Uniden CLX485

Pros: excellent sound, reliable product, speed dial on handset, expandable to 10 handsets, walkie talkie feature

Cons: Can't think of any really. Maybe the display area gets smudged easily?

The Bottom Line: Splendid product! If you can get a super price on it then it makes it all the sweeter.

Review: I have been a big fan of Uniden for some time now. Our previous phone was their TRU5885. That was a good phone but this CLX485 is EXCELLENT!!! It is a superb system. We purchased ours at Best Buy about a month ago (January 13, 2006) as a bundle ...

Pros: Uniden has produced a high quality, very secure cordless, packed with great features.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: If you want a versatile and durable cordless phone, that can double as a walkie/talkie for safety concerns, you can't do better than the Uniden CLX485.

Review: We had been looking for a more secure cordless phone for awhile, when we stopped into Best Buy. The saleswoman showed us the Uniden Uniden TRU8865-2 5.8GHz Expandable System Cordless Phone Cordless Phone, DSS, 5.8 GHz band, Single Line Operation, 10 ...

Pros: It's the only phone that has all the required features (see text).

Cons: none.

The Bottom Line: Get this phone. You know why? Because as I explained above, every other phone out there is lacking some feature, the CLX485 is the only complete system.

Review: OK people, there's no other 5.8 GHz phone out there that has all the required features like the clx485. Here's what I'm talking about: 1. answering machine. 2. speaker phone in base and handset. 3. base dial key-pad. 4. color screen in handset with ...

Pros: Sound quality and features

Cons: I wish the intercom would allow you to announce over the speaker

Review: We've had this phone since Christmas, plus 2 of the matching monochrome accessory phones (TCX 400). It works very well in all aspects. Sound quality is terrific, no range problems between upstairs or downstairs use, lots of fun and useful features, and ...

Pros: expandability, sound quality, backlit keypad, quality construction, computer connectivity, handset answering machine playback.

Cons: Orange monochrome display, short battery life, consumables pricey

The Bottom Line: good buy, better feature set and quality than most of the competition

Review: Did a lot of research before buying a replacement for my old uniden which finally curled up its toes after years of non-stop personal and home business use. Learned to avoid Vtech phones (battery issues)and the other phones I tried (GE & ATT) ...

Pros: Very customizable, sleek & attractive looks, call quality, earpiece volume, monitor feature ~

Cons: GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN * They've already hit clearance shelves in major retailers ~

The Bottom Line: As I said, if you need a new phone system now...Get it while you can, for this system seems to be headed out the door ~

Review: After enough instances of our older 2.4 Ghz system interrupting our wireless system when my talkative sister-in-law called, we finally plunged into the Uniden CLX-485 after Staples put them on sale. It's been a few weeks of calls and playing with the new ...

Pros: Nice looks, color screen, photo id, add custom sounds, USB

Cons: Short range, poor battery life

Review: I have had this phone for close to three years, in that time I have had to replace the battery three times. Very poor battery life, the batteries from Uniden are expensive, recommend EBAY or ...

Pros: Color handsets, keypad/speakerphone on base and handset, Transfer contacts and Access messages from any handset!

Cons: TERRIBLE reception!

The Bottom Line: Don't buy this phone if you have a multilevel home or plan to take the handset outside!

Review: I've only owned this phone for 3 months or so. It has all the bells and whistles. I absolutely love the fact that I can check my messages from any handset as well as program all handsets together rather than inputting all the contacts one by one. It ...

Pros: Attractive phone, nice design and advanced features, including an intercom. Very clear answering machine.

Cons: Lack of range directly impacts functionality. It simply doesn't work well.

Review: The answering machine is good quality with a plethora of features that I don't particularly need. What I really did need was a cordless phone with good range. I thought, incorrectly as it turned out, that a system that can take up to 10 extensions would ...

Pros: All the features a special agent would want.

Cons: To many features confusing. Battery time is low. Distance sucks. Phone breaks in short time.

The Bottom Line: Good features, but distance and battery time are not very good at all. I would take it back to the store, but it's been to long. Breaks after short time.

Review: I have added an update to my posting below. With most of my reviews I consider the durability of the product as a factor when I purchase something. I also try to consider the customer service when I contact the company. I had been looking for a ...
