I'd really recommend this product for anyone who's not looking for something with different functions or complicated, this works very well to make you feel assured that your baby will be heard when they cry.
- Eliminates white noise very efficiently
- Very good range
- Easy to use
- Charge last for long time
- Alarm beeping when battery is low or connection with base fails
- Great value for money

Audio quality horrible. Don't waste your time. Doesn't do what it's supposed to do, baby's cries were not picked up on monitor. It would never "wake up" out of it's programmed sleep mode if baby cried. It took quite a big noise (baby screaming) to wake the monitor up, then as soon as it woke up, it was asleep again. Again, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

The sounds that the monitor picks up are fine although it takes one loud noise from the baby to activate. So the first cry is always missed. It was simple to set up from the box as it auto connects the baby and parent device once switched on. I have used it for a week now and have noticed that it looses connection randomly during the night (sometimes more than once) and takes a few minutes to reconnect. I do like that the monitor is a small size and is easily placed around though.

This monitor was easy to set and use but it drops connection a fair bit. Bought to use for older child in large house so that works for us. But for someone with an infant maybe not the best. It can be turned up quite loud which is helpful if distance (hanging washing etc) is needed so you can hear.

I will say it does have good range, but the charger for the parent unit broke somehow! And the rest of the unit is dodgy- I have to hold in the bottom and try repeatedly to get it to turn on- (I have dropped it a couple of times- it's fallen from my pants that it's clipped on)

We brought this so we could hear our baby in her room, the quality is excellent, picks up most sounds, cries well you will hear it for sure. Very easy to setup, baby gets one, we get the other. I find this monitor highly reliable, my room isnt far but its always good to just ensure the sound your hearing is your baby. I recommend this to anyone that just wants to keep an eye on baby while they are sleeping, you will hear your baby so no need to panic.

On our 3rd child we bought this monitor and love it. The monitor does not make sound unless your Bub lets out a few sounds or cries inside 5 secs. No listening to every little groan or background noise all night in the background! Better sleep for everyone. Prob not so good if your the nervous type and need a monitor to watch your child all night.

Love the lullaby feature and nightlight feature
At first i thought the monitor would cut out... then i realised that because it is digital the white noise cuts out, which makes you think the monitor is off. As soon as my baby makes a noise the monitor will pick it up. I charge it roughly every 2 days with it running every night and during naps. Love that there is no annoying interference noise or static.

I hate this baby monitor. It doesn't always pick up sound and the recharging cord is terrible. It snaps in half when you try to charge the monitor as its situated at the bottom of the unit and its extremely thin and filmsy. I do not recommend buying this monitor, it may be a cheaper option but its absolute rubbish!

This product is the worse
It cuts in and out
Barely picks up my daughter's cry even her little grunts it doesn't pick up. I would hear her more then the monitor. Never will it be reliable. Its not just cause it's a cheap product as I used a cheap one with my son and it only recently broke now (3yrs later) so I thought to try this as it was same price.. but nope definitely not same quality!!!

The sound cuts in and out, sometimes not working at all even when it is placed close to your baby. This is not a very reliable product. Better off spending a bit more on a reliable and well-reviewed product, especially for your own piece of mind if you are a first time parent.

Yes it's cheap but you get what you pay for. Cheap build quality and mine didn't work when I got it home. Vtech said it was a dud and didn't sound suprised - spend a bit more and go with another brand, there are other brands at this price and I imagine they will at least work!

My mother bought this unit for us from Big W, but we ended up taking it back.

The unit is easy to use and install, the problem is that it doesn't work very well. We put the receiver end right close to the baby bassinet, but it would rarely pick up sound! You could hear the baby crying before the monitor would decide to pick up and transmit any sound which made it useless.

Save your money and buy a better monitor and avoid V-Tech in general for their baby monitors. Perhaps V-Tech makes other functional items, but baby monitors are not among them.

Honestly the negative reviews of the BM1000 had me a bit worried. All we wanted was a cheaper digital monitor to run with alongside our AngelCare movement monitor so that we could go to sleep at night without the horrible static and white noise that its analogue receiver had. So far so good. The sound is clear, the batteries last long enough and we can hear our little one when she starts screaming! (not sure if that is a good thing!!)

The only negative I can say is that there is a second or two delay before the sound picks up. 1st world problem I know, but if that is the only bad thing I have to say so far then that is a good thing right?

We bought this monitor and the parent unit wouldn't turn on. No sound at all, no green light coming on. Took it back, got another one. Same problem. Called the helpline. They said try leaving it to charge overnight. (Should've worked regardless as I had it plugged in). Left it charging for two days. Still didn't work. Totally useless.
