Top Rated Cordless Home Phones

Top rated cordless phones

Panasonic cordless phones have no serious competition at the premium end of the cordless home phone market. The latest KX-TG7500, KX-TG6500 and KX-TG4000 models employ an enhanced version of DECT 6.0 technology that delivers excellent voice clarity and impressive cordless phone range. They also have the Panasonic proprietary features that distinguish them from all other cordless phones: talking caller ID, call blocking, silent mode, shared phonebooks, visual voicemail, eco-mode ... The top selling phone from amongst the latest models is the Panasonic KX-TG6545B.

Corded Cordless Phones

If the ability to make a phone call during a power outage is a critical consideration the top rated cordless phone is the KX-TG1062M. It's one of Panasonic's top sellers and scores impressive cordless telephone reviews.

Cordless Wall Phones

Until recently it was impossible to find a genuine wall mount cordless phone. Despite enormous demand the niche was ignored by manufacturers. In response Panasonic came up with a smart wall mount on it's KX-TG6500 range. It features a low profile mount that can be reversed. The base can either sit on a desk, counter ... or attach to a wall. It's the neatest solution we have seen and is a key reason for the popularity of the KX-TG6545B and related models.

Long range cordless phone

Long Range Cordless Phones

In the past 900 MHz phones were the top rated cordless phones. Unfortunately they have issues including interference and poor security. While regular DECT 6.0 phones are usually adequate, they are challenged by large multi-level homes and steel-concrete constructions. The symptoms include dead spots where cordless phone reception is poor to non-existent.

The latest Panasonic cordless phones address these issues in two ways. DECT 6.0 Plus includes technology that increases cordless phone range. Secondly users can add one or more Panasonic cordless phone extenders to any of the latest TG7500, KX-TG6500 and KX-TG4000 models. The KX-TG4053B comes with an included a range extender.

Bluetooth Cordless Phones

Vtech has been pushing the convergence of DECT 6.0 and Bluetooth technology for some years. It's now onto it's third or fourth generation of Bluetooth cordless phones. The Vtech DS6321-3 tops the cordless phone ratings, however Panasonic has now released a serious competitor. The KX-TG6583T matches the Vtech phone feature-for-feature and is winning top cordless telephone reviews.

Waterproof Cordless Phones

Uniden has no competition in the rugged or waterproof cordless phone segment. Not only can they survive total immersion in a backyard pool, but also the rough and tumble existence of shed or workshop phone. The Uniden WXI2077 is the top rated model that outsells the rest.

Cheap cordless phones

Cheap Cordless Phones

Vtech makes the best cheap barebones cordless phones. They are sought out by consumers requiring a reliable but basic phone with few bells and whistles (not even a cordless headset jack). The only difference between the CS6219-2 and CS6229-2 is that the former doesn't have an answering machine. They are excellent trouble free phones and are ideal for consumers who see no point in paying for features that will not be used.

2 Line Cordless Phones

There are dozens of 2 line cordless phones, but the Uniden DECT4096 and DECT4066A top the ratings. It's a niche that Uniden phones have dominated for years and these latest editions continue the tradition. The good news is that they are half the cost of the 5.8 GHz phones that they supersede.

4 Line Cordless Phones

The Panasonic KX-TG4500B is the phone system that small business operators rate most highly. It's a reliable work horse with a good range of features that work reliably. An AT&T cordless phone is the most serious challenger because it employs later technology, but doesn't have the same reputation for trouble free performance.

Cordless Headset Phone

Cordless Headset Phones

When a cordless phone headset doesn't cut the mustard the answer is a Plantronics cordless headset telephone. The Plantronics CT14 and Calisto Pro are the top rated cordless phones for multi-taskers who demand a hands free phone that can be attached to a belt or shirt pocket.

Summary

With only one exception the top rated cordless phones are DECT 6.0 phones. Not a great surprise, but convincing evidence that DECT 6.0 technology has superseded 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz phones. It also makes cordless phone comparison a lot easier than in the past.
