Uniden DXAI5588-2

Pros: Great features

Cons: Backlight does not stay on long and Caller ID is hard to read

The Bottom Line: My phone is great! No static at all, I love the features and I would highly recommend it.

Review: Just a quick review on this one. I am absolutely shocked at the reviews here! I guess I was lucky and got one of the "good" ones. I have had this phone since November 2004 and used it for both home, and a home-based business. I bought it because the ...

Pros: Durable..very durable..large buttons

Cons: standard ringers. performs like a 2.4 ghz system

The Bottom Line: Great for people who are hard on phones, standard unit but the most durable phone I have ever seen.

Review: We purchased this phone set several years ago from Sams wholesale for around 39.99. Though this model lacks any real modern features it is able to withstand extensive abuse. We have dropped one of the phones in the bathtub, off a balcony and ran over the ...

Pros: 2 handsets, answering machine, call screening, and easy to function.

Cons: Wish the backlight was orange instead of green.

Review: This model is an awesome phone. I can get out to my mail box and over to my neighbors house. Static free for me. This is one of the better 5.8 ghz phones I've owned. A little FYI for everyone 5.8 ghz is the frequency not the strength if you have static ...

Pros: Cheap, won't erase messages when the power goes out

Cons: Static, illogical controls, static . . . did I mention static?

The Bottom Line: When I win the lottery the first thing I'm getting is new phones

Review: Why, oh why? I know what you’re thinking, “Scott, you’re on epinions all the time. Why, oh why did you buy this phone despite the eleven previous reviewer’s glowing ratings?” Well, we all make mistakes sometimes. Mine was to ...

Pros: Answering machine, call waiting/ID and extra phone

Cons: Bad reception.

Review: We bought this phone about a month ago and it's not worth the money. Unless you're sitting on top of the base, the phone has a lot of static and the people on the other end really have a hard time hearing you. I tried changing the channel (to get a ...

Pros: 2 handsets, no static.

Cons: Customer service is non-existant

Review: Phone worked ok for a year. The base stopped working after a big storm (perhaps fried). I called customer service and they said to send it in at our expense. Did that, got a note from them saying I needed to call. I called, it's $43.00 to fix it (it ...

Pros: Has a lot of good features.

Cons: Poor reception, couldn't leave the room the base was located.

Review: I bought the phone yesterday and I am going to return it tomorrow. If I leave the area the base is located I get a lot of static. I tried changing the channels, moving the base. I got Uniden website and tried troubleshooting. I still had a lot of ...

Pros: Features, answering machine, two phone package

Cons: Very poor reception.

Review: I bought this because it was on display all over Home Depot. I can't leave any of the rooms without static. ...

Pros: Compact, looks good, good price

Cons: Poor sound quality, poor range, doesnt work.

The Bottom Line: I would avoid this set and look elsewhere. Read all of the reviews below. Some are good but very few. Keep reading Epinions for a better phone!

Review: OK, OK, I know. I should have read Epinions first before purchasing these phones at Target. It seemed like such a good deal at the time. I needed two new cordless phones and an answering machine and these fit the bill, and they were for a good price. ...

Pros: The large buttons were a plus.

Cons: The outside of the box should state that the phone needs special requirements for placement.

The Bottom Line: Don't waste your time and money.

Review: I was warned to avoid Uniden phones by someone who is fairly electronically astute however most of the phones today have little teeny buttons and my hamfisted husband has an impossible time dialing out. The DXAI5588 has larger buttons so, wild woman ...
