    VTech DM221 Audio Baby Monitor with up to 1,000 ft of Range, Vibrating Sound-Alert, Talk Back Intercom & Night Light Loop

    • There are several useful features when it is working
    • So many people seem to want every fancy feature they can get but at the end of the day we just wanted to be able to hear our daughter crying or making noise
    • The nightlight on the baby unit is a nice feature.
    • The best feature is the sound sensitivity
    • The night light is a handy feature if she needs changed at night.
    • Love the walky talky feature
    • I love the talk feature
    • and I love the feature that allows me to talk to him without having to go into his room at night.
    • I was skeptical at first because it didn’t have the fancier video feature, but even with my baby being on a different floor of the house, this monitor works great
    • Also, the intercom is such a great feature.
    • Overall many good features at a good price, but 3 stars is all I can give it.
    • They especially love the talk back feature as an older child feels special in "helping"
    • It even has a good nightlight feature that comes on when he makes noise
    • Great feature to be able to talk through it to my grandma
    • We also have enjoyed the talk back feature for parent to parent communication.
    • I like the two way talk feature so much!
    • I find myself putting my ear to the monitor to make sure it is still working even though it is linked, but every time I'm linked and realize what a great feature it is, they don't make the background noice like a sleep machine loud on the parent monitor, it only reacts when a loud noice happens like the baby moves or cries out which makes trying to hold a conversation so much easier
    • The nightlight feature is a soft orange glow, perfect for seeing what’s going on at night without waking anyone up
    • The nightlight feature is a soft orange glow, perfect for seeing what’s going on at night without waking anyone up
    • Sound great, work great, I love the features for the price
    • I love the feature that lets me talk to baby when she wakes up
    • The night light on is very cool and can be turned on from the parent unit, although we do not use a nightlight, the feature is still nice
    • Love the nightlight feature on the baby unit, as well as the clip on the parent unit
    • We like that we can adjust the sensitivity and the lights are a nice feature
    • I do like the nightlight feature when baby makes noise
    • I like the feature where you can talk to the child.
    • She loves the talk back feature and we have occasionally used it to communicate back and forth when she is playing and I'm feeding the baby.
    • My favorite feature is - it will go silent when there is no movement
    • Also has nice "talk feature" to whisper something to the baby if he/she starts waking up.
    • Lovely feature when you finally successfully get baby down to sleep, realize in the next room over that you need to link the units only to have the inevitable loud message come on and wake your baby
    • Dimming feature on the base unit is very helpful
    • Love the mic feature
    • Nice features.
    • It picks up clear sounds and I love the press and talk feature
    • There are other good features
    • This baby monitor has some cool features, and it was highly rated on Wirecutter.com, which is why we decided to get it (as a replacement for the one we had, which was terrible)
    • It works as it is supposed to
    • From the moment I opened it, it had to be always plugged in to work as there is no battery feature (the batteries are defective)
    • Highly recommend as long as you want a no frills just reliable audio monitor!
    • We keep it hooked up to the charger throughout the entire night to make sure the battery does not run out and turns it off which keeps it working as we need it to
    • n’t do much with this monitor because the link is in & out then lost sometimes without reason
    • n’t work
