Great package, it set up easily, good range on the portable phones and the audio quality is very good. It has many useful functions including an illuminated screen on the base station which makes it easy to identify a caller. I'm very happy with this product.

Ordered one base and 2 handsets. Easy to set up, sound quality good, but not great and the handset is comfortable. One cradle came in defective and Vtech was good in replacing the whole set even though I only needed the cradle. I originally called the actual shipper 3 times before he called back. Then he shipped me the cradle reasonably quickly. One design flaw is that the red charging light stays lit all the time and doesn't turn to green to let you know that the handset is fully charged. This is particularly irksome if the handset has run down the battery and you don't know whether you can have a complete conversation before the handset shuts down.

Overall, I like the Vtech DS6151 and the extra handset DS6101 and believe my choice to purchase it was the best decision given those available. I also purchased an extra base station and 4 additional handsets so some of my comments reference that experience. That being said, here are my observations. The good: * Setup was easy: plug in; attach phone line(s) and you are set. * Clarity of sound for calls is very good. * Signal coverage is good, even for one base station to its registered handsets. The not-so-good: * Lacks individualized ring tones for those in your directory. * Lacks the ability to announce the name and number of the caller. * Lacks the ability to rename the handsets (or the 'base' station). * Extra base station does not interfere, but at the same time, does not work in conjunction with another base station. * An extra base station expands handset coverage only for those handsets registered with that specific base station (no hand-off to the closest base station). * Because of this you cannot use the intercom to call handsets that are registered to a different base station. * Would be nice to have the option to turn on the LCD screen light on the base station all the time, not just when pressing buttons. I can't speak to the functions of the answering machine as I don't use that feature.Read full review

Nearly perfect - the only issue is thet they do not provide you with information regarding the socket type which was only 100v.. which does not match with Malta and UK. I had to spend another euro50- in sockets to make it work. I believe that by replacing these sockets with 100-240v this would make a perfect sell. However, delivery was fine and the set is working well...a pity only on this.A great buy.

Can't really beat all the features included, the range, or clear sound, for anywhere near the same price. You have to get use to the menus and buttons a little, but was easy to set up and most defaults didn't need to be changed. Had just about every feature one would want on a two line phone, plus the ability to add lots of additional handsets. Main complaint is the handset LED indicator doesn't blink when there is a message waiting, making you have to pick it up and activate the screen to check. At least the Base Station flashes, but that doesn't help when you have handsets everywhere else. One other minor feature missing was that there is no option to select whether to auto answer when you pick up the handset. Other than that, you just can't beat this product for anywhere near the same cost.Read full review
