I had compared prices and features of other baby monitors when it came time to purchase a new monitor for my 11 month old son, his previous very expensive video based monitor completely quit and even before that was so filled with static that you could barely hear anything but static. I picked up the Crystal Clear monitor by Safety First for only $18.00 at out local Wal-Mart thinking this would hold us over until I could order or pick out another company/model of monitor that I had my eye on (very expensive), and as soon as we connected the Crystal Clear set I was in love! It is so clear (and no static, not even in our two story home) and you can hear every tiny sound in my son's room, his moving and breathing, that I am now thinking we will just save the money that we would have spent on an expensive monitor and keep this $18.00 wonder! Try it you won't be disappointed even with the tiny price tag, it does what it says!
