The Pros:When it works the range is fairly good, works all over the house. Handsets are brightly backlit, work well in the dark.
The Cons:Noticeable lag/delay when dialing a number, buttons react slowly. Frequent clicking and buzzing comes through the handsets. Playback from answering machine is poor quality, hard to understand what people are saying.
