Excerpt: I had a cheap $20.00 GE Phone, then i bought a uniden DXI5586-2. On the cheap phone i could use it a couple hundred feet from base. The uniden DXI5586-2 would not even work at 30 feet.
Pros: None
Cons: Very poor range
Overall 2
Range is terrible and callers cannot hear us

Summary: We owned this set for several months, and now are giving it away. The range is terrible if I walked a little too far from the base. (We have a small house.
Summary: I've had these phones about ten months and I am very disappointed. The range is awful; move to another room or 40 feet from the base and you'll hear heavy static.
Summary: Bought these a few months ago and they are very disappointing. The range is poor and after only a few months neither one holds a charge longer than 10 minutes.
Summary: I bought this phone to replace my older 2.4 GHz phone that quit working. This one's a loser. It works only in adjoining rooms - forget about going upstairs or outside.
Summary: Work great, dual handset it somewhat difficult to transfer calls from one to the other.( Can not use both at the same time so two people can share a call)
