VTech VT5831

67% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

Operates in the 5.8GHz frequency; built-in speakerphone on the base and handset; accepts up to six handsets; solid battery life.

Experienced some interference on the 2.4GHz band in our tests; small phone book; no answering machine; headset sold separately.

The 5831 falls a tad behind other 5.8GHz phones but not by much.

Decent range, an impressive array of features, ease of use and oh yeh, cool styling!

Vtech had an almost perfect phone, but ruined it with a lousy battery.
