Title: Bad battery, bad reception.
Product review: I bought this product on the strength of good reviews from Consumer Reports. It had poor reception right out of the box (our other cordless phones are crisp and clear at the same jack). It alternated between sounding like a cell phone with a weak signal and sounding like I was having a phone conversation in an echo chamber. Within weeks the battery would not hold a charge through a single 5 minute call. Took the phone back to Best Buy, which declined to exchange or refund because an extended warranty was not purchased. We left it in a heap on the counter at Best Buy and said good riddance (to the phone and Best Buy).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
