Professional reviewers give the Graco iMonitor very good ratings, but owner-written reviews are mixed. Interference and accidental eavesdropping -- two common baby monitor problems -- are greatly reduced with the digital iMonitor. Both professional reviewers and owners criticize the battery life of the Graco iMonitor, but overall this model strikes the best blend of ease of use and clarity, with minimal interference. The iMonitor is available with either one or two parent receiver units.
Both Baby Bargains and Consumer Reports include the Graco iMonitor in their excellent coverage of baby monitors. Consumer Reports ranks each model according to the results of independent tests. Baby Bargains, which relies on informal testing and extensive research, includes more detailed coverage of each brand's lineup. Owner-written reviews are another good source of information on baby monitors. Amazon.com has a useful number of posts on the iMonitor. There are also some fairly helpful video reviews posted on ExpoTV.com.

3. Amazon.com
Overall, Amazon.com is the best source of user reviews for baby monitors. Graco's iMonitor is one of the top-selling models on Amazon.com, but its ratings aren't outstanding. In well over 100 owner-written reviews, the iMonitor averages only a middling score.
