I would purchase this item again. The sound quality (hearing and speaking) is excellent. I got it refurbished, and it cost me fifty. It has really nice features. I also got a 2-year extended warranty from squaretrade for seven. The phone does NOT interfere with my wireless devices. Great deal. The display is big and bright; the displays and buttons light-up when you press a button or if the phone rings.
The speakerphone (and intercom) feature on all phones and the base is really nice. Although I'm sure I could find some petty faults about the phone, I have no legitimate complaints. I purchased this phone from seller abcliquidators1 on ebay. The base plus all 3 phones work and look great. I bought the phone because of all the good reviews on amazon.
Because the answering unit picked up on the fourth ring, there were innumerable calls that ended up on the answering machine while someone was actually responding to the call. I purchased a Panasonic set and am thrilled with it; plus, my cable provider was not the problem.I would never recommend or purchase another Uniden product. That phone never rang the first time, and only sounded on the second ring. This system was designed to require you to listen or to go crazy.Recently, the phones began cutting out during calls or simply dropping calls.
Further, one extremely annoying feature was a continued beeping when there was a message. At first, I thought it might be due to switching to phone service through our TV cable provider. I bought Uniden because of the glowing reviews in Consumer Reports and on the Amazon site. However, the problem continued to worsen and having had enough, I dug out the sales receipt and took all the phones and base units back to the store where they were purchased. One unit was in our computer room; one could never answer a call on that phone. I purchased these (but with the 4 phones and then purchased an additional 2 units) 2 years ago at one of the big box warehouses.
What a mistake.From the very beginning, the phones' reception was poor. Another phone, including its base unit, was located in a room off the garage. Unfortunately, you couldn't turn off the beeping - you had to listen to the message to stop it. I can only say the customer service was first rate and my purchase price was refunded without question. I can't say enough about the poor quality of Uniden phones. If you answered the phone before it had completed two full rings, the phone dropped the call.
I hated that because there are times one just doesn't have time to go through the new messages and would like to delay things.
you wont be disappointed, worth every penny, intuitive menu system.the monitor and intercom functions rock.with a new baby in the house I can ask for a hand from the other end of the house, no shouting, no squirming out from under a sleeping baby to go get something, great speaker phone quality on the handsets and the base means you can change a diaper or do situps while you talk. Additionaly the phone has good weight, great reception and the built in answering machine eliminated two cords from my wall, it is also easy to use, don't scrimp get the three handsets.
Amazon and Uniden both get zero or fewer stars. About six weeks later the phone again spontaneously failed. I purchased this phone system from Amazon and it worked as advertised for about two weeks. Since the failure occurred within Amazon's 30 day replacement period, they sent a new phone system and we returned the defective system to Amazon. I followed Uniden's instructions to the letter and faxed them all information they requested. That was over two months ago and I have heard nothing from Uniden.So I called Amazon back as the Amazon agent had instructed me to do. Then we had a power 'blip' where we lost power for less than one second; we didn't even have to reset the microwave clock. The phone system spontaneously stopped working.
Since this failure occurred outside the Amazon 30 day period the Amazon rep gave me the Uniden phone number and told me to call Uniden which I did. The Amazon agent told me there was nothing they could do and told me I had to deal with Uniden. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.I gave this one star since it was impossible to give it zero stars. The base unit was plugged into a surge protector. The Uniden agent gave me instructions for obtaining a replacement.
THE UNIDEN TRU9485-3 5.8 GHz CORDLESS ANSWERING SYSTEM WITH DUAL KEYPADS AND 2 EXTRA HANDSETS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER GOTTEN. IT WORKS GREAT AND NOW I DON'T HAVE TO YELL TO MY HUSBAND WHEN HE YELLS TO ME.
