Philips Avent Audio Baby Monitor Dect SCD502/10

This baby monitor is low frills, but a great product! I love how it picks up any noise the baby makes but doesn't transmit the sound machine noise. I also like that the receiving monitor lights up when there's sound so I can see it from across the room even when I can't hear it from that distance. We've gone through several monitors before this one, and this one is by far the best quality and at a very reasonable price.

I have received a free sample of this product in exchange for a review. If you're looking for a basic monitor, this one is perfect. It doesn't have the constant static most do since it only "comes on" when it picks up sound, which I love at night since I've always hated the static when trying to sleep. The sound is clear, perfect when listening to the baby babbling to himself. The parent unit has held up after a few drops. I do wish it had a belt clip so it'd be easier to carry when I'm carrying laundry up and down the stairs. Overall excellent product and would recommend.

I received this monitor for free in exchange for this review. I was surprised at how easy it was to install. Just plug it in and "go". The night light is an added bonus. It's easy to use and we have had zero interference issues with it. Nice addition to our nursery.

The Avent Baby Monitor we received as a free sample in order to review has been a dream come true! We have a couple other monitors, different brands, that have been "average" at best, some that even have visual display monitors #this one does not#, and this one is twice as good! It's super easy to use - it's basically "plug and play" as the saying goes - you can use it right out of the box without having to read the instructions 10 times. It can literally filter out sounds it realizes are part of white noise in the room #like if you have the baby in a swing that makes sounds, or some nursery music playing softly#. And it occasionally lets you hear the baby's soft breathing to ensure you're in-tuned to your baby. This monitor is AWESOME. I highly recommend it to everyone, it won't disappoint. Who cares if it doesn't have visual display, it's better than those anyhow. I should also mention, we have a fairly large house, and monitor range abilities have been a problem in the past with other monitors -- this one has ZERO issues with range, or even the upstairs/downstairs problem some encounter. Two thumbs up, Philips Avent!

Overall, this is a good monitor. On the plus side, it is easy to use, has a pretty strong connection. On the down side, the volume is kind of low, even as its highest volume. Also, I wish it was rechargeable, as the cost batteries tend to add up and it's somewhat unrealistic (at least for me) to keep it in one area all the time. However, this isn't too big of a problem. I received this product in exchange for an honest review.
