I had never used monitors before, but we moved into a large house and thought I might need one with my second baby. I bought this during a sale, and so glad I did.
* Very quiet, no interference or static.
* I LOVE the little torch on the monitors so you can find your way to baby's room in the middle of the night.
* Lullabies are good, but a little monotonous.
* Good that it has a volume control because sometimes my baby is just babbling to herself and you want to turn it down a bit!
* Temp control is handy, but I don't like that it beeps with a warning when it gets too hot. I live in a hot climate, so it's beeping all the time!
* Recharge pods make sure it never runs out of battery.
* I love that there are two handsets... we have one in the living room and one in our bedroom, and if one starts to get low on battery (when it's off the charge pod) we can switch to the other.
