Uniden Visual and Hearing Impaired SSE35

Nothing but trouble – Since buying this for my business a month or so ago it's been playing up more than working. 'Out of range' and actually not allowing incoming phone calls because of it means a loss of business to me. Googling the issue to see it it is a quick fix made me realise it's a very common problem and probably a defect of the phone!? Not impressed. I'll be steering clear of this brand when I purchase another to replace this!!!  Show details

Does what it says on the box – Needed an easy to use handset for an elderly grandparent suffering from dementia and almost deaf so had to be very easy to use. Very happy with the purchase as the device is sturdy, easy to hear and notice when it rings and sound is very good. Yes it is chunky but for someone with dementia and visual impairments it is just what is needed. Happy to recommend  Show details

Not userfriendly – The phone works perfectly on outwards calls but it is impossible to receive a call or a message. The manual is incomprehensible and it is impossible to get it to work properly, despite many attempts. On that basis, it has to be classified as not fit for purpose and therefore junk.  Show details

How to put the ringer on – Good big letters for oder generation. Nice and loud with the booster function. Very happy with the phone. Its good for the older generation, but they cannot unfortunately ring the phonebook selections because theres too many steps to do that. The price was in relation to the functions of the phone ok.  Show details

Excellent Phone – We needed to replace our Panafax UF-S2 landline phone that had served us well for many years, but was now prone to "dropping in and out " during conversations. The XDECT SSE35 was identified by the Harvey Norman salesman, as being a top seller. Not only was the phone competitively priced, it has the added benefit of being user friendly for those… Read more

Our first Cordless Phone we are still learning its capabilities, and have had no recharging issues to date. The Uniden takes up far less space than the landline. Extremely easy to set up (I had read of problems, but experienced none). The Out-Going Message is simple to record and Incoming Message alerts are clearly displayed. The Redial feature stores the last 50 incoming numbers as well as the last 10 dialed numbers, a real saving in the need to fully dial numbers.

A little disappointed with a brand I have trusted for many years – I have always purchased Uniden cordless phones as they have always had a good range (we live on acreage), were reliable and also had a headset connection. I am however a little disappointed with the SSE35. I purchased this model as my hubby is starting to need to use glasses for close up reading and also needed something with a loud ringer as we… Read more

want to hear it down at our shed. So from that perspective, the phone is great however the downside is that the speaker on the handset is always a little distorted and the phone has poor battery life. I am hoping that Uniden can fix these issues as my daughter has the same handset and has also given me identical feedback.

Good vs Bad – Phone book to difficult for my 91 year old father to access. Also, I cannot find a speed dial function to get around this problem. Large numbers are wonderful for elderly and the end button a clear reminder that you need to do this!
