Personally, I love the talk function. Not because I talk to my baby on it, but because in the early days when you’re trapped in the bedroom breastfeeding, you can request food and drink supplies from your other half. I quite often talk to my husband through it when he’s listening in another room.

This particular model is a slippery little blighter because of its “cool” shape. The talk function is a waste of time though – its like a PA announcement and no amount of whispering can make it sound soft. It also plays music but imo these are silly additions to an otherwise good sized and clear display.
The talk button is also poorly placed right at the top of the unit so its easy to accidentally press it when you pick it up.

Re web cams .. though about this .. would be cool, especially as you can watch when you’re away from home, but having the baby monitor next to your bed at night is far easier than having to have your laptop running all night !!

Thanks for the response.

If there is no mute option, what is the purpose of the coloured lights over the screen?

If I was spending this kind of money, I’d just get a wifi webcam and wall mount it. Then I could look at baby from my office desk whilst mum gets all the fun at home.
