Professional reviews say that video and audio quality on video monitors in general just isn't up to par. Owners are slightly more positive than expert reviewers: Average scores on user review sites are slightly above the midpoint, putting the Quiet Sounds slightly ahead of others. We found the best reviews for another Summer Infants model, the Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor with 1.8-inch Screen 02090 (*Est. $170). Overall, experts say the video feature is unnecessary in most cases and audio-only monitors are more reliable.
Authors Denise and Alan Fields include a useful review of the Summer Infant Baby's Quiet Sounds Video Monitor in their latest edition of "Baby Bargains," the best-selling baby-gear book. There are also numerous owner-written reviews at sites like Amazon.com and Epinions. The hundreds of posts at these sites add up to a detailed picture of how owners feel about the Quiet Sounds video monitor.
