Uniden CXAI5698 5.8 GHz Extended Range Corded/Cordless Phone and Answering System Reviews
The corded part of the telephone lasted less than a year. From the moment we got it, it had issues. All in all, a poor telephone. The other problem was the materials the phone was composed of. This occurred even after trying to adjust the volumes.
We purchased this phone less than a year ago. The product base would not stay on so the corded part of the phone was always tipping over. It was defintely made of inferior plastic. It wasn't adjustable. The volume level of the tones when you dialed was always very loud, but when the call went through the volume of the call was extremely low.
It felt as if it was going to break every time you handled it. I would not recommend it to anyone. I finally ended up throwing it out last week after the volume finally gave out and nothing could be heard on it.
The corded handset earpiece is a little uncomfortable on the ear and the cordless unit seems to pick up cell phone "buzz" more often than I'd like, but, again, these problems are minor. The only things I don't like are minor. Overall, I'm pleased with this product.
Loud and soft sound pretty much exactly the same. The call-waiting notifier is highly distracting, especially compared to our previous phone, as it is very loud and causes the person you are speaking to to drop out completely, meaning you are left with holes in your conversation. This is not only a problem because there goes any discreet calling you might need to do, but because we have pets and the high pitched nature of the dial tone is very agitating to our pets. Additionally, the sound quality seems to be very poor as everything sounds muted and far away no matter how loud the handset volume is up. In addition to that there is no way to turn of the touch pad key tone. I called customer service and they told me there was no function to turn this off and I would have to buy a different model if I wanted that capability.
I absolutely do not recommend this phone. The menus are confusing, there are only three volume settings for the ringer - loud, soft, and off. I am not one to review things on Amazon so I must say I feel pretty strongly about this phone. And this is just the base and corded part of the phone, it terrifies me to think of the quality level of the cordless handset, which I have yet to bother trying. This means that everyone knows when I have picked up the phone to make a call because they can hear me dialing clear as day, from across the room. We recently replaced our old phone with those one because it had caller id. This seems to be about the only plus side of it so far.
Great phone. I love having a second phone that is portable and has it owns charging base. A+ I love this phone. It has so many features I have not been able to use them all.
Sometimes I can hear the caller, sometimes she can hear me, sometimes neither of us can hear the other. It's that simple. If you are going to leave the phone lying around anywhere and everywhere, buy another charger to put in the handset's most likely "second home." This is a good rule for all cordless phones, not just this model. However - this model is very disappointing. Try one of them instead of this.
You'll pay a good deal more, but you won't have to buy another phone in a year. I'll be keeping this for emergencies, but it's going in the storage closet once my new phone arrives. After less than a year, though, it started dropping out on one end or both at the same time, without warning or predictability. I haven't suffered the problems others mention with the cordless handset, but then I follow a simple rule - keep the charger where you are most likely to keep the handset, and put the handset in the charger when you are not using it. I've heard the higher-end Unidens, like the DECT2088, are solid.
This model seemed a good value for the money at first. Short battery life is a pain, but short memory is the real culprit here.
