Home furnishings giant IKEA has entered the electronics market with their version of the baby monitor. We just spotted this in their New section of offerings.
The PATRULL is simple and functional looking - featuring white units and kelly green accents. There isn't a ton of information online. It does operate on two chanels so you can try to avoid interference. It boasts an operating distance of 109 yards. The IKEA PATRULL is priced at $24.99. Let us know if you've got one.

They've had these for a few years I think in the UK. I got one when my middle child was born to replace a more expensive digital one that went bust and it has worked just fine for us. You can set it to be "on" all the time, or just to be activated when baby makes noise, which saves batteries. It can also plug in, which makes sense for the baby end.
Not fancy but it has worked well with no interference for us. I just use rechargable batteries in it too.
I wonder if you have to assemble it yourself?
now if they can make something similar to the tripp trapp....
These work great. My friend's brought them from Denmark and you can get incredible clarity distance. I am so glad they are FINALLY in the US.
I need this!! Our laundry room is about 75 yards away from the apartment, and I would dearly love to do some laundry while the kids are napping - but our monitor doesn't go far enough. Glad to hear reviews that it actually works!
@Toker - haha.
Is the signal encrypted or scrambled if it's not digital?
Love the design, but I am curious about the specs on this product. Niether this article or the product page on IKEA.com mentions what frequency this product uses (big feature for baby monitors). Cheaper monitors like this one likely use a frequency of 900MHz or less, meaning that you will be picking up the signal of neighbors home wireless phones and other baby monitors.
markemge - I don't know what MHz they are are, but mine has more then one frequency setting so you can find one that works for you. We've never had any feedback on ours, but someone once told me that the UK has laws about what frequencies things like thes CAN work on to avoid that kind of interference, so this might not be relevant to you in the US.
