Review title: Good features and price, but poor sound quality
Product review: The unit appears to be made well and offers good features. The price is excellent for a corded/cordless phone with an answering machine. However, the sound quality is lacking.There is noticeable background noise on the corded handset when the volume is above level two (out of four). Moving the phone to another jack where another corded phone was previously plugged in (without background noise) did not help. I bought this phone because I did not want the background noise of a cordless phone on my main phone. The noise is not awful, just annoying and surprising for a corded phone.The cordless phone sounds fuzzy both at the phone and to the person on the other end as well. Switching channels did not help. The phone was much clearer when within 5 feet of the base set, but obviously, that defeats the purpose of having a corded phone.Although there are few alternatives in this type of phone available, I would pass on this one and keep looking.
