Uniden has a long established reputation for making excellent 5.8 GHz two line cordless phones. Sadly it's first shot at a DECT 2 line telephone fell short of expectations. Uniden makes good looking phones and it's first 2 line DECT 6.0 cordless phone was no exception. The DECT 4086 looks and feels like a quality product. In particular the handsets feel robust enough to survive the rough and tumble life of a cordless home phone. There is trend to conceal or tokenize the aerials on cordless 2 line phones. Manufacturers have gone for style over functionality. Our impression is that ultra stylish phones with no visible ariel have more issues with cordless phone range and voice clarity. Finding a seriously prominent ariel on the DECT4096 was a promising omen. There was a lot of interest in the DECT 4086 when it was first released. Uniden has millions of loyal customers and it's new generation of DECT 6.0 phones were eagerly anticipated. Unfortunately while the DECT4086's specs are impressive the phone was a disappointment. The great majority of consumer reviews were negative.

These are the features that most consumers are concerned about. Panasonic Two Line Cordless Phones
