5 Stars A great cordless phone for not too much money
We bought this one to replace an old Radio Shack unit that was starting to wear out. Initially we were looking at a Panasonic unit that offered call blocking, a feature we wanted to stop those annoying telemarketing calls. After some searching I found this unit, which also offered the call blocking capability. After some serious comparison shopping we opted to go with this unit, which so far we have not regretted at all. It’s relatively easy to set up, although the directions leave a bit to be desired in my opinion. We bought an additional unit for this and all three remote units easily synched with the base unit. One unit did have a totally dead battery in it, but it quickly recharged after being left on the charger. We can’t begin to say how much we love the call blocking feature. It’s remarkably easy to add a number, either when it’s ringing or by searching through the call history. Suddenly our house is much quieter now and we can actually get some peace and quiet knowing this unit is stopping those pesky telemarketers. The one feature I wish it had is a lighted push to talk button. If you pick up the phone in the dark you can’t tell which button is the one to push to answer it, which can be kind of annoying if you’ve been woken up to answer the phone. While the keypad is lighted, it would be most helpful if the other buttons were as well. We’ve also found the battery to last a long time, which is refreshing given the fact that our old Radio Shack batteries were starting to wear out. Overall we’re very happy with this new unit and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a phone that has lots of features, a good price, and nice styling.

5 Stars Great Value in a Cordless Phone
The DECT2185-3 cordless phone system, like most of Uniden’s phones offers the consumer great value for the money.

This phone set has a 70-name directory capacity with each handset having the same or different contacts (your option. It’s extremely versatile. Most manufacturers only offer a 50-capacity directory with all handsets sharing the same contacts.

Although the DECT 2185-3 includes 3 handsets, you can add an additional 3 for a total of 6. Each extra handset (DCX210) is a very reasonable $29.99 each.

Other plusses include excellent sound quality, 8 ringer tones, most of which are melodic–not harsh tones. If you want the Star Spangled Banner as your ring tone, this phone has it!. A lighted keypad and base and battery display are also included.

Only negative with this phone is that a larger LCD screen would make it even easier to read, especially for someone with visual impairment.

If you are looking for a cordless phone set that offers features as opposed to style, this is one to consider.

1 Star Failed on first use
This product had to be returned. On the first attempt to dial a phone number the display froze. The instruction booklet provided no help. Could not find a way to clear the display. Did not like all the fancy colored attachments. This phone is more about appearance than utility.

4 Stars Vtech cordless phone LS6217
I like everything about this except for the comfort of holding it. It does not have the usual rounded back that I am used to.

4 Stars VERY GOOD/COOL PHONE BUT YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE HANDSET
THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL. THIS IS A VERY GOOD PHONE. I BOUGHT FOR A STEAL ON CLEARANCE AT A BIG BOX STORE. IT SUCKS THAT YOU CAN’T UPGRADE TO MORE THAN ONE HANDSET. MY BATTERY TIME SUCKS…BUT IT’S PROBABLY BEEN SETTING IN THAT STORE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS!

1 Star Horrible phone
I got this as a gift, I had no idea it doesn’t have a hands free mode. What crappy company would make a phone in the year 2009 without a speakerphone? I have a Vtech phone from 1999 with a speakerphone. Even free cell phones have speakerphones. Also, the phone itself is not comfortable to hold. Do not buy this horrible phone.

2 Stars Disappointing
I did lots of research on phones because we’ve had terrible luck lately in this department. These phones were rated very highly so I bit the bullet and purchased them when they went on sale.

They work for a couple of months but the handsets eventually stop connecting to the base. And when they do connect, they cut in a out to where the person on the other end can’t understand what you are saying.

I just want a decent phone that works, but this is not it.

5 Stars Panasonic KX-TG1032S
I had done the research and am very happy with our phones. Everything as described and promised. The one thing missing is the lighted keypad, which I knew about, and the only other problem I’ve had is confusing it with our TV remote, as it is nearly the same size and shape – the handsets are even smaller- very slim and sleek. We’re happy with our choice, and our (techno-savvy) grown kids may be ordering the same model after seeing ours.

4 Stars So far ,so good!
Purchased a different Panasonic about 5 years ago mainly for the ease of installment. Disappointed that it didn’t last any longer. Hopefully, this one will. Loved the price though!!

3 Stars Phone is OK but the usable +range is a little dissappointing.
The functionality of the phone and answering machine are first rate with no complaints, the usable range of the hand sets is a bit disappointing, I would say you start to loose signal at about 65 feet with three interior walls.

I have a much older Panasonic answering machine with remote hand sets that has external antenna’s and those have an outstanding range, I can talk on the phone inside a metal barn about 200′ from the base unit that is inside a house with one of those older hand sets.

4 Stars Very Satisfied
I have been using this system for a month and am quite pleased with it. It is easy to use and the instructions are clear. I really appreciate the battery life because my last Panasonic cordless system would hardly hold a charge before it finally bit the dust. The size of the handset is perfect for me and much better than my last cordless handset. I would definitely recommend this system for anyone who doesn’t require lots of different functions beyond what this system delivers. I like the duel handset too. This system is quite nice.

5 Stars makita charger
After bounce testing the charger that came in the kit, i needed a charger fast! Went to the “big boxes” and they wanted $80.00 for the same charger so i came home and searched the internet and found this. Even with FREE shipping it was at my front door in no time. I use my drill and flashlight quite often at work so i need a good charger and this is it.

3 Stars MAKITA DC1804 CHARGER
THE CHARGER WORKS VERY GOOD I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CHARGER

THE ONE THING I DON’T LIKE IS YOU HAVE TO UNPLUG WHEN NOT CHARGING

5 Stars Excellent Makita Battery Charger
If you have the OLD style Makita cordless 12v drill just laying there dead…buy this charger and you’ll be back in business!

I received this charger in less than the estimated time and within a couple of hours my drill was working again. I shopped all over the internet and this was the best price delivered. If you are in the market for a universal Makita Battery Charger and are reading this review..STOP… Just Order…you’be happy you did.

4 Stars makita charger
We were annoyed to find out that our new Makita NiMH battery didn’t fit in our “old” charger. This one fits all Makita stick and works great.

Does a fine quick charge as well.

2 Stars Works when it works
We go through these chargers frequently. I do not know if we are doing something or if they are not built correctly. They need more fusing to protect the unit. Usually batteries go out before the charger but this one is reversed.

5 Stars Great battery
This battery is more than I expected. It has a higher ammount of amp hours(2.4) than the original and lasts much longer.I am pleasantly surprised.

2 Stars Doesn’t hold a charge
I tried to take care of the batteries for two years, by not leaving them in the charger for more than it took to charge them up, just charging them up when I used them, not over-discharging them. But they both stopped holding a charge after less than two years. When they’re new the drill works great.

5 Stars NiCad MUCH stronger than original
Nearly bought a new lithium ion drill-driver/flashlight kit but saved about $180 to rejuvinate what I thought was a hopeless situation. 10 year old Milwaukee 3/8″ drill-driver works as well as when new…even better with the 2.4 Amp battery. Originals died because I let run on flashlight until dead thinking I was ‘exersising’ it for longevity…but learning too late that method will ruin the battery. I have used occasionaly for 11 years, and hated to part with excellently performing drill and good flashlight. I purchase this battery as a last resort; charges on the original charger and seems to last 4x longer than the original battery (1.8 Ah). Pricey but worth it!

5 Stars Great Product
Nice OEM battery at a good price. Holds a good charge and recharges fast. Fast shipping was a plus

4 Stars Milwaukee 14.4 volt battery
This new battery works fine – now we just need to see how long it will last!
