I had been considering the Vtech LS6125-3 but decided to delay as I believed an updated model would soon come to market. Well, this is it...the LS6225-3. I ordered it as soon as it became available on Amazon and I still had to wait more than a month for the order to fill, as Vtech had not yet begun shipping the product. Finally received it last week and this new model is well worth the wait.

Very clean minimalist appearance with a feature-rich menu that I found to be intuitive. I did not need to refer to the owner's manual to set it up. The sound is crystal-clear with a very strong interference-free signal. I especially like the fact that the base unit antenna and the handset antennae are completely internal...not even a stub. The base unit uses touch pad technology - no buttons. Any handset can access messages from the answering machine...no more requirement to access them from the base unit. Intercom, conference call and call transfer functions are simple and straightforward. Handset backlighting is good with all keys easily readable.

We are very satisfied with this unit and the only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is because as advanced as it is, the base unit has no battery back-up in the event of a power failure. Once the power returns, one must reenter the date/time. It's not difficult and all other memory settings remain intact, but it simply should not be necessary. Aside from that little nit, I recommend this new model unit without reservation.

3.0 out of 5 stars NICE PHONE BUT ---, August 11, 2009

Lets face it, the phone is really nice looking. Has all the bling you could ever want - slim modern design, digital output, phonebook, a variety of ringers, easy set up. My only issue with it is that the volume cannot be adjusted higher. At its highest output level, I have to strain to hear who is on the other side of the call. They should have given the user a wider volume output so that the user can adjust as he/she sees fit. Other than that, it is a nice phone, but it is a bummer when you can't hear the other person on the phone!

I love these phone sets. I've bought two of them. Because I live next door to a radio station, I can never get good reception on any phone, and these are no exception, but since the batteries went out, I went ahead and upgraded to the latest, better model, hoping that maybe something would improve. It's not the fault of the phone. HOWEVER, the batteries on BOTH sets of these phones lasted about one month. I was really annoyed, but when I went to the website to look at replacing the batteries, I was really, really unhappy. THE BATTERIES COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE PHONES. That did it. I wrote to them: Your phones rock, your batteries suck. Need I say I never got a response? Buyer, beware.
