Summer Infant Secure Sounds Digital Monitor Review

At first this monitor was great.  It caught the noise perfectly.  we could hear everything. we never had any problems at all. Then out of the blue things went down hill. THe monitor doesn't connect to the base and you have to slam it down in order to get it to connect. Whn you try to turn it up it doens;t turn up. It stays at the same level. It is not a good monitor. Battery didn't last long when not charged. It would die within 45 minutes.  You couldn't do the dishes and carry aroudn the monitor when vacumming.  It'd have to stay on the base.  It ended up dying at 14 months but warranty only last 12 months. I tried to call the company but they wanted to do with it helping us. they wanted us to mail the monitor to them and pay for the shipping and then pay for them to look at it.  i was highly diasappoitnted. We paid a good amount for the monitor too. I would suggest purchasing something else worth a little more.
