They have certainly stood up to the durability test. We have been using these handsets at our business for about 3 years now and they have been dropped on cement floors, soaked in water and used to answer phone calls all day long. The only reason that I did not give them 5 stars is the rubber around the edges has worn off on some of the handsets and the numbers and lettering on one of the keypads are no longer visible.
I cannot even get asignal from 15 feet on the other side of the office wall. I have 8 standard Uniden receivers and they all get receptionin the same spots. Mine cannot be used past 30 feet from the base. This thingsucks.
It's the best phone of the entire set. I would recommend this too anyone that wants an "outdoor" phone. We bought the phone set from Sams Club and it came with this Waterproof Handset. I had an accident and mine got smashed, so I reordered another one because it's such a great phone.
Can't say enough about the intercom feature now being available to us in the waterproof version. My son was playing with it in the spa just to test it. And using the older waterproof version was okay too (but no compatible features). Had the older version and that worked okay but it was sometimes very hard to hear if the phone got wet. BTW, the intercom feature on the phones works so well, that we've stopped using our hardwired intercom system in the house. Haven't actually let it fall to the bottom of our 8-foot pool (which is conveniently the max depth of waterproofness of this phone).I love the fact that the TWX977 accessory handset is fully compatible with our TRU9488.
But now, we can really indulge our laziness :) and just call anyone who happens to be inside on the intercom while we're outside in the pool or spa to come bring us drinks, towels or whatever. Bought this phone on 4/20/08. THIS phone works great even after getting soaked. Using the regular handset outdoors was okay if we weren't near the water.
º I have great range with the phones and can use them any ware within about 150 feet from the base. So I swim with one and use the other next to the shower. This phone can swim with you. One at my apt in Sherman oaks, CA, and one at my house in West Palm Beach, FL.
But it¡¦s a pain to get it if it floats away whirl on your raft. Both phones have NEVER given me a problem, and like any water proof equipment just simply tap out the ear piece if it gets wet and it works perfectly. I use the one in Sherman oaks while I¡¦m ¡§in¡¨ the pool, and the West Palm Beach one in the shower. I have two of there¡¦s phones. I get a lot of phone calls from clients from both the east and west costs and at the worst times, and being bi-costal sure makes that a little more difficult them I¡¦d like.
And yes, I recommend this phone to just about anyone who values the life of there cell phone around a pool.
