Reviews of the VTech VT5831

CNET Review
The Good: Operates in the 5.8GHz frequency; built-in speakerphone on the base and handset; accepts up to six handsets; solid battery life.
The Bad: Experienced some interference on the 2.4GHz band in our tests; small phone book; no answering machine; headset sold separately.
The Bottom Line: The 5831 falls a tad behind other 5.8GHz phones but not by much.
Manufacturer: VTech
Part number: VT5831
