This review is from: Uniden DECT1588-2 DECT 6.0 Corded/Cordless Digital Answering System with Dual Keypad and Two Cordless Handsets (Office Product)

I purchased these phones to replace one with a few less features but was very good quality. My older developed a problem in the answering machine part. I shopped around looking for phones that had "speaker" phone capabilities on all of the units, the corded base and two cordless extensions. The phones offered the features I wanted but aren't very good quality with respect to sound or operation. The cordless phones have to stay reasonably close to the base or the received signal fades in and out. I'm not talking about taking it outside, I mean in the next room and within sight of the base. The speaker phone sound quality is fairly good on the base unit but marginal on the cordless units. That might be because of the issue of not working well when a little distance away from the base. It does have lighted keypads on the cordless phones, a nice feature that isn't on the base. The base does have a display screen that illuminates when the handset is picked up. All in all, the phones work alright, I was just a bit disappointed in the sound and distance issues. I tried to save a few dollars purchasing phones with a lot of nice features and they do have several nice ones. I could have spent more money and bought better qality but that's true of any product on the market.

Would I recommend this phone? Yes, if you have a limited budget and want to be frugal, buy it. It works and works dependably and I suppose that's all that matters. I am spoiled because it isn't quite as good as the one it replaced.

All and all I'm pretty happy with this purchase. The price was right, easy to set up and use , and so far (I bought this phone about 6 months ago) no problems. I haven't experienced any distance problems like someone else mentioned. We take the handsets outside and pretty far from the base without any loss of sound quality.

The only gripe I have is that the handsets don't ring very loud. The corded phone rings loud. Other than that, I would recommend this phone.

We purchased this phone to replace our old Uniden. We wanted the DECT 6 technology for the clearer sound, and that was a big improvement over our old phone. We, also, wanted a built-in corded phone, but not for the advertised reason (Power-Outage capability), we wanted it because "I" could never fid a hand set when the phone rang, but with this phone I know there will always be one stuck to the base.

If you're looking for a useful tool with high tech features and reasonable quality and price, you'll be happy you've purchased this phone.
