When our old Uniden home phone system finally stopped working well we wanted to replace them with a newer Uniden system because the old system was excellent.
The cons are:
- This phone does not display the date and time on the face
- You cannot set a phone ringer to silent (we like to leave a satellite phone in our baby's room)
- When you use the intercom feature both the phone you are paging as well as the phone you use to send the page both make a shrill noise
- I don't like how the number pad is designed. Our old Uniden each number had its own button. With this new Uniden the numbers are all on one long strip so if you are trying to dial quickly its easy to mash in between and dial the wrong number
- Maybe we got duds but the batteries are already not holding a charge for very long and we got these phones about 6 months ago
The pro is:
The range and clarity of the phones are impressive. The old phones would start to lose the signal walking a little bit from our house but with the new phones I can walk all the way to the alley and still hear clearly.
Overall I am not impressed with this new system and would not recommend it.

This phone has pretty good sound quality and the volume is very good, better than most. Like other reviewer have noted, it occasionally says "out of range" for up to 15 seconds at a time, for no apparent reason even when it is in the same room (only a yard or two) from the base unit. This doesn't happen very often, but is really annoying when it does.
The other problem is that all of the wall warts that come with this phone emit a large amount of elf/emf. So, my advice would be to keep these wall warts away as far away from you as possible, especially from your head while you sleep, maybe at least 4 or 5 feet. Note that for these phones, this pertains to the wall warts not the base unit or handset itself, at least according to my amazon-purchased elf meter. I found that paying attention to elf has helped me sleep better.

Same problems as the Uniden's I replaced. Out of range smack next to the base, drop out, doesn't seem like new technology at all.

I hate to disagree with the positive review(s) on this Uniden DECT2085 series but as a big fan of my previous Unidens (I liked the TRU-8885 system and I LOVED the TRU-9485) I have to say that I'm extremely disappointed in the Uniden DECT2085 series. I just got the Uniden DECT2085-3 set brand new straight from Uniden's online store about 2 weeks ago and I'm ready to pack it up and return it.
Since my favorite phone system so far has been the Uniden TRU-9485 series, I'll base my comparisons / critiques against that.
I'll start with the good parts first though...
Uniden DECT2085 PROS:
- Very light-weight handsets (a pro if you like them light)
- Smaller size than previous versions
- Very good speakerphone and easy dialing from the base
- Easy setup / very easy menu navigation
- Convenient headset jack on each handset
- Stand-alone base comes with easy wall-mount attachment
- Sleek design, looks good, very contemporary
Uniden DECT2085 CONS:
- Static / noise on the line is constant and annoying. Nowhere near as clear as the 9485 5.8Ghz, and I have it positioned in the same exact spot as I had my 9485's, same outlet and all.
- HANDSET BATTERY LIFE is TERRIBLE. I can pick it up from a full overnight charge, and literally within 15 minutes of use the battery meter starts dropping quickly. I've lost calls after only one quick warning beep after very little talk time.
- "Out of Range" disconnects even when only *2 feet* away from the base. This is a brand new set with brand new batteries, optimally set up. NO EXCUSE for "Out of Range" spontaneous disconnects, especially when you're sitting right next to the base!!
- No "Room Monitor" feature. This is trivial for some people, but for me it's important. I work in a basement and can't hear knocks at the door upstairs, so I've always used the Room Monitor feature of my 9485's to listen for important deliveries etc... Why Uniden would have ditched this simple feature that was standard with the 8885's and 9485's is inexplicable.
- The keypad buttons are adjoined, making it very easy to mis-dial despite the fact that the middle row is sunken slightly so that you can feel the difference between number keys. (On the 9485 the buttons are separated for much easier dialing). If you've got large fingers / thumbs, this is going to be an issue for you. I can only imagine how bad this would get after a year of heavy use. Poor keypad design.
- Echo echo echo... this doesn't seem to affect the caller on the other end, but you yourself will hear an "echoey" sound on yur own voice in the headset and handset, almost as if you have a reverb or slight delay effect on your voice. Simply annoying. It sounds robotic, almost like a cell phone. I find myself and callers often "stepping on" each other's conversation because of this (like a cell phone).
Sorry Uniden, but the DECT2085 and it's DECT 6.0 technology doesn't hold a candle to it's predecessors, such as the 9485 5.8Ghz. The 9485 are virtually noise-free, have just as much range, battery life is better, keypad is superior, and has more features. The DECT2085 falls short on almost all fronts compared to it's predecessors.
I'm ditching this 2085 blunder and going back to my 9485's (glad I didn't sell them on eBay yet, because the price for 9485 is ridiculous now, as opposed to when I bought the 3-handset set here new for only $129). Kinda sad really, this is my first negative review of a Uniden multi-handset system.

This 3 handset cordless phone was what we needed in our home to prevent a mad dash to answer calls. The base unit is located in the kitchen/eating area with one handset in the TV room and one in the bedroom. There's 40'-50' between base and room handsets. The newer lower 1.9ghz frequency has worked very well in our home. There has been no interference with any other electronic devices. It's been static free for us even 100' from the house when I'm outside or in the garage. It's worked well between walls with no loss of signal. Our walls are made of wood and sheetrock construction. It is easy to see missed calls on the base unit when returning home. It's easy to retrieve and delete calls. It's easy to program the base unit with phone contacts and transfer this information to the other units. We've owned this unit for 9 months and can report that it's worked as advertised. We've owned other Uniden phones in the past and they have also worked very well. I have no negative comments as we are completely satisfied with the product.
