- Love this - owned it for more than a year
Will this jinx my answering machine and phones?! I have owned this for over a year and am extremely happy with it. I have six units in addition to the one with the answering machine. I can take the receiver outdoors and still stay connected. I needed a system that could be expanded and it has met all of my needs.

- Very poor range
Simply No excuse for the fact that the range on this unit is very poor.
A voltage fluctuation burned the base-unit for my old Uniden set - not sure of the model# - but those came free with SunRocket in 2005 - so yes old - and with a stubby antenna on the handsets. But the old Unidens worked like a charm - no problems in any corner of our apartment - loved them.
hence I went for Unidens again - hoping that the new model would be at least as good as the old ones if not better - but NO!
There are lots of "blank spots" in our apt. where the reception just drops ... and even when I'm in range - the sound clarity is suspect ... with occasional clicks and hisses.
Not sure if we got a lemon - but definitely not happy!
And not a biggie but it is sad that the voltage adapter for Uniden is only 120V compliant!!

- functions good, range poor
all things are pretty good except for poor range.I've got a vtech 5.8g that's 5 yrs old and does better than this.it does not reach across my house let alone up/down floors. it's to the recycle bin for these guys.

- Bad product & lousy customer service
I purchased this phone and it stopped functioning less than 2 days out of the box. The spare handset wouldn't register to the main base. After contacting Uniden and waiting 3 days for a reply their suggestion failed - I tried it 4 times. They then proceed to inform me that after paying the full price for the phone, that in order for the to fix their broken product I would have to pay $10. It took more than a week to get to that point.
There are lots of good reviews on this phone, but God help those who have to deal with Uniden. I would not recommend anyone buy this product.
Rating: - Crappy Battery Charge
I really like this phone system and it's features but i had to give it a 3 because the battery life is absolutely horrible. The phone that i keep on my desk is never used. I can fully charge it, take it off the cradle for one day maybe a day and a half and the charge indicator will go down to 2/3's. So basically it has become one of those phones that has to be constantly left of the charger.
This unit replaced a Panasonic that would hold a charge for days, whether it was being used or not. Sorry but this will be my last Uniden phone.
