Philips Avent Basic Baby Monitor w/ DECT Technology Review

Philips Avent Basic Baby Monitor w/ DECT Technology Review
It's great that there is no interference on this monitor like there is on all the others I've tried, but it comes at the expense of low volume. Even after setting the sensitivity as high as it goes and the volume as high as it goes, it's still not loud enough. If there is any other noise in the room (like a tv or people talking) it is very difficult to hear.

I ended up returning it and I've gone back to using the noisy one I have - but at least I can hear it.
We have used the monitor for about a month. We live in a block of townhouses and have had no problem with interference or hearing other people on the monitors, etc. Everything works really well, except for one thing. The battery life on the parent monitor is disappointing - it will last one night without charging, but if you don't charge it, in the middle of the second night it will start beeping at you to plug it in. So, I would say the parent monitor can only be on for about maybe 10 hours before you need to plug it in. Not the worst problem in the world, but if the beeping has woken you up in the middle of the night a few times (and baby is still sleeping) it is a bit annoying!
