Summary: great phone-- so far
Review: I have read most of the reviews for this product and so far (only had it for about 45 days) I have not had the problems that some are reporting. I have experienced no background hum even at great distances from the base, excellent signal and voice clarity at 800 feet or so. No interference near computers or microwave ovens. A little cumbersome to add names/numbers to call list. Have to refer to instructions frequently to use many of the features. All things considered, I am happy with the phone.

Summary: It really really works, and it's well built. Handset is big.
Review: I have used a lot of cruddy phones over the years, both corded and cordless. This is the best built cordless phone I have ever come across. Sound quality is absolutely flawless, not a hint of interference. With other 900 MHz phones people used to ask me "is something wrong with your phone?" With this one they cannot tell I am on a cordless. And on my end, the sound is plenty loud and totally clear. The "spread spectrum" is an important security feature that makes it a lot harder for scumbags to eavesdrop on your phone call. That's important if you value your privacy and/or if you expect to be saying things like credit card numbers over the phone. The lighted keypad is very clear, feels good, and is easy to use. The buttons have a nice rubberized feel and are not undersized. The battery lasts and lasts. It seems I can leave the phone off the hook for days and it still works, or can make a 2 hour phone call with no problem. The trade-off for all this is that the handset is not small. In fact it's a bit clunky, probably the biggest cordless handset I have seen in the past two years. It works so well I scarcely mind, but if you're a person who likes to carry the phone all around the house just in case it rings, this model may be too big for you. The controls are labeled a little unconventionally. Guests to our house find it confusing that you have to press "Line 1" to talk, instead of just dialing, or having some clearer button label like "Talk". But once you learn how the controls work they make perfect sense and in fact seem rather clever. The speakerphone built into the base works too, but the sound of your voice is badly compromised, just like on most sub-... speakerphones. You won't want to use it much, and neither will whoever you are talking with. If I used the speakerphone feature much, the rating of this product would plummet. But I suspect most people, won't want to use it much.

Summary: If you like static, this is the phone for you...
Review: I ordered this phone and returned it. I wish I had paid more attention to the reviews about the noise. The static is more than just a mild annoyance. There are loud crackles that accompany the static. This phone ranked #1 with Consumer Reports, so I purchased it. I have serious doubts about the Consumer Reports testers on this one. Another bad thing is that the handset is extremely oversized. You need man hands to be able to get a good grip. This is the worst phone I have ever purchased!

Summary: If this were a car, it be a gas guzzl'n one
Review: I really like the features of this phone.
However, because of the power drain on the battery
(I have 2), I'd replace it in a heartbeat.

Summary: returned the phone
Review: I selected the Uniden EXS9966 primarily based on the reviews here to replace an ancient ATT cordless phone. At first I was pleased with the purchase, but eventually found one annoying and one fatal flaw. The line 1 and line 2 buttons are located at top of the phone, lining up with your cheekbone. I found that on several occassions I would inadvertantly hit the line2 button with my cheek and switch to line 2. After realizing that I had done this, I would have to select line1 and see what the person on the other end had been saying in the meantime. The real problem came when the outgoing volume dropped substantially. I isolated the problem to the phone but found no phone settings to control the outgoing volume. The Uniden customer service folks had no suggestions outside of sending the phone in for repairs. After spending the time to research the purchase and paying quite a bit for it, I was pretty disappointed that it had problems so soon and decided to return it to Amazon instead of getting it repaired. So, I geuss I was either unlucky here, or Uniden doesn't do a good job of quality assurance. I've since bought a Panasonic which works fine so far and doesn't have the line1/line2 design issue. Good luck!

Summary: Keypad problems after only 8 months of use
Review: IN general, I like this phone. The reception has always been terrific, and I've learned to live with a few usability quirks. Like another reviewer, I have also had the problem of accidentally hanging up on people because the hangup button is located right at the cheekbone. (I have this problem on another Uniden phone that I own, and my sister has this problem on her Uniden phone, too). But the problem that is sending me over the edge is that after only 8 months of light use, the "3" key on the handset has stopped working. I called Uniden this morning, and was told that I would have to box it up and send it in to be repaired, and that it would take about a month to get it back. Many companies that sell electronics will send you a new one, and will also pay for shipping for repair. For example, when I had a bum Palm Pilot, Palm sent me a new one overnight, along with a prepaid shipping envelop for returning the old one. That's good service. By contrast, it seems that Uniden couldn't care less about supporting their products once they have your money.

Summary: It could have been better
Review: It's a great phone that is very durable. It lack some feature like a larger Phone Book where you can search a number by Name.

Summary: better than a cordless
Review: Our search for a cordless phone had us going through at least 6 different manufacturers. All of the phones had terrible reception until we tried this one. It is so fantastic we are buying another one.

Summary: Came up short
Review: Sleek styling, great options for the money. However, the background noise is worse than my 10 year old Panasonic which sits directly next to every electrical appliance that interfers with cordless phones.
