  • Love it!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community

    Pros: excellent sound, reliable product, speed dial on handset, expandable to 10 handsets, walkie talkie feature
    Cons: Can't think of any really. Maybe the display area gets smudged easily?

    Summary: I have been a big fan of Uniden for some time now. Our previous phone was their TRU5885. That was a good phone but this CLX485 is EXCELLENT!!! It is a superb system. We purchased ours at Best Buy about a month ago (January 13, 2006) as a bundle ... read more

    Pros: It had good features
    Cons: Service awful Nothing repairable after warranty Internet help poor Reaching company for help difficult

    Summary: I bought a CLX485 phone a year and a half ago. It died completely. After spending many hours, several weeks and $60 to the phone company, I found that the phone had died completely. Uniden will NOT repair it. If it is out of warranty, they will not ... read more

    Pros: Color handsets, keypad/speakerphone on base and handset, Transfer contacts and Access messages from any handset!
    Cons: TERRIBLE reception!

    Summary: I've only owned this phone for 3 months or so. It has all the bells and whistles. I absolutely love the fact that I can check my messages from any handset as well as program all handsets together rather than inputting all the contacts one by one. It ... read more

    Pros: expandability, sound quality, backlit keypad, quality construction, computer connectivity, handset answering machine playback.
    Cons: Orange monochrome display, short battery life, consumables pricey

    Summary: Did a lot of research before buying a replacement for my old uniden which finally curled up its toes after years of non-stop personal and home business use. Learned to avoid Vtech phones (battery issues)and the other phones I tried (GE & ATT) ... read more

    Pros: All the features a special agent would want.
    Cons: To many features confusing. Battery time is low. Distance sucks. Phone breaks in short time.

    Summary: I have added an update to my posting below. With most of my reviews I consider the durability of the product as a factor when I purchase something. I also try to consider the customer service when I contact the company. I had been looking for a ... read more

    Pros: Very customizable, sleek & attractive looks, call quality, earpiece volume, monitor feature ~
    Cons: GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN * They've already hit clearance shelves in major retailers ~

    Summary: After enough instances of our older 2.4 Ghz system interrupting our wireless system when my talkative sister-in-law called, we finally plunged into the Uniden CLX-485 after Staples put them on sale. It's been a few weeks of calls and playing with the new ... read more

    Pros: Uniden has produced a high quality, very secure cordless, packed with great features.
    Cons: None

    Summary: We had been looking for a more secure cordless phone for awhile, when we stopped into Best Buy. The saleswoman showed us the Uniden Uniden TRU8865-2 5.8GHz Expandable System Cordless Phone Cordless Phone, DSS, 5.8 GHz band, Single Line Operation, 10 ... read more

    Pros: It's the only phone that has all the required features (see text).
    Cons: none.

    Summary: OK people, there's no other 5.8 GHz phone out there that has all the required features like the clx485. Here's what I'm talking about: 1. answering machine. 2. speaker phone in base and handset. 3. base dial key-pad. 4. color screen in handset with ... read more

    Pros: Nice looks, color screen, photo id, add custom sounds, USB
    Cons: Short range, poor battery life

    Summary: I have had this phone for close to three years, in that time I have had to replace the battery three times. Very poor battery life, the batteries from Uniden are expensive, recommend EBAY or

    Pros: Cool features. 100 name phone directory
    Cons: bad reception. Very limited range.

    Summary: I bought this phone mainly because it has a 100 number entry phone directory, whereas all other brands only seem to have 50. When the phone arrived, I was very impressed by its many cool features. Unfortunately,the most important feature;i.e, good sound

    Pros: Sound quality and features
    Cons: I wish the intercom would allow you to announce over the speaker

    Summary: We've had this phone since Christmas, plus 2 of the matching monochrome accessory phones (TCX 400). It works very well in all aspects. Sound quality is terrific, no range problems between upstairs or downstairs use, lots of fun and useful features, and

    Pros: Attractive phone, nice design and advanced features, including an intercom. Very clear answering machine.
    Cons: Lack of range directly impacts functionality. It simply doesn't work well.

    Summary: The answering machine is good quality with a plethora of features that I don't particularly need. What I really did need was a cordless phone with good range. I thought, incorrectly as it turned out, that a system that can take up to 10 extensions would
