I absolutely LOVED this monitor! We were picking up someone else's baby monitor with our old one, and it's static was waking me up when I was already on broken sleep from DS.
Reception was crystal clear, being able to turn the lullabies on without entering the room and having an intercom system to be able to talk to bub without going in either was FANTASTIC! Portable parent unit that just sat on the charging dock through the night in our bedroom and clipped to my belt during the day had brilliant range and meant that I could do things like hang out the washing when he was having a sleep because it was extremely sensitive and I could even hear when he was doing his "I'm about to wake up" snuffling.
This unit is worth FAR more than it's weight in gold. At least it was, until in my sleep deprived and exhaustion raddled brain, I put the parent unit in the microwave instead of the bottle that I was holding in my other hand :/
Only giving it a 9 because the one thing that could possibly make it any better is if it had a camera and a screen on the parent unit (as I believe the 700secure model has).
