"5.0 out of 5 stars" - Background: Baby is at 99% for height and weight, and grandpa wanted a swing (and tub, and bottles, and crib, and...) kept here so I can babysit as often as I get the chance. Thus I wanted a well-respected rocker/swing for what might become a pretty big infant. This one is rated for 30lbs and seems well loved by parents.Pro's:1) It's his kryptonite. He can't stay awake in it if I sit by him, kick on the rain or the heartbeat background sounds, and set the swing on #2.2) I really like the removable rocker. It's simply way convenient.3) Shut it all off and he's at a great height for talking with or playing with while I'm in a kitchen chair.Cons:1) It's kinda heavy. I don't care, but grandma is not grooving on the weight. And the rocker with junior in it is closing in on too heavy.2) 34" wide at the base (front)? Are you kidding me? And disassembly means screwing with the wiring disconnects? (which are poorly thought out, but a non-issue for a one-time assembly. Just carefully tuck in the excess before assembling. You'll see what I mean when you get there).Since the unit makes no pretense of being portable is there some compelling reason Graco didn't just make the width adjustable? Or narrow it a bit and weight the base? Or....?If you narrow the front base bar by 2.75" by cutting the front cross leg and re-drill the interconnect holes it fits through larger doors with only a mild wiggle of the base. The little plastic front bar connector is slightly off-center, but that's cosmetic. Nobody in the family has every noticed, and it's plenty stable.Updated after 6 years:3 babies later and this thing is all of their kryptonite. "Take him/her to grandpas house" seems to get muttered a lot when infants aren't sleeping well and mom wants to sleep. Thoughts:1) Thank goodness for the AC adapter.2) Are some of you reviewers trying to send your kids into orbit? How fast are you going? You're trying to mimic moms natural movement, not a carnival ride. Unless there are blankets dragging on the ground I've never even been close to full power/speed. And these kids are 90% plus in height and weight.3) We use the removable swing more than expected. It's great to pull the rocker out and set baby by the dinner table.4) It's super stable fore to aft, and the swing rotates as you want, so no reason to not have the base facing the most table direction.5) I run rechargable hi-capacity batteries in the vibrating base. Not that I use it much, but once in a while, say a sick baby cranky baby, it's helpful.6) The reclinable seat has been nice too. Up for baby to look around, down for sleeping.We're at 5 3/4 grandkids now, and I've still to see a sleeper/swing that kids fall asleep in as well. (don't let them sleep over-night in one, or even for extended periods).
"Makes horrible screeching noise" - It's making loud and consistent screeching noises like the things inside the motor are rubbing against each other which is very disturbing and frustrating.
