I recommend looking elsewhere.

Reviewed by worromjr from Alexandria, VA on Jan 14, 2009

BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought three of these over a year ago, and I have consistently had problems with static. Since these are running at 5.8 GHz, I don't think I'm getting interference from my home wireless network, but perhaps my neighbors (condos) are causing me a problem. I've gone back to an old school wired phone that I got for $10 at [...] and couldn't be happier.

Best Uses:	Around Water
Pros:	Easy To Set Up
Cons:	Weak Signal, Limited Range, Poor Sound Quality, Produces Static

Good, Solid phone for the price

Reviewed by Tough-on-phones (Quality Oriented) from Hesston, KS on Feb 01, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

We were tired of cheap, poor quality cordless phones. This one is heavy (a good thing) and the buttons have great touch. The display is much like a cell phone and gives the impression of quality. The one "con" is that there is a short delay to "connect" with the base when answering calls, giving a "double-hello" effect.

Pros:	Comfortable Handset, Strong Signal, Big Range, Good Sound, Easy To Set Up, Durable
Best Uses:	Everyday Use
Cons:	Short delay to answer

Good so far - need more time

Reviewed by lexie (Quality Oriented) from CT on Feb 01, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

So far so good - have not been able to use outdoors yet - too cold. The range seems a little short and has a slight scatchy reception at a distance (phone base unit at one end the house - using phone at other end).

Best Uses:	Everyday Use, Outdoors
Cons:	Limited Range

[...] Phone missing one key

Reviewed by Burro (Value Oriented, Quality Oriented) from San Francisco, CA on Oct 17, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

[...] Almost perfect in every way, but one that is critical -- not headset jack!!! Now there are plenty of waterproof things with headset jacks, so we were crushed when this phone did not have one. Had hoped to use it while gardening, bathing the baby, etc., but -- even with a speakerphone -- it needs that headset option. I'd recommend this phone, but only to people who don't use headsets.

Passed sprinkler test!

Reviewed by Rosana the gardner (Value Oriented) from Fredericksburg, VA on Jul 31, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Bought this unit after having trouble with my cell and sweating out in the garden:( I accidently left this new unit around my garden work and the sprinklers came on, I only remembered it after it have been "rained" on for while, and voila', it still works as nothing happened. Definetly a keeper.

worth the money

Reviewed by rocky (Value Oriented) from chicagoland on Jun 26, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

This is a good phone for the money. Nothing beats having the phone with you in the pool or hot tub, without having to worry about it getting wet. The only drawback is the low sound quality, even at max volume, however I think this happens with all waterproof phones.

Best Uses:	Outdoors, at the pool or hot tub
Cons:	Poor Sound Quality
Pros:	waterproof

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

We have a pool and I am always getting calls while we are swimming. I can't tell you how many phones I've ruined by dropping them in the pool. I am so glad I found this phone. No more worries if my hands are wet or even if it falls in and the price is great to boot!

Best Uses:	Home, Outdoors, High Call Volume
Pros:	Strong Signal, Comfortable Headset, Nice Features, Durable, Good Sound, Big Range

Great Phone for the Pool Area!

Reviewed by Outdoors lover (Technically Challenged, Practical) from Gloucester Point, VA on Jun 20, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I bought this phone to use outside by the pool and while gardening. I love it because it is loud enough and has a variety of ring tones, so it is easily heard.
