lights letting you know how intense their sounds get. I am a light sleeper now and the sound part I remember was hard to find a compromise on so I could sleep through the baby shifting in his crib. But I guess that would be a challenge with any baby monitor.
