I had read a bad review about the battery life on this phone and almost didn't buy it. While my wife and I were at the store we both liked the look and feel so much we decided to give it a try anyway. The last several times we purchased new cordless phones we had to exchange them 3 or 4 times before we found one that worked good enough so why not give it a try.
Because of the bad review on battery life the first thing I did after letting them charge for 24 hours was take one off the charger and let it sit on the table for 38 hours. I then called a local info line where I could listen to a recoreded message that played over and over again. I switched the phone to speaker (and that uses battery power faster than normal use) and listened to the message for over two hours while I worked on my computer. After 38 hours off the charger and 2 hours on the speaker phone I still had 2 bars on the 3 bar charge indicator.
The sound quality has been great, I have enven had people tell me how much better it sounds than my old phone. I have not had any connection problems and I have not had any static at all. When I first used the phones I had to turn up the volume but once it was set it has stayed right where I like it.
I like a number of the features, deleting the calls on one phone clears them on all the phones (not all phones do that), it works well with my phone company voicemail (I know this has a built in answering machine but my kid is at the age where he is on the phone all the time and I like people being able to leave messages rather than get a busy signal).
The range is fantastic, better than any phone I have had. I live in the country so I have a big lot 330' x 330'. I walked the entire property line and never dropped the call or had any static. The furthest I walked from my house was about 250' (guess by pacing it off) and the phone worked great. Mind you all my trees are on the edge of my lot so it's really wide open with no overhead lines or other obstructions, but my last few phones couldn't go any where near that distance.
All in all this is the best cordless phone I have ever had and I've been buying cordless phones for over 20 years. Both my wife and I love it and have no complaints about them at all.
