" ... We have been using our Miku smart monitor for a week now and it has been perfect! ... It is a huge upgrade from our monitor we had before, the miku has everything you need in one, and is setup through the phone which makes things so much more convenient. ... "
" ... We just got our Miku monitor! ... "
" ... But one of the things I really like that we purchased is our Miku Monitor. ... "
" ... Insert googling and researching (most likely around 2,3,4 in the morning) for a monitor that would allow for me to get a few hours of rest. ... "
" ... A few things I’d like the Miku company to consider is to include a separate monitor, having it stream on our cellphone and tablets is hard when we are charging our phones at night and the Miku seems to make our phones very hot. ... "
" ... It took no time at all to install the monitor and setting it up on my phone was quick! ... "
" ... To-date this has been a great way to monitor, however, we did notice that the Vtech took a while to connect to each time we opened the app, and the camera had ZERO ability to monitor vitals. ... "
" ... We can access and get notifications straight to our phones. ... "

" ... We have really strong WiFi in our house. ... "
" ... My son is still in the bassinet in our room so we have it on a shelf in there. ... "
" ... So getting a Miku was a total upgrade for our family! ... Transitioning the baby into a crib and into another room was a big scary thing for me. ... "
" ... Shipping was super fast, it took two days to get to our house. ... "
" ... My family puts our trust in the Miku with zero reservations and we hope you will too. ... "
" ... We do have a WiFi extender up on our top floor where the bedrooms are located as our modem and router are in the basement, which I think definitely helps with the signal. ... "

" ... This is the best baby monitor money can buy, hands down! ... "
" ... The Miku Baby Monitor is absolutely amazing! ... "
" ... I love this thing and would never go back to an inferior monitor at this point - definitely convinced this is the best baby monitor on the market. ... "

" ... ALARMS - we get false alarms often. ... So we turned off the alarms and for some reason we still get alarms going off in the middle of everyone safely and soundly sleeping. ... "
" ... We were between this and the owlet sock but hesitated on the owlet because of all of the false alarms. ... "
" ... I ended up returning because it kept going off line and wouldnt alarm me when the baby was out of his crib (no movement) I couldnt trust this to alert me if my baby stopped moving or breathing and for the price I should feel a little better but I didn't. ... "
" ... The “no movement” (even when our baby is in the crib breathing normally) seems to set the alarm off several times a day which makes me turn the Alarm off so I’m not waking up every so often to false alarms. ... "
