Not very good. [Posted on 2007-10-08]
I have owned this phone for about 1 year. The answering machine is now full of static. Most messages left I cannot understand. Also, from the beginning I could be sitting a few feet from the base and if I turned my head wrong the line would be full of static.
Yet another crummy phone [Posted on 2007-11-29]
Bought this about a year ago. Despite the two handset bases placed in optimum conditions, we couldn't get a signal in over half of a 2400 sq' one-level house. The call quality was static-filled unless you were standing in the same room as the base unit. Battery life degraded quickly; 6 months in, I had to buy a pair of replacement rechargeables. They've also lasted 6 months and both handsets resumed beeping low battery warnings 10 seconds into the call before abruptly ending the connection. If you press handset buttons or pick the handset up off the answering machine during message playback (say, to start punching in the phone number as your caller recites them), the message playback stops. What a miserable phone and into the bin it goes. I'll never buy Uniden again.
Only one at a time.. [Posted on 2007-12-07]
The DXAI 5588-2 has many nice features. However, I've purchased many cordless phones in years past and never had a set of 2 that you could not use together. If you are upstairs and your wife takes a call for you downstairs, the upstairs Uniden phone is useless because only one phone can be used for incoming calls.
A Rip-Off [Posted on 2008-04-27]
This is the first -- and last -- time I have purchased a Uniden phone. My neighbor and I saw these on sale at Home Depot, and bought them at the same time. She returned hers within a few weeks of setting it up, said she didn't like it. I should have tried mine right away. I had bought it as an "extra," since my Panasonic 2.4 GH set was older & I didn't know how long it would last. I recently moved to a larger home and set the Uniden phone up. What an awful product. Callers could barely hear me, there was static on the line (oops, must have been that fluorescent energy-saving light in the kitchen), and the incoming sound wasn't all that great. I didn't bother to try to return it -- the purchase was over a year ago. But you'd think that Uniden tech support would stop trying to say it's a problem with where the phone is used. I doubt the other 49 reviewers all live in identical homes in one neighborhood! My Panasonic phone set is still working fine, and I bought another Panasonic -- a DECT set -- to replace this flawed piece of junk. You get what you pay for. No more Uniden phones for me --
Is there a worse phone anywhere? [Posted on 2008-06-07]
The only good thing about this phone is if you want to reduce the amount of time you are spending on the phone, because after 30 seconds of trying to talking through the static you will want to get off the phone. DO NOT BUY.
