Customer Reviews:

• Good for the Price
  Unit would have gotten 4 stars if the cordless portion of the system did not get so much intereference. I have other Uniden 5.8ghz corldess units and they work great. This one not so much. you get about 10-15 feet away and you get static. Luckly u only bought it because i needed a cheap desk phone. The base unit here is very good. Comfortable and good speaker phone. for the price i guess it is not bad having to deal with the cordless, considering i have other corless units it is no problem. But don't buy thie unit if you NEED to have the cordless, only get it if the cordless will be considered a plus....more info
• Okay So Far
  I've had a base corded phone with one or two companion wireless phones from AT&T, Panasonic, and Motorola over the past five years or so. Each started out okay and then developed various problems and breakdowns not long after the end of the warranty periods. So as well as this Uniden is working after a week (though I really dislike the loud button beeps from the base phone), I've concluded that quality control on phones, regardless of brand, is sadly wanting, at least from my experience. I do hope this Uniden holds up, if only because the sound quality (it's an analog phone) is better than on my previous trashed phone collection, and the button ergonomics are quite comfortable. ("Button ergonomics." Young men here are free incorporate it as the key phrase in a pickup line. A surefire winner.)...more info
• some good, some bad
  This applies only to the corded component.
  
  I use the phone in a somewhat noisy home office environment: computer fans and household fans.
  
  The speakerphone is excellent: loud enough to be heard over ambient noise, and distortion free.
  
  The corded handset is pretty bad. Distorts at high volume, and volume level is inadequate for ambient noise. Worse than my old $15 speakerphone.
  
  The hard-wired corded base uses wall-wart power, which is good, since the speakerphone won't run down a battery as is the case in some Panasonic models. On the other hand, it does not contain a backup battery, so most functions go away when there is no power to the wall-wart. If you have a UPS, plug the wall-wart into your UPS. If you don't have a UPS, get one, you'll thank me some day.
  
  The user interface to the phone leaves something to be desired, but it is not completely awful. It is annoying that the keypad tones to the room cannot be turned off, even when using only the corded handset. It is also annoying that there is a significant delay between keypress and tone generation, which will throw off your dialing rhythm.
  
  The corded handset is the annoying newfangled cleverboy design kind, with a tapered mouthpiece section, no doubt shaving .03c off the shipping cost from China, but making it a lot harder to wedge on your shoulder....more info
• Bob's Review
  Just bought this Uniden CXAI5698--the corded phone is good but the cordless phone has a poor range and doesn't lit up. I was thinking of taking it back for the AT&T E5908 but I think Uniden's quality is better as I always have hated AT&T corded phones from day one....more info
• Serving it's purpose
  So far so good. I just recently purchase and feel It's really too soon to give a review. So the five star rating applies to delivery and one month usuage....more info
