Comment: Apparently I'm the black sheep here. I too bought this phone based on the Consumer Reports review and I've been pleased with it for many years. It's been reliable and, although I rarely leave it off the charger, the batteries only started giving out last year, so I replaced them. Not sure I'm discerning enough to notice the "tinny" sound others complain of, but it sounds fine to me.

Comment: This phone crapped out on us after just a year or so. Caller ID stopped working, and it doesn't ring when people call. Total waste of money.

Summary: Garbage 2007-03-10
Comment: I received this phone set as a gift. After four months the audio on the first phone died out along with with keybad and then the recall button. The second phone soon followed suit two months later. What garbage. All from a company that builds airplane engines.

Comment: I bought the set a year ago and the battery is already dead. I can't leave them out of the charger so whats the point of being cordless. GE really sunked it this time. Better sell this division because is hurting the image I had of the company. Don't buy this product. If you have an excellent experience with a phone please comment so I can buy it.

Summary: Voice Quality Isn't Good 2006-10-01
Comment: I bought this phone because Consumer Reports rated it "excellent" for voice quality. Not! There was a lot of echo and a tinny quality, which changing channels only helped somewhat. I didn't have a problem with distance from the base, but I may have returned it too quickly to discover that.
