Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of VTech CS5111 1-Handset Cordless Phone, Silver/Black
Customer Review: Clear sound, simple, just right!
Summary: 4 Stars
Recently, I got a Nettalk TK6000 (device that competes against MagicJack and Ooma) to make phone calls over the internet. I was looking for a cordless phone to use that would be easy to operate and have decent sound quality.
I checked out two other cordless phones, but decided to use this one. I already had one phone around the house. It was a 5.8ghz Uniden brand that had a built in answering machine. However the phone contained too much static. Then I went and bought a Panasonic Dect 6.0 cordless phone. I loved the features of the Panasonic but had one problem. After making a call for about 1 1/2 hours, the phone gave me a headache. I think from the Dect 6.0 technology (the handset and base of these phones constantly send out tiny microwave pulses of radiaton). So I decided to return the Panasonic and found the Vtech CS5111.
Here's what I like:
- sound quality is good (not crystal clear, but free of static)
- nice ergonomics (properly sized keys, sized to fit ear and mouth well -- unlike small cell phone like ones)
- Wi-FI friendly - won't interfere with wireless networks
- 5.8 Ghz technology (lower technology than the newer Dect 6.0, but I'll pass on the microwave pulses)
- keys are protected with plastic so they won't wear off or get ruined if wet
Here's what I dislike:
- dim backlighting (The box shows bright backlighting but the phone is not. The light is about as bright as
dim lighting of a lcd watch)
- battery indicator (The box shows a constant batter indicator, but in reality that only shows when the battery
is low)
- directory (only holds a total of 20 contacts)
- dialing programmed calls (there's a delay about 20 seconds after programmed dialing and when the called
phone rings)
One other general note about cordless phones. I wished more companies would start using standard sized (AAA or AA)
batteries instead of unique cordless phone batteries specific for that phone. The Panasonic used AAA rechargeable metal hydride batteries. That was a nice touch.
Overall, I'm satisfied with the Vtech CS51111. I feel like Goldilocks. The Uniden had to much static. The Panasonic Dect 6.0 gave me a headache. The Vtech fit just right!
