Graco Direct Connect Digital Baby Monitor, 1770471

We purchased this monitor set several months prior to having our first baby. We did not test its range prior to actually needing it. I have found that we barely get reception downstairs when the monitor is upstairs. If I am outside the exact room that base is in, within 20ft, reception is constantly in and out. Standing near the window doesn't help either. Several other monitors are capable of allowing you to hear you child breathing. This is only possible when the base is within inches of my daughter's mouth and the volume on the receiver maxed out. I originally re-paired the units, as others have stated, with mixed results. Overall, I am very unsatisfied with the quality of this product. Signal is poor at 20feet, a far cry from the advertised 2000ft. Sound clarity is good, if you have a signal and a screaming child. I will be purchasing another monitor to replace this one.

I just moved my daughter into her own room 3 weeks ago. The monitor worked great for the first week. Now, at night, it beeps b/c it's lost signal at least 2 times a night -- every night. We have to sneak into her room and turn off the base, turn it back on to re-connect the monitor. We are NOT that far away from her room where the signal should be lost. There is no way to Lock the channel so as to not lose it either. We have experienced it losing signal and it NOT beeping and our daughter has been crying without us knowing. I think a different monitor is in our near future due to how poorly this one functions. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It wasn't a cheap monitor, so you'd think it would work better than it does. I suggest for the money, you get a different item -- unless you like getting up more often than you baby to deal with a lost signal....

This monitor is the worst! It will stop working in the middle of the night! Many times I have woken up to hear my child screaming from across the hall, and when I look at the monitor it is on but just not working. The battery life on it is also disappointing.

I bought this monitor before reading the reviews on this site--and I'm glad I didn't read them first! This monitor system works just fine for us--the only problem we had was with the battery, and Graco honored the warranty and sent us a replacement battery in 2 days. We can hear our son just fine--and even had to turn it down because the mic was so sensitive. I'm very pleased with this monitor.

This monitor does not work at all! Constantly dropping signal even when 100 feet away. All night long off and on, plugged in and within 100-150 foot of base. Graco should really pull these. I purchased two sets for two children and neither unit works. Definitely not a viable product. Hopefully they will take them back at the store.
