Summary: Over Priced & Under Performing. 2008-07-04
Comment: I spent way more than I should have on this product but hey my kids are worth it right? As it turns out my kids deserve better than this.
1- For the price, there is no reason this bundle should not come with 2 receivers. Very disappointing. Granted I knew it did not have 2 receivers when I bought but for the price but it should!
2- The starry nightlight is more like circles with random scratch patterns accross the inside that far from resemble stars.
3- With the sensitivity turned ALL THE WAY UP , the main unit just inches from the babies head and the handset volume ALL THE WAY UP , you cannot hear the baby until he is screaming full bore wich is the opposite
of what you wish to accomplish when using a product like this.
With all the settings maxed out and the monitor about 12 inches from your head the volume is equivalent to our old monitor , volume less than half from accross the room??? This renders the system completely useless.
They say it is guaranteed with Zero-Interference DECT Technology , which it probably is , we never heard any interference , but if you hold it 12 inches from your head and listen you can hear "white noise" so effectivly what they have done is cripple the volume limit to such a low level that you cannot here the white noise therefor giving the impression of being "so clear". Very innefective and I would not recommend this product.
On another note I am thrilled with Amazon yet again. They were very helpful and understanding with the situation. I had no problems obtaining a speedy refund and that is why Amazon is my #1 online shopping destination. They truly do take care of their customers.

Summary: Pricey...but worth it!! 2008-07-03
Comment: I really like this moniter. I hesitated to spend the money; but after many sleepless nights due to the static interference of my previous moniter;...I splurged. This moniter is quiet and doesn't pick up all the background noise that other moniter's do. I previously had a Fisher Price. My other son has a room right next to the baby and with the other moniter I could hear his TV, etc. Now I only hear the baby. I like the feature that I can talk to the baby from my handset. When I hear him I can assure him I'm on my way.

Summary: No interference is TRUE! 2008-06-30
Comment: I am glad that I bought this monitor. We have a lot of technology in our house and we tried 3 different monitors before this one and the interference was anoying. It is true that there is absolutely no interference and that is what I was looking for. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I think the volume could be a lot louder. With some of the other monitors I've tried, you could turn it up so loud that I could hear my baby breathing if I wanted to. I don't always want it that loud, but I want the option so I can tell what is going on in her room without having to go in to check it out. And it is true about the battery life being only 8 hours, but I feel that these are minor complaints and I am happy with my purchase. I would buy this one again if mine broke.

Summary: Works MOSTLY great... 2008-06-29
Comment: At first blush, I thought this product didn't work that great because it would sound like the audio would "cut out." But upon listening to it closer, it actually filters out standard background noise (like a window air-conditioner cycling on and off) so that you don't hear that type of noise, and then actually turns on when the baby makes a noise!
I didn't give it 5 stars though, because the thermometer doesn't seem to work very well - it typically shows the temperature at 5-8 degrees above actual room temperature.

Summary: Not worth the high price 2008-06-12
Comment: I bought this monitor to replace the Fisher-Price Sounds 'n Lights Monitor with Dual Receiver. Loved the features, especially the room temperature thermometer and the two-way radio. The biggest issue with this monitor is that the volume is extremely low. I can't hear my baby at all! The main feature I look for in a baby monitor is the ability to hear what's going on in my baby's room. With the Fisher Price monitor I can even hear my baby's breath.
Additionally, the battery life of the Phillips SCD 589 Digital baby Monitor is very poor. Even though the instructions say that you should fully charge the receiver and let the battery wear down during the first three uses, the battery still doesn't last long enough.
I wouldn't recommend paying the high price for this product, especially if you live in an area with a lot of noise coming from the street or the environment.
