Love this - owned it for more than a year
Will this jinx my answering machine and phones?! I have owned this for over a year and am extremely happy with it. I have six units in addition to the one with the answering machine. I can take the receiver outdoors and still stay connected. I needed a system that could be expanded and it has met all of my needs.

Very poor range
Simply No excuse for the fact that the range on this unit is very poor.

A voltage fluctuation burned the base-unit for my old Uniden set - not sure of the model# - but those came free with SunRocket in 2005 - so yes old - and with a stubby antenna on the handsets. But the old Unidens worked like a charm - no problems in any corner of our apartment - loved them.

hence I went for Unidens again - hoping that the new model would be at least as good as the old ones if not better - but NO!
There are lots of "blank spots" in our apt. where the reception just drops ... and even when I'm in range - the sound clarity is suspect ... with occasional clicks and hisses.

Not sure if we got a lemon - but definitely not happy!

And not a biggie but it is sad that the voltage adapter for Uniden is only 120V compliant!!

functions good, range poor
all things are pretty good except for poor range. I've got a vtech 5.8g that's 5 yrs old and does better than this. it does not reach across my house let alone up/down floors. it's to the recycle bin for these guys.

Bad product & lousy customer service
I purchased this phone and it stopped functioning less than 2 days out of the box. The spare handset wouldn't register to the main base. After contacting Uniden and waiting 3 days for a reply their suggestion failed - I tried it 4 times. They then proceed to inform me that after paying the full price for the phone, that in order for the to fix their broken product I would have to pay $10. It took more than a week to get to that point.

There are lots of good reviews on this phone, but God help those who have to deal with Uniden. I would not recommend anyone buy this product.

Crappy Battery Charge
I really like this phone system and it's features but i had to give it a 3 because the battery life is absolutely horrible. The phone that i keep on my desk is never used. I can fully charge it, take it off the cradle for one day maybe a day and a half and the charge indicator will go down to 2/3's. So basically it has become one of those phones that has to be constantly left of the charger.
This unit replaced a Panasonic that would hold a charge for days, whether it was being used or not. Sorry but this will be my last Uniden phone.
