Unident TRU 5885-2 - Mixed Feelings

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2005
The Bottom Line: Depending on what features are important to you this might be the best phone you've ever had, but it's less than perfect.
Review: I purchased the Uniden TRU5885 Cordless Phone Set in August of 2004, over five months ago. It was purchased as a replacement for my old telephone. The Uniden TRU5885 Cordless Phone Set was on sale at a great price and the concept of a dual handset...

Good cordless phones for the money

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: I am pleased with the performance and features. Some things could be better, but I guess you can't have everything!
Review: WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
--------------------------------

I was looking for a phone that wouldn't degrade my 802.11b wireless PC connection. My other 2.4 GHz Uniden was very nice, with a much better speakerphone, but the wireless...

Do not buy! or Buyer Beware

Date of Review:  Aug 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: This phone's features are all over-hyped. I recommend looking elsewhere.
Review: I'll get right to the point: Why spend extra $$ on a dual handset phone when you cannot use both handsets at the same time!! Oh, you can transfer a call from one to the other, but if you pick up the line on one phone then try on the other, it says,...

Lots of "COOL" options but had to return it due to static

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you do not need to get more than 50 yards from the base this phone is excellent.
Review: Very impressive features, good short range quality, and cool looks.

You can set your ringer like your cell phone with X-mas songs or Beethoven or irritating cricket sounds. The handset speaker phone is cool but would be better if the mic...

TRU 5885-2

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy Panasonic or even vtech.You will be alot happier.
Review: I have had many cordless phones,most of them Panasonic.They were all great.I decided to buy this one because of the great range and clarity it was supposed to offer.Either was true.This was the worst cordless I have ever purchased.I could not even...

Please read this if you're thinking of buying this system

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2003
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this phone to anyone. I can't wait until it finally stops working completely so we can get another one.
Review: I received this phone system from my parents as a Christmas gift. My dad is very electronic savvy and takes great delight in researching and purchasing the latest phone systems out there. Well, someone misinformed him about this one.

Very stylish but... where is that advertised extra range???

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: It looks, feels and works very good. But when it comes to a range as a priority - it seems not worth of it's money.
Review: OK. My story is simple. I wanted a little luxury at the pool at my apartment complex. I wanted a cordless phone that I could use easily for long conversations while laying in Jacuzzi or pool or.. ah... sweet... :o) You got the picture.

Just didn't live up to my expectations

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this phone to anyone. For the $200 price tag, and the new 5.8 ghz technology, I definitely expected more.
Review: I bought this phone about a month ago, very excited to get the latest 5.8 ghz technology. I chose the Uniden TRU 5885-2 because it came with 2 handsets and has an answering machine, and because it looked great with the silver accents. But I should...

TRU 5885 is it worth

Date of Review:  Jul 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: Think before you spend. Don't go for looks and basic features. The phone is used by everyone at home,including children, don't make it difficult.
Review: I bought the TRU5885 on 26th June 03, as i need a phone with a speaker and answering machine. I decided to select uniden as it had the highest 5.8 ghz, looked great and had a speakerphone in handset. The sound is great, and crisp.

We love it

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's as good of a cordless phone as I have ever owned. I would definitely make the purchase again.
Review: We bought the Uniden TRU 5885 prior to reading the reviews here on epinions.com, and now I'm glad we did! If we had read the reviews first, I probably would not have made the purchase. Unlike several reviewers here, we've had no problems at all with...
