CLX475-3 Digital Cordless Telephone with 3 Handsets and Answering System Reviews
This phone system is being used in a home with 6 bedrooms and is great. No more do the kids walk @ the house yelling for one another and the 5 year old doesn't have to go fetch siblings. Pageing is nice and the other features are nice as well.
Sound quality (on the other end) is clear but a little hollow-sounding. The handsets will periodically go silent for a second or two while they reconnect, even at fairly short range from the receiver. Not too beepy (we had a Vtech previously that drove me nuts).
Doesn't happen very often, though. Room monitoring (aka baby monitoring) feature works well. Nice feature set, nice price.
(Still haven't gotten around to exchanging it). One of the four batteries in our kit has never managed to hold a charge. Haven't tried the headset jack yet, which was one of the reasons why I got this one.
Other than the battery, this phone system was fantastic. A major concern for most homeowners is the battery for cordless phones. I will no longer by phones with the Nickle Metal Hidride batteries. They are consistently causing problems. After a while, the 'memory' on the battery causes it not to be able to be recharged. No sound problems, had all the features I wanted. No more than 10 seconds into the call, the phone is 'low battery'. I have had my phone system now for a couple years and took the phone off the charger (which has been there for about 24 hours) and placed a single call.
I can't believe this is their solution. I contact uniden support and the solution I got from them is to manually change the time. uniden CLX475-3 does not support the new daylight saving time.
The Phonebook is by name you enter, not a #. We bought this phone set to standardize our phones in our home. We bought two more (the TCX-905s) for it. Bunch of neat features in this phone, the fact you can expand to 10 handsets is great. The sound is very clear, loud enough if you're not watching loud TV, and it picks up sounds well. OH, I also love the different ring tones, not traditional phone rings at all.
We haven't played with the Outlook updating. We also have a wireless network so wanted to upgrade to the 5.8 only. It'd be nice to be able to have at least two listening in. Better than the 900Mhz ones we just replaced. These phones are more like cell phones than last generation phones.
Easy to add the expansion phones. Rather than get phones AND new monitors, I found that this model (and most of Uniden's)have a Room Monitor function. Also, our FP baby monitor just had one unit die. The phone doesn't.
I'll start by saying I LOVE the Room Monitoring function. I haven't yet tried the phone range. GOod deal here if you want nice features. We keep the handset about 7 feet from my son's crib, and I can hear him turn over with this. So we got these to give them a try. Nice deal this bundle. Hope I can update this later.
The ONE drawback to the Room Monitoring feature is only ONE handset can be listening at a time. You have to end the monitoring on that handset before another one can. There's a soft one for use when the baby is sleeping, and then you can mute the one in the baby's room. You can actually send phonebook entries from one handset to another, like 'magic'. Sound quality is good, even with our everpresent line hum. We used it at night to hear him, and it was just as good, if not better, than the baby monitor we had which had alot of hiss. The range of the monitoring seems here to be about 250 feet.
