Rating: Summary: Forget this one! Review: I bought this phone on the strength of the good reviews here. Sorry, folks, it has a few problems, starting with the fact that it uses so much juice that the battery cannot make it through a 15 minute phone call. It doesn't give very much warning before it dies either. It needs to be charged all night, EVERY night, and still cannot manage to make it through the day. In addition, the caller ID sometimes registers the previous call instead of the current one. The same thing happens with the redial. I have some saved messages that I don't necessarily want to hear every time, but I get a ring back if I don't listen to every message. In all fairness, this could be the fault of my voice mail rather than the phone. Don't buy this one! ...
Rating: Summary: 2 sec. disconnection gaps Review: I bought this product and right after installing it, on my first call I noticed there were gaps on the audio. I spoke to Manufacturer and they claim it is interference and should not place the base near any electronic equipment (my computer). Despite that my previous cordless phone worked in the same place until it died without interference, I changed the new one. It still looses the channel at 35 feet from the base. replaced it right away but same story...
Rating: Summary: This phone fooled my girlfriend Review: I have a girlfriend with whom I speak every night and she hates and despises cordless phones. She says that she always knows when it's a cordless because she hears background noise. This VTECH phone is so clear that she doesn't know when I use it. Believe me, this is no small feat. I have other cordless phones in the house and she immediately notices if I use any other one!

Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: I have had this phone for nine months and have had no problems to date. The range is good. The speakerphone is also excellent. My only problem is that it would have been nice if the phone had a clock on its display. Other than that it works excellent.
Rating: Summary: 1932 Review: I have the 1932 and the 1922 and am really pleased with both - well thought out buttons, loud button sound, choice of four rings, volume control, backlit display, etc. One problem is that it doesn't stay in its cradle well when wall mounted, but if you need it for a night stand, like I do, it is great. The Caller ID feature is awesome with scrolling and time stamp which I find particularly useful. Pick one today and if you aren't happy take it back. ... .
Rating: Summary: Even better than I expected. Review: I really recommend it for clarity, feel/weight of the handset, features and price.I tried Sony before this one and was disappointed-- especially with the poor clarity. The Directory feature is really nice--It works like a cell phone directory. It holds 50 names/numbers which you can copy from Caller ID. (It won't tell you if an entry is a duplicate, though.) The Dual Speaker function is really nice allowing me to have a speaker phone anywhere. The base is in the living room, but I can still use the speaker phone in the kitchen or laundry room. I am soft-spoken and people are able to hear me when I'm several feet away talking normally. The clarity is great. Extending the antenna on the handset doesn't seem to make a difference, though. The display is easy to read compared to those that are green. The Caller ID is great because I have it on the base and wherever I have the handset. I don't have to scurry to another room to see who's calling. It's also easy to review and to erase any or all numbers listed. I'm not sure how far you can actually travel with the handset, but I did go to my car and it worked fine. Also, I really would recommend putting it on the charger when leaving for work. I don't think the battery lasts very long if you're using the phone much. Although I haven't tried it, it's nice that a headset input it available. I would expect it to work well.
Rating: Summary: No "buzzing" - even next to my computer! Review: I tried phone after phone in my home office. They all buzzed and zapped near the computer. This one works with no interference! I love it! The features, as the spec sheet and Amazon reviewers have noted, are tremendous. The phone is easy to use and has a speakerphone on both the base and handset. I can't believe how many features (and no interference!) came on a phone that was so inexpensive. This is a great buy - you won't regret it.

Rating: Summary: Excellent Value Review: I've had this phone for a couple of months and am very pleased with its overall performance. It's tough to beat the performance and features, for the price. The handset reception is clear, even through 4 walls with metal frames (I don't even have to extend the antenna). The speaker phone feature is very good although the handset speaker phone seems to provide somewhat less quality than the base unit but still quite acceptable. There is ample memory for number storage. Programmimg the phone and accessing the features is uncomplicated and straight-forward. Really, my only beef is the handset cradle. Its design does not hold the handset securely enough and if you're not careful about setting the handset in the cradle or if the wall, on which the phone is mounted, is substantially jarred, the handset can fall out. It's happened to me, 3 times - and onto a tile floor! However, the good news is that only minor damage has resulted - nothing a little crazy glue couldn't handle. The phone is still operating perfectly - a telling attribute of its durability. Without hesitation, I would recommend this product.
