Customer Review: Uniden DECT 2188 series Corded/Cordless Phone System
Summary: 5 Stars
My girlfriend and I were about 99% sure we wanted Uniden phones to replace a quickly aging set of VTECs she's had for just a couple of years. We've both had various sets over the last 25 years; Uniden, VTEC, AT&T (owned by VTEC), Panasonic, etc. and both agree that Unidens were far better. My Father purchased a set of Unidens (4 handsets) from Sams Club in Roanoke, VA about 5 years ago and they have been fantastic. But, I'm one of those people that has to fully research an item before I buy it; checking personal reviews online, pouring over Consumer Reports' reviews & ratings, checking the big box store prices and comparing Amazon and EBay deals. Even then I'll second guess, research again and still agonize over it (read "over think it!"). Anyway, it usually works out fine. In this case we wanted certain features, the most for our money, consistent reliability and good customer service; just like anyone would. The dilemma came where Consumer Reports rated the AT&T and Panasonic phones over the Uniden sets... not across the board on all models, but the ones with our basic features anyway. My last set of AT&T phones just plain sucked (10 years ago, 2.4 GHz - static and very noisy voice mail) and I was surprised to see them rated so well. But the high price compared to the Panasonic and Uniden sets just didn't impress me enough to commit to them. I almost bought the Panasonic. I had it in the "cart" and was about to put my credit card number in and then backed out. I looked one more time at some online reviews and found one from an individual that said you couldn't name the handsets on the Panasonic - like "bedroom", "basement", "garage" and so on. I like that feature and it was not easily found when going over the phones at various sellers websites. Consumer Reports (membership is about $26 a year) has a neat widget that allows you to pick out the features you want and it will narrow down your choices. EBay and other sites do this as well for various items you're looking at. Well, every time I used it to pick our "must have" features, the Uniden 2188 series was the only choice. I also wanted 5 cordless handsets and a "waterproof" handset for the shop. So, despite a couple of negative reviews on here and even though CR didn't rate it at the top - they rated well, but just below AT&T and Panasonic - I went with the Uniden 2188-5 system. The Amazon price was better than anywhere else, except a refurbished set on another website. We also added the yellow "waterproof" handset to the order. It's no secret that Amazon's customer service is excellent and get this; I ordered the phones at 2:30 pm Eastern Time on a Thursday, paid for 2nd day shipping and guaranteed by Amazon to be delivered on Saturday. I actually received them the very next day, Friday at 12 noon! As of right now, 4/2/2010, we are very happy with the phones. Excellent range, crystal clear voice quality - while on the phone and from the answering machine, easy to set up, easy menu navigation, nice buttons - easy to see and use, good size LCD screen - easy to read, and just a good looking phone overall. The folks complaining of issues with "poor range" may have isolated problems specific to their own home construction and other interference issues probably not typical to the phone. So far, our range of use has been excellent. I guess it would be cool to have more ring tone choices, but that doesn't affect functionality. And seriously, who really wants to let their phone ring a long time just to hear a ring tone? As time goes on, we'll update this review if we have any issues. Good luck, do your research and feel free to respond to this and ask questions. I'll get the e-mail and answer it as quick as possible.
