Pros | Very easy to use, great sound quality, strong battery life, fair price | Tons of features | Inexpensive, good sound quality | Good sound quality, easy to use, good range | Easy to use, good sound quality |
Cons | Little light on features | Sub par range | Few features, average range and battery life | Limited features, short battery life | Lackluster battery life, limited features |
Bottom Line | If you want a great cordless phone that is simple and easy to use without a lot of fluff, then this is the model for you | The priciest phone of the bunch, it has plenty of features but mediocre range | A bare bones model that has exceptionally good sound quality for those on a budget | This phone does have one of the larger displays of the group but otherwise failed to stand out against the other phones | If you are looking for a middle-of-the-road phone at a middle-of-the-road price, then this is it |
