4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Choice for an Economical Cordless Phone, September 6, 2002

By	Jack Frecker "i-luv-amazon-dot-com" (Tucson, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Note: October 2002 Consumers Reports rates the Uniden EXI376 HS (head set) as a CR Best Buy! It is their top model without an answerer.

This EXI376 is my second Uniden cordless telephone. The other is a TRU346, a fine 2.4 GHz instrument, selling for about $50. I bought this one, the EXI376, as an economical replacement for a cord-type bedroom phone that failed to operate after over ten years of use. I am happy with my choice.

Amazon's product listing here is very sketchy. It tells next to nothing about this device. It is a modest 900 MHz cordless phone with a ten-number AND NAME dialing memory, one-number redial and one-number RocketDial, for twelve stored-numbers total. It has a thirty-number caller ID, and can place a call from this list. Like many, most or all Unidens it displays the number to be called on a viewing screen for the caller to review for accuracy before placing the call. No more wrong numbers.

I have had some bad luck in the past with cordless telephones. One never did operate; one lasted only two months; a current one of another brand is in use in our guest room, but is inferior in all respects to the EXI376. The last cordless would work for only ten minutes before its battery went dead. The TRU346 revealed to me Uniden quality, and I would now buy no other brand.

Reception is clear and audible. It tends to be too loud, but the instrument has a volume control. It is slightly noisy to listen to, noisier than the TRU346, but is acceptable. People I have called say my voice sounds fine to them, as good as on any telephone. Our microwave oven does not create noise on either end of the call, but the computer does. The TRU346 was not usable with the microwave running, because the base unit is installed on top of the microwave (my bad). Battery life of the EXI376 appears satisfactory, at present. I used it for one long call, and experienced no dead-battery difficulties.

Range is modest, no better or worse than others we have had, except for a DSS 900MHz that failed for other reasons. That one would work at a distance of about a city block. This EXI376 works with the handset anywhere on our small residential lot, but fails to communicate when I carry it two houses down the street.

In summary, the EXI376 is an excellent choice for those who want an economical cordless 900MHz telephone. There are better phones available if you want to pay more money, but if you do not want to spend between fifty and two-hundred dollars, consider the EXI376. I give it a five-star rating for price and quality, but reduce the rating to only four-stars because of the slightly scratchy reception. That may be unfair to Uniden and Amazon, because I would buy another EXI376 without hesitation if I needed another.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad at all, for the price, June 3, 2003

By	Eduardo Nietzsche (Houston) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Love the 3 line LCD display which lets you store numbers AND names, just like a cell phone...remember the old "memory" phones which had something like 20 individual memory preset buttons and you had to WRITE on little tabs next to them?

It wouldn't hurt if they used more powerful batteries so you could really crank up the earpiece volume, but this seems to be almost universal across the industry, and many of Uniden's competitors---especially GE, AT&T, and VTech are known to have even worse sound quality. I chose this one after giving away a 2.4 GHz Uniden phone which had INFERIOR sound quality---until they finally get the 2.4 GHz technology right, I'd strongly recommend sticking to the trusty (and much cheaper) 900 MHz frequencies!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cordless Phone, January 11, 2003

By	Heather Castonguay (MA United States) - See all my reviews

This inexpensive cordless phone does the job! It is great for the price.
Pros that satisfy our family:
The stand is not too large and the caller id screen faces out on the holder so it is easy to see who is calling.
Cons that annoy my family:
If you press the up and down buttons to check your messages and you have not pressed the menu button first, the phone will ring. At first we thought someone was calling! Also, the phone has a choice of 2 rings at a high or low tone, sounds good but the sounds are annoying.
The quality of the phone is nothing to complain about, though. I have been quite happy with how quickly it charges and the sound quality of the calls.
I recommend this phone because it is an inexpensive phone device you can take with you anywhere on your property.
Good luck,
Heather
