2.0 out of 5 stars keep looking..., July 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: VTech 9161 Analog 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Caller ID (Black) (Office Product)

This phone has a horrible sound quality - it is always hissing and fuzzy. The features are all pretty nice, except you can't get the phone book to go in alphabetical order - it is all in the random order you put the numbers in which is very inconvenient. The caller id was great, but the little screen-cover kept flopping off as soon as I started using the phone. I am returning this phone today!

1.0 out of 5 stars AWFUL!, November 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: VTech 9161 Analog 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Caller ID (Black) (Office Product)

This phone has horrible sound quality -- conversations are turned to "huh?", "what?"... after 8 months of wrangling with VTech, they finally sent me a 2468 model which is MUCH better sound quality. I wouldn't buy another 9161 if my life depended on it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible sound quality, June 30, 2002

Katie (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: VTech 9161 Analog 900 MHz Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System and Caller ID (Black) (Office Product)

All I can say is that the phone has horrible sound quality and it is annoying to talk on it. Lots of crackles and hissing. I would highly recommend NOT buying this phone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inferior quailty
This phone is obviously a cheaply made product. It yet again proves that you usually get what you pay for.
