I am looking for a baby monitor that will work best in my situation.
It will be used in a 2 story townhouse and only for nap times when he is sleeping upstairs and I am downstairs. I don't need it to work outside b/c we don't have a yard. It needs to work with wireless internet without static interference. I am not interested in a motion mat or video. I'd like to find a good one that is relatively inexpensive.
We bought a fisher price one but it has too much static.

You will find static on all that are analog --- just to varying degrees. Digital monitors aren't prone to interference like analog monitors are. So, digital ones don't get interference from other devices.
I've had two monitors that I really like ... one digital and one analog.
The digital one is by Safety First. It had no static interference, good battery life and good range:

The analog one is Sony Baby Call. It does have static, but it has "noise sensing technology" so when the level of ambient noise in the room is constant it shuts off --- so you hear absolutely nothing. When the noise changes (ie: your baby crying, moving around etc) it will turn on. It also has 27 channels to choose from so you are likely to find one with minimal static interference. And, because it shuts off you won't hear any noise coming from the monitor when your baby is asleep.

Do ALL baby monitors produce static throughout the day?
I had a basic Safety First baby monitor. I think it cost all of $18 USD. Every night it would go through these spasms of 10 minutes of nothing except static. I would unplug everything that did not need to be plugged in to help stop it but it didn't.
The other day I bought a Fisher-price Lights & Sounds baby monitor for about $ 40 USD. It seems to be working well but it ALSO produces a TON of static. I have tried it on both channels...still goes through spasms.
Has this happened to anyone else? Or is there something with the electrical system in my apartment?
Blue- That is SO creepy and very weird that you picked that up! LOL

I have the same Fisher Price monitor that you do. It is ALWAYS staticy, but from my understanding, all monitors are. Oh, and if you keep a cell phone too close to it, it makes funky screechy sort of noises. I just turn a fan on at night for "white noise" and I don't really notice the static anymore.
