Description:

Uniden's EXP9750 is a basic 900 MHz cordless phone and digital answering machine combo that doesn't have a lot of frills but also doesn't cost a lot. We were most impressed with the answering machine, which has features that some other phones in this category lack, such as a time and day stamp. Although it can only record about 15 minutes of audio, the machine easily records conversations and stores memos that roommates and family members can play back when they get home. Using a PIN number, you can access messages when you're on the road. The unit can also be used as a room monitor, so you can hear what your kids (or the babysitter) is up to while you are away.

The handset isn't too shabby, either. It delivers good sound quality and a respectable range. It's possible to store 10 speed-dial numbers in the handset's memory; three "one-touch priority" keys on the bottom act as shortcuts for the speed-dial numbers assigned to the "1," "2," and "3" keys. The phone operates on a range of 40 channels, and there's a button included to manually change channels if conversations are a little fuzzy. You can mount the base unit either horizontally or vertically. While the base does not include a keypad, it does offer a speakerphone. If you don't use caller ID or any of the other services that require an advanced phone, the EXP7950 should meet your needs nicely. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

  • Answering machine has some nice features
  • Phone clarity and range are good for a unit in this price range

Cons:

  • Can't make calls from the base unit's speakerphone
  • The "1-touch priority" keys are basically worthless
