The Lights and Sounds monitor is the only monitor I've purchased and can't complain about it.  It's put up with a lot from my son and myself.  I've had to replace it once, after I left it in the bathroom for a couple of days and the steam from all of the showers ruined it.

It reaches very far, which helps for when I have to go out at night to clean my car, take out garbage, talk on the phone, etc.

The only con is having to replace the batteries.  It comes with a cord so you could plug it into the wall, but I travel around the house with the monitor so I'm always going through batteries. ...
