We have a small house, and didn't need a deluxe monitor, so we choose this one. It has 2 receivers, which is very convenient to keep one in 2 different places in the house. I like that it can be clipped to your clothes or belt. I like that it runs off of batteries when you unplug the ac adaptor.

The lights are important in a monitor so that when we are in the living room, watching tv or listening to music, we can see the monitor if we don't always hear it.

I DO NOT like that you cannot use the nightlite without turning on the monitor.
