VTech CS5119 6 Expandable Cordless Phone-Paykobo.com

The VTech CS5119 is part of the Cordless phones test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Cordless phone models like the CS5119 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Voice quality: Voice quality considers listening quality which reflects what you hear and talking, what’s heard by other phones. Tests were conducted in a quiet environment.

Phone ease of use: This score mainly covers handset weight and comfort, talk time, ease of phone set up and use, readability of labels; accessibility, location, and size of controls and buttons; and other convenience factors, such as auto talk, any key answer, lighted keypad, one-touch dial, and others.

Range: This score reflects the tested distance a phone can maintain an intelligible conversation, make a call and receive a call. We report a score instead of a distance because range can differ greatly due to variables such as phone base location, home size, room configuration, construction materials, multiple stories, wiring and other electrical and physical interferences. A low scoring phone is more likely to have some connection problems at short distances such as between different floors in a house or when going outside the house while a high scoring phone is less likely to have connection problems and can typically keep a clean signal in all but the largest of homes or when you go outside your home.
