I didnt want to splash out too much on a baby monitor and this was cheap at £20. It can be battery or mains operated and so is fully portable, the base unit has a nightlight on it although I rarely us that feature. It has two channels so you can swop if you neighbours are using the same channel as you - much like cordless phones. I find that you can get interference if either of the units are to close to mobiles, cordless phones or radios etc BUT it does pick up a lot of sound, even the drunks passing by in the street 2 floors down. We have the monitor across the room from the cot and it still picks up all of my sons little snuffles, sometimes it sounds like he is being very noisy but when I go to check on him he is hardly making any sound at all. The circle of lights light up with noise so if you are watching a noisy TV programme you can still be alerted when your baby is crying. There is also an adjustable volume control, I normally have mine on 3 out of 5 which enables me to still hear any crying but the background noise doesnt come over too loud while I am watching TV. All in all a vert good budget buy, I cant really see how more expensive monitors can be much better, Everything you need.
