Intercom System WL888 - 4 Stations Black

I bought a set of four of these units and am currently only using two. They work well and the sound is clear,as long as you talk in a normal tone of voice. For some reason people seem to think they have to talk louder to be heard. This is incorrect and makes the voice more distorted the louder you talk. I had one problem with one unit where the talk button was stuck in the on position and neither unit would work until the button was released. I think this was user error in not pressing button down in the center causing it to get stuck on. It has never happened since. I contacted customer service about the problem and they email you back within a day. There solutions were of little help and I ended up solving it myself. They tried to help but maybe I didn't explain the problem correctly. Based on my use of these units I would recommend them.

THEY ARE DESIGNED WELL AND VERY EASY TO USE. SOUND QUALITY COULD BE BETTER BUT GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY. MY ORDER OF 6 WERE OBVIOUSLY USED BECAUSE SCREEN PROTECTORS WERE NOT ON THEM BUT THE ORDER OF THREE WERE INDEED NEW. AM KEEPING THE SIX ONLY BECAUSE OF THE MANY GOOD REPORTS OF THE MFGR RESPONSE TO CONSUMER PROBLEMS. STAR RATING FOR SOUND PROBLEM IS PROBABLY DUE TO SPEAKER SIZE.

As retired Marines, my husband and I bought our dream home. Because we are still young, we didn’t expect to have problems with aching joints. Because our home is so big I thought we could benefit from an intercom system. This system was easy to set up and easy to use. It is very convenient and clear. My only suggestions is that it would be nice if the system used a rechargeable battery so that I could unplug it from the wall and have it sitting by me instead of having to go to it. Additionally, I wish changing the channel to speak to my kids individually were easier (turn dial or a one button push system). However, the makers of this system did include a group button, that allows you to speak to the other 3 systems all at once. I would definitely purchase this system again and recommend to all.

Quick delivery. One unit of the four had an issue in which the channel kept changing back to 01 01 after about a minute, no matter which channel I programmed in. After contacting customer service I learned that this is actually a feature to allow you to temporarily change the channel and then after one minute of no use the unit switches back to the primary channel without you having to do it manually. It is a good feature and is turned on or off by pressing and holding the "Menu" button for 3 seconds, once you have programmed in your primary channel of your liking. The units are light weight, small footprint and have great range. I use them with my Family Radios Service radios when the grandchildren come to visit. The children are given a walkie-talkie FRS radio when they go out to play in the neighborhood and we can talk to them on the Wuloo intercom because they are compatible. You really can't go wrong buying these intercoms.

So, these Wulloo WL888 are essentially walkie-talkies. They are push-to-talk, not full duplex like a cell phone. That's ok. I wasn't intending to have long conversations using them. We have a multi room outbuilding. I don't always carry my cell phone and my wife doesn't like to spend ten minutes hunting me down just to ask a short question. The Wuloo multi station intercom system seemed like a solution. I thought I'd give them a try. The setup up is basically setting each unit's Channel and Code numbers. You push the Menu button. The Channel number starts flashing. You push the CH buttons as many times as needed to set a different channel on each unit. Pushing the Menu button again lets (requires) you set a Code number. I'm very unclear how to make use of the Code number, but it's there and most people will just use Code 1. Pushing the Menu button a third time sets the Channel/Code for the unit. I made no effort test the range of the intercoms, but I get a good strong signal over the 50 yards or so between our two buildings. The intercoms have a call-all-stations feature, the Group function. Push the Group button and the sender can be heard on all other units (at least units with the same Code). That's probably how we will use the intercoms most of the time, ie my will using her unit to find me. My middling rating results from the mind boggling clunky procedure you must use to call a single station. To call a specific station you must essentially follow the same procedure you followed to set the station's Channel and Code, but you as setting the destinations Channel/Code this time. For example, to call Channel 10, you would have to make 13 button pushes. The instructions are very vague about this. It took me a while to accomplish a single until call just because I couldn't believe anybody would design such a dumb interface. There are two button to set a channel. Why couldn't I just push the up or down Channel button to the right channel and push Talk? Knowing what I do now, for an situation where you need less than ten units, I would probably go with the Wuloo WL666 instead of the WL888's. They have a simpler, faster to use interface, have many of the same features as the 888's, and are less expensive. Or you couldn't just remember to carry your cell.

The intercoms are very easy to set up and install. Uses standard 5V 1A USB power supply, but oddly a non-standard tip/ring plug. Configuring the intercoms is simple and done in less than 30 seconds. However, using them ... it is best to just set them all to the same channel so you are always calling and/or talking to all units at the same time. Calling a unit with a different channel requires you to temporarily re-configure the local intercom to match the remote intercom's channel/code. Why this must be done versus just "call station X" is beyond me. At least the units can be set to return to original channel after your call is finished. But I find this odd and not what I would expect. 3 stars for functional units. -2 stars for requiring reconfig to call different channel Edit: -2 another stars. After 1.5 years of light use, 1 of 4 units will no longer permanently save the code. For 1 5 years this specific unit kept the channel and code correctly. Then one day it reset to 00 code. Attempts to lock correct code fail, it resets to 00 code after 1 minute. Attempts to change channel and code also fail. Lock by holding Menu for 3 seconds beeps and appears to work, but channel and code reset to previous channel and 00 code after 1 minute. Due to annoy way to change channels (no easy "call station" buttons), and the broken unit after 1.5 years, I would not buy this again, nor would I suggest to anyone else to buy them.

We got tired of yelling and wanted a better solution and so bought these, which wound up serving the purpose, easy to set up and use and when we experienced some one interference were easily able to change to a different band, which solved the problem, but what promoted to write this review was that after we had one unit that went bad after the warranty had ended, we reached out to the customer support and they were immediately responsive with an offer of replacement at no cost to us and so what can I say other than great product with equally great customer support, thanks Wuloo.

Was so tired of yelling up the stairs or banging on the wall to get the kids attention. Now we use these intercoms to communicate to one another in the house. Very clear communication. We can call, talk and adjust the volume. It is a little bight at night but you can cut it on and off easily but holding down the power button. Makes calling for dinner easier and I love getting and sending cute little messages to each other. (Also great for my elderly grandparents!)
