Summary: Want lousy sound quality? Buy a Uniden!
Review: I bought this model (refurbished) and it looks nothing like the picture here -- actually, it's black and quite cool-looking. Too bad it doesn't work as well as it looks. I thought the Uniden name would pretty much guarantee a quality product. What a rude surprise I got when I hooked up this baby.

For one thing, the microphone is in a tiny little hole practically on the underside of the base. To get a decent, hiss-free recording, I actually had to lift up the base and bring the microphone to my lips to record my own greeting! The sound quality of the messages left on the machine is very poor, lots of hiss and so low that you have to crank the volume up to 8 or 10 to make out what the callers are saying. This is digital?

As for the handset, the echo of your own voice in your ear as you're trying to carry on a conversation with a caller is extremely annoying. In short, this machine is poorly designed, badly engineered and of very low quality, and I will never, NEVER throw my money away on another Uniden product again.
