VTech - CS6114 DECT 6.0 Digital Cordless Phone With Caller ID/Call Waiting - White

it works great for the purpose. I got it for my mother to use, she recently broke her ankle and has to keep it elevated about 80 to 90 percent of the day for the first couple of months until cast removed. After that she can gradually get back to normal use. She was in a short-stay rehabilitation center after hospital and they had cordless phones in the rooms. That is were I got the Idea to get one to swap with her corded phone. I got this phone about a week prior to her release Set up was real easy. I added phone numbers that I though she might call in the phone (after she got home I added some more). It has caller ID so she can see who is calling (she did this before) This works great for her since she can keep the phone right next to her so when people call she doesn't have to get up every time. She really likes having the phone handy since she isn't able to walk around like she use to "YET", as she likes to says and she is getting there. Her only negatives were that it had a different sound compared to her other phone when it rang. I told her that I could switch back to the other phone any time but it wouldn't be cordless. she said you don't need to do that it's ok.

When my old cordless phone died I decided to replace it with an inexpensive model. This is a home phone for me and wouldn't get heavy use, so a basic model seemed to be a good idea. However, after a week or so I ended up returning it (thanks, Best Buy). The phone is OK for the price, sound is fine and features are adequate. If you're looking for a very basic cheap phone this would be an OK choice. My primary issue was the display, which was weak to the point of being nearly unreadable to my 50+ year old eyes. The font is also quite small. I had to hold it directly under a lamp to see it at all. It looks nothing like the display shown in the web page image. It's possible I had a bad model, or this just may be the way it works. The good news is that Best Buy will stand behind the product if you have a problem.

I've had a traditional corded phone for years and I hated being literally tied down to the base because I couldn't extend the cord very far. I finally opted to purchase a cordless phone for convenience, as well as practicality. I also wanted a phone that had caller ID built in. This phone meets my requirements. I love the directory feature, too, and have just set it up. The ring is not too loud, but is loud enough to hear (and you can adjust the volume - for both the ring and in-call). The only thing I don't like so much is the phone has a delayed reaction when you are punching in numbers. It was difficult to get used to and I would punch in the same number twice thinking it wasn't registering, but then I would have too many numbers. I've gotten used to it now. Also, the batteries in the phone took about 12 hours to charge completely when the phone was brand new, out of the box.

When I push the buttons they are squishy and I can't tell when it accepted my input. This is exacerbated by a delay in the tonal beep that normally accompanies dialing. I push the button and shortly there after I hear a beep. When entering numbers quickly you must go on faith that the numbers were accepted. This is especially disappointing and annoying when using a menu system and entering credit card numbers as you can't be sure it took the last number. It slows me down and I have to press a number, wait for the beep, press a number, wait for the beep, and so on. I've been limping along for months with this phone as it was a backup, but I've begun using it more and can't stay silent about my frustration and disappointment.

This phone has a lot of features for a basic phone. I use it with my Google Voice ObiHai without any issues. The only thing thing I've noticed that I wish it had was a speakerphone function. Otherwise, I have no complaints thus far, and it is working well. The reason for the 4 stars as opposed to 5 is primarily due to the bang for the buck. It is a relatively inexpensive basic phone, but lost among all the other provided features are what I would consider basic ones such as speakerphone. It is excellent for its price range, but overall as a product, I'd say it deserves four stars (perhaps 4.5) as opposed to 5. If your intents and purposes for the phone are simple like mine, then this phone is a terrific, quick & easy buy. I would recommend it.

I purchased this Vtech because i needed one fast to test out my landline. This phone i primarily for my children who are 5 and 10 years old. In a world of cell phones, it was not easy to even find a wide selection of landline phones. I grabbed because it was inexpensive and not bulky. It's also not a heavy phone as i recall having some heavy ones back in the days. When i started to input the few numbers it's going to have for my children to call, it was not user friendly. I takes so long to input the name and numbers. good thing there is only one button to scroll through the directory so my youngest is able to look for our numbers. So all in all i gave it a 4 because it does what it was suppose to do. my children can use it to make phone calls.

I did a lot of research before selecting this refrigerator. I replaced an older counter depth side by side and was concerned about freezer space. Not an issue, all of the contents fit in the new fridge with room to spare. There were several reviews about noise from the compressor and the ice maker. No worries, this fridge is quiet and the ice maker makes less noise than my old side by side. Water dispenses with good pressure, filter is in an easy to replace location. We are very happy with this choice and love the middle drawer that we use for deli/meats and cheese as well as the short sodas for a quick snack. It wasn't the least expensive fridge but we love it so far.

Our cordless wall mount phone died after many years and we needed a replacement for the tile back splash under our white kitchen cabinets. We had a difficult time finding a wall mounting phone that fit properly under the cabinet. This one fit perfectly and the color looks great. We were very surprised at the clarity, even in the back yard. The handset is lightweight and I find it comfortable. It doesn't have a speaker phone, but we didn't need one. It has caller ID and also a voice mail indicator which appears as an icon on the display rather than a flashing light, and a handset locater button on the charger. Very happy with this purchase!
