Rating: - * Very very very poor range!!! Don't buy! Buy DCT756-3 instead. ... I've bought one DCT756-3 (2.4 GHz) for my mother in law before. It's great. I was expecting DXI5586-3 to be even better, since it's 5.8 GHz. It's not! DXI5586-3 has a very poor range. Any 900 MHz cordless phone you can buy for US$ 10 is better than DXI5586-3. Don't buy it. You'll waste your money and your time. You'd better buy an old DCT756-3, which is much better. Rating: - * Excellant product. ... Right out of the box easy to use, just charge the batteries. Excellant construction, good sturdy phone. Crystal clear reception. Range is good as well as you move away from the base, however outside, you are subject to interference from outside sources. 2 additional handsets require nothing additional in way of programming or operating. Just plug and go. Ease of transferring calls from handset to handset is one button great. Definetly recommend this phone. This is my fourth purchase of uniden and I have never had any trouble with them and they are good quality products. Rating: - * best mix of multiple handsets and price ... I don't have enough usage to give a functionality report, but for the money and customer satisfaction reviews, this set had the most handsets for the price, with the best average review. Rating: - * Absolute Garbage--DO NOT BUY!!! ... Someone in my family bought these phones to replace the 2 handset system we had when 1 of those 2 handsets stopped working. The phones do work and are able to make/receive calls. However, besides that they are useless. They do not have speakerphone (which is quite useful when you are on hold for 5+ minutes). Also, you can't talk on more than 1 handset at a time (which is quite useful when 2 people in the house both want to be talking to someone, usually a relative). So if you want a completely basic phone set with no frills or extra features, go ahead and buy it. If you want something useful, please do the research that my family member did not do and shop for something else. Rating: - * Convenient, great price ... How anyone could think that just because you are purchasing multiple handsets you could make several calls at once is beyond me. You would need to have multiple phone lines in the house, not phones. The purpose of the multihandsets is convenience, ie... I put one by my TV chair so that I don't have to get up and go into the kitchen to answer the phone; I also keep another one in the laundry area. They are cordless and no jack is required for the handsets. Very convenient, with teens who are always walking off with my phone, we can't have too many phones in the house. |
