Not the sound quality Uniden is known for

 

Above all else, I want my cordless phone to sound as clear as a corded one. Some I've used make tha ...

Compact, pleasing industrial design.

Inadequate sound quality.

Not bad, but not great either

 

I bought this phone about two and a half years ago at Costco for probably around $120. I was already using a Panasonic 2.4GHz phone which was working fine, but since I was then buying a wireless network that also ran on 2.4GHz, I figured I should play...

Speaker phone hand-set, retrieve messages from the hand-set

Range isn't great, tinny sound

Dont waste your cash!

 

I returned my last Uniden phone four times for repair within the first 12 months and gave up finally demanding a phone that worked. I bought this product because it was billed as the top of the range and I assumed it would work. What a disappointment. ...

The phone looks good and the orange display is catchy.

Unreliability and design faults sufficient to render it a dud.

This great looking phone attracted my attention.

 

About 20 years ago I had purchased Uniden cordless phone and despite the extra long telescopic antenna, I couldn't get more than 10 ft from the base. But that was 1982 and no cordless phone worked perfect. Over the years I witnessed new phones showing ...

Great looking phone, equipped with 2 handsets, push to talk option and answering machine

Very poor range and a lot of static. Extremely rude customer service.

you can only use one handset at a time

 

This will be a sort review of this phone for me because we returned it 2 days after we bought it. The major problem we had with this phone is that when we got a call and i tried to pick up the secound phone and it would not pick up. doing a little ...

5.8 GHz and it does work as a phone

only one handset at a time can be used, poor documentation

Don't Waste Your Money

 

I recently purchased this product from Best Buy about 6 to 9 months ago and paid over $200 and I must say that I am completely disappointed in the product's quality. The handset battery life is dismal. After charging overnight after completely running ...

Looks slick

Dismal battery life in handset, useless base speaker and cost

I think you will be very happy with this Uniden!

 

I purchased a Uniden TRU 5865-2 phone via Sears the week of 12-11-03 because I recently switched to phone company supplied voice mail and needed a phone with a voice mail indicator light. The good news about the Uniden TRU 5865-2: Sound ...

Sound quality, range, lack of interference by other appliances/electronic equipment.

Not expandable, no ability to conference call with the two handset phones.

Good value, good quality

 

Wanted a 5.8 ghz phone to replace a 900 mhz model, skipped 2.4 ghz range to avoid interference with in home wi-fi set up. Also wanted Caller ID but did not need digital answering feature since we have SBC Voice mail. This was a second choice which I...

Sounds great, true 5.8 ghz, 2 handsets in the box!

Wish you could synchronize the address books between phones.

What Were They Thinking?

 

No interference from my wireless video camera, wireless computer network, or microwave. No audio cho ...

Sound quality.No protruding antenna.Orange backlight.

Terrible TERRIBLE function key layout.Proprietary batteries.

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Great Looking, feature-packed phone

 

Over the last decade, Uniden's reputation for quality went from the top to almost bottom and back up toward the top again. The TRU5885-2's masculine design is very hi-tech/ retro in its black & silver motif. With its large round speaker and LED...

Clarity, features, range, sleek design

Price, sound level, not available in 2-line model, 2 handsets max.
