Summary: Looks good, sound quality poor
Review: Nice looking, compact, easy set up but sound quality is very poor. I have excellent hearing but must have NO background noise when talking on this phone or I cannot hear the person I'm speaking to. I also have to strain to hear the answering machine (and have silence for that as well) and the answering machine playback is always garbled and hard to understand. I was very disappointed. I bought this phone for that very reason - I guess I'm going to have to break down and just get voice mail through the phone company.
The redial is ridiculous too - going through an obscure menu to find redial takes longer than just redialing the number. Why didn't they just put a redial button on the phone?

Summary: Uniden products rock!
Review: This is the second Uniden phone I have purchased and I love them both. They are easy to set up and use. Can't go wrong with this product!

Summary: Piece of Junk
Review: This phone is unusable. Looks nice, but unusable. There is a horrible echo when you speak. It sounds like a half duplex phone - people's voices cut out on the other end when you start speaking on your end. Just horrible.I wish I could find a usable cordless phone w/ answering machine.

Summary: Nice Features - Annoying Sound
Review: This would be a great pone except for one big problem: when you talk, the earpiece quiets down and cuts out just like talking on speakerphone. The volume in the earpiece is constantly fluctuating. I guess that's because each handset can be a speakerphone (a feature which works quite well... better than most speakerphones). But it was just too annoying more me so I had to return it. Otherwise it has many many features. Useless features like a giant phonebook, the ability to check the answering machine from any handset, and other silly gadgets mostly found on cell phones like playing Fur Elise for a ring tone. It seems built really well but it's just not worth the extra money.

Summary: Great basic phone and answering machine
Review: We purchased this phone/answering machine and were able to set it up and begin using it in just minutes. For those of us who do not want to spend outrageous amounts of time learning complicated technology, this is an idea product: simple to use, but with all the features we needed. Also, the price is unbeatable.

Summary: Nice Features, Bad Sound Quality
Review: What a terrible phone. It's reasonably priced, attractive, and has great features, and I really wanted to love it... BUT the sound quality is horrific. For some reason, the volume in the handset fluctuates based on the sound coming from your end. So when you speak, the sound mutes on the other side for a couple seconds, then comes back (which you can track easily because of the ample background static). It's like talking on walkie-talkies. After discovering this problem, I then bought a similar Uniden model (DCT5285) to see if the original phone was defective or if the problem was with the DCT line in general. Sad to say, the DCT5285 had the exact same problem. Bottom line: bad line of phones. I've had good luck previously with the Uniden TRU3465 phones, so I won't write off Uniden altogether -- just the DCT phones.
