This is the second unit Im buying of this model. I havent been a big fan of Uniden products, but this has been outstanding. The setup and ease of use is very good. The buttons are all in the right place, and its easy to hit the desired control quickly. The sculpted buttons have a nice feel and feedback is good. The overall comfort and heft of the handset makes it a pleasure to use. The sound quality is the best Ive seen, and the range is surprisingly good... say 200' through several walls. Ive dropped, kicked, dunked, washed, and generally abused the handset far beyond what I think a phone should be able to take, and it's taken it all in stride. The answering system, while far from CD quality, doesnt have that annoying nasal garble typical of most digital systems, and has plenty of memory. Selective playback and deletion of messages is intuitive. Fast recharge and days of standby battery life so it doesnt have to go back on its cradle often, and the pager/finder is nice and loud so you can find it when it doesnt. I like the styling and the small footprint doesnt take up much counter space in a crowded kitchen. Only tiny flaw is that the flash button is hard to find and doesnt engage long enough to switch over on call waiting; its probably programmable if I took the time to read the manual. By far the best cordless phone Ive ever used.

Have not had much experience with cordless phones, but this Uniden phone is very easy to use and the sound quality is very good. I especially like the Auto Answer feature where a call is answered by just lifting the handset out of the base.
Have also gotten several compliments on the looks of the whole unit.

In my opinion, this is a good feature packed phone.

I have this same phone but without the answering machine and I love it. It's really wonderful. NOt sure what that other person is referring to because I've never had those problems. It could be his calling area or some other problem. The phone is crystal clear and so far very reliable.

It's everything a phone should be--clear, convenient, holds its charge well, etc.. I like the feel of the handset. However, the speakerphone .... It's in the base unit, so if you are dreaming of putting the handset down for hands-free use while you cook in the kitchen or whatever, dream on. Only one person can speak at a time with the speakerphone--if one person is on the handset and another on the base speakerphone (a common arrangment when my wife and I are phoning family), the speakerphone cuts off while someone else speaks. That is, you can hear them, but they can't hear you until everyone shuts up and waits a second or two for the speakerphone to turn back on.

I bought one new. Terrible interference when using a headset. Returned/ replaced. Terrible interence persisted. Terrible phone- stick to the 900 mhz.

I returned this phone as it had an annoying echo/reverb sound when speaking into it. Listening to others speaking to me--well--they sounded great. But when I spoke there was this nasal, echo, sound of my own voice--I just could not stand to hear it!!!! Others listening, had no such sound. Quality to them was great. I bought a panasonic KX-TG2563 (which the sound quality is the best!). Problem solved! But this phone does not have an answering machine--I use a separate machine--as I did not like the quality of the panasonic answering machine system. The two I bought (KX-TG2583 and KX-TG2670N) had a "grown sound" between messages, when playing the messages back? I returned both.

Have had this phone for 8-10 years, and have never had a phone this good. The only drawback is that the answering machine comes on after the fourth ring. Sometime it's hard to find that soon. Would give it 5 stars.

I bought this phone and another Uniden phone just over a year ago to replace two old cordless AT&T phones I have had for almost 10 years. They both worked fairly well for a few months, not as good reception as the old phones, but no complaints. Now however, most of the buttons on this one don't work anymore. I have to call from saved numbers or put the phone down and use an object to press very hard on the numbers. Also, a huge complaint...the batteries die VERY quickly. Pieces of junk. My friend who had bought a Uniden right before me recommended it to me...hers is not working well anymore either. I just bought 2 new AT&T phones...hopefully they are as good as my old ones!

I have owned many cordless phones in my life and this one is the worssssst! It is not user friendly at all. I also found myself hearing a double conversation of what I was saying even after changing the channel several time which by the way was a feat in itself! I strongly discourage anyone from purchasing this model of Uniden phone. I have since replaced it with another phone by Uniden!
