Love my Angelcare

published

I have had an angelcare ac1300 for the past 3.5 years. We use it constantly. We had a battery issue with the parent unit at around the year mark but got another parent unit no issues. Since then we have had no issues. We use the parent unit for about 2 hrs off the charger per day and still have plenty of charge left. The motion sensors still work even though our daughter is a lot older now. Love it. Occassionally it will drop comms at night but nothing that bothers me (maybe its happened 5 times in 3 years). Im able to be outside in the front or back yard so long i put it in the window. Obviously brick is a bit hard for the comms.

Purchased in for $450.

Faulty & un Accurate

published

Drops out of range in close proximity all the time constantly going off in the middle of the night even though we have reset it very annoying to have this problem

Alarm goes off at least 3 times a week in the middle of the night, do u know how scary that is waking up to a alarm in a deep sleep

Shocking

published

This was given to me as a gift and I wish I could give it back! It constantly drops out of range and wakes me up more than my newborn does! I do not recommend this product at all!

Would not recommend

published

The parent unit battery is atrocious. I basically need it constantly on charge and will be lucky to get 30 minutes out of it fully charged. The range is also pretty bad can reach just out my front and back door but can’t make it to work the letter box or back yard and my house is not huge. Super disappointed considering the cost of the monitor. I now use a $5 baby monitor app and an old iPad.

Purchased in at Catch for $300.

Hello.
Thank you for the feedback.
The battery on the parent unit needs to be replaced every 6 months or so for optimal use.
Please contact me on (03) 958 18034 if you would like to go ahead with the purchase of a replacement battery.

Wish I had read the reviews...

Straight out of the box the parent unit doesn’t hold charge. Looses connection 15 metres away in our bedroom. We spent a fortune on this thing and I’m really lost as to what to do!! Really disappointed!!!

I was under the impression angel care was the rolls Royce of baby monitors!

Total piece of rubbish

Battery life is appalling. Constantly out of range. Don’t dare to use your wifi as it interrupts the signal. And then it just died. Apparently out of warranty. You’re better off with tin cans and string.

Here are thirteen more words so that I meet the fifty word minimum. Word.

Thanks but After Baby bunting told us it was out of warranty, and it wasn’t working, we needed another monitor so bought one from Kmart for $99. It is an excellent product for substantially less.

Should have been recalled.

published

Angelcare fail! Do not buy one of these for your baby. Whilst the software is ok, the hardware on these things is rubbish. Five failures under wanrranty and now it’s dead again. Battery failure, battery failure, monitor failure, battery failure and now a camera failure. We were recommend this by baby village.

Faulty Monitor

I’ve got the angel care ac1300 - first started working fine but the monitors battery life doesn’t last a full night off charge so I need to leave it on charge while using it. Now occasionally it’s been known to turn its self off to the point that I am even not waking up to my own child!

Poor battery life faulty power cord

published

I have had the angelcare ac1300 and in the time I’ve had it the parent unit charger stopped working. I was able to charge it using a Samsung phone charger so that wasn’t too much of a problem but recently the main unit power cable is no longer working! I have rechargeable batteries in it and they don’t last more than an hour yet alone overnight which has now made the monitor useless.

Good customer service good product.

published

Been using AC1300 for 8 months. At 7 months monitor started to go flat (these things happen!) I emailed customer service and one was sent out within days - was easy and no hassle. Pocket size screen and visual is good and all works well. Great piece of mind and I have a product that does what it says it should do.

Terrible monitor. Wouldn't purchase brand again

published

Very disappointed with the angelcare monitor. Only after a few night of using it, the monitor had to remain plugged in to use as it had zero battery life. Now the monitor will not even charge. I have tried a number different plugs and outlets and nothing works. Extremely dissapointed as we were planning on having this monitor for use in the future... but not if we can't even turn it on

Hi, my Angel Care AC1300 had only been used for 1 year and the camera is no longer functioning properly. It switches itself off with the least movement or for no reason at all leaving us in a difficult position through the night for the last week. I'm disappointed given the cost we have only gotten 1 year out if it. I believe it is still under warranty? It was bought through Amazon and I can provide receipt. Thanks, Dawn

I have a brand new set up and just installed it all and the parent unit will not turn on unless it's plugged in. I charged it for the 9 hours prior to use etc. If it always has to be plugged in it defeats the purpose of being able to go around the house with it. Any suggestions?
