I received this cordless phone as a gift.  I was looking for something simple with caller ID and call waiting.  This phone system is great if you need an extra phone in the house.  I only have to connect one unit in the wall jack and the other simply plugs into an electrical outlet anywhere in the house.  It has great range reception too.  I have taken it...

Have you heard of "Twin speak"? The language some twins make up between the two of them. No one else knows what they are saying, except for the twins.My two sons began speaking to each other in spanish. It is driving me crazy, especially when they really don't want me knowing what they are saying to each other. It all started when I we got Matt, our youngest son, vtech's Langu...

  The Vtech Learning Laptop for kids four and up is a great learning toy.  My daughter always wants to play with our laptop.  We took her to the store and this is what she picked out.  She is three, but wanted this because "it's like daddy's laptop."    It is mostly too advance for her, but she still enjoys playing with it.  There is a music ...

The Vtech rhyme and discovery book is an electronic toy for little ones disguised as a book. The toy features some favorite nursery rhymes, including twinkle twinkle little star and others, each with its only little movable feature that will cause it to light up and play music and sing. The star one will let you jiggle the star side to side and move it around while you hear the song. I like the...

The VTech Kidizoom Digital Camera was really a great invention.  My children both always want my camera so buying this was a no brainer.  The memory is a perfect size for children who really don't need to store pictures for any long period of time.  The display screen is really no different than the display screens on Kodak, Canon and other various digital cameras that adults...

The VTech Happy Lights Bear looked cute in the box. My 5 month old baby was so excited when I showed her the box. She hugged on it the entire time in the store. I thought it was cute and had a catchy song when you push the on button. Once we got it home and out of the box, I was not crazy about the bear. The head, arms and legs are soft but the body was hard pastic. The buttons light up and hav...

I am always looking for toys that are fun and educational. This holiday season I also focused on toys that were safe and long lasting as I was tired of the product recalls and poor construction. For my 3-year-old son I chose the VTech Fly and Learn Globe to give him an interactive and educational toy to play with. At first glance this globe is very colorful and bright, which appealed to my son ...

This is the second set of cordless phones I've purchased in the last 3 months.  When I bought the first set I was looking for something that had individual ringtones that could be assigned to each caller.  But now I don't care about the ringtones... I need a "message notifier"!!I REALLY need some kind of "beep" warning to tell me I have messages o...

We live on the top of a hill.  Three times since we’ve lived here lightning has killed a phone / answering machine. So I’ve had some experience in finding ones l like that meet our needs.This is actually a phone / answering machine system, and I will review each portion of that system separately, since they each have quite a few features.The first requirement for us in an answe...

We purchased this phone system primarily for the three-mailbox answering machine.  But we were also very happy that it had one handset with the base unit, and a second remote handset.  I regret to say that this is not as wonderful as we had hoped.You can see the review of the Answering Machine portion of this unit here.First, the specs:This phone has more features than we have ever us...

I bought a new cordless phone. It was a spur of the moment buy. I did not research the matter as usual. It was a Vtech cs5111 phone. It looked very nice on the box. It had an impressive range of features. Some of the features included: it was 5.8 GHz, it had call waiting, caller id, and voicemail.It has a nice large lighted display that shows the number calling, the time, the date, battery ba...

I bought this laptop through ebay in August this year for my soon to be 3 year old daughter. (Turning 3 this December) Got it at a much expensive price than you can get anywhere else since where I am staying currently, they don't sell this.My daughter loves the laptop because it somehow has the features of a real laptop. A keypad, a detachable mouse that really clicks and can move on a smal...

I bought the V. Smile Baby unit to help my children learn words and interaction. Do you want to know where it is now? In a box, not being used and a waste of money. I was a new mom trying to do everything I could to help my children learn, not knowing that V. Smile Baby was useless. An educational DVD is by far the better choice to teach or just reading and teaching them yourself. The unit cons...

VTech 5.8GHz 4 Handset Cordless Phone with Digital Answering SystemWe purchased the vtech 4 handset cordless phones from woot.com, this past March. Now for $42.99 for 4 cordless phones, this was a really good deal, plus it had an answering system. Note: woot charges $5.00 for shipping on any item and for those not familiar with woot.com, they offer a different item every day.I received these ph...

This is a set of 3 cordless handsets with one connected base with an answering machine. The other satellite bases only serve as charging stations. The good: three phones in a package is great for a large home -- don't need to buy several cordless phones. The 5.8ghz provides reliable static free sound with sufficient range (I haven't tried it down at the neighbors house to see if it would rea...
