Philips has quality problems

Philips CD4961B / DE cordless phone (4.6 cm (1.8 inch) color display, ECO + mode, speakerphone, voice mail) (Electronics)

Customer Review

First thing first: I had bought on the basis of the test results of Stiftung Warentest, the Philips CD4961B / DE.

But the phone delivered me somehow not suited to that which was described there. Although it had the same name and the same appearance.

Goods testers would equal but have noticed that the handset will never stand up straight in the base. Already described here in previous reviews, the handset always hung diagonally in the base. The base itself is very light and has a total "cheap".

The graphics of the display is so-so. She reminds me of the old Nokia 3210. It should not be misled by the product photos above you look. The must have been subsequently optimized. They do not reflect reality.

With the two points I certainly could still be alive. But the sound quality of my device was unbearable.
I built it in different rooms, set different modes and connect different cable. Even times to the cable network and you swam in the landline socket.
Whether next to the base or in a - three feet away, it occurred repeatedly scratching and cracking noises. These were not uniform but sometimes low and sometimes annoying. The caller on the other end got them with nothing. In addition to the inquiries when I once again did not understand anything.
At first I thought it might be due to my connection or close to radios. But a phone of another brand had no such problems and a change of location of the Philips did not help yes.
In addition, the tone was far from HQ! The term is not protected yes. But it sounded more like "bio". The term is also not protected.
Maybe it was a faulty speaker? I'll never know.

Conclusion: No buy recommendation from me

How can the experience of buyers go so apart?

It seems as though Philips thus to keep a problem with the quality standard throughout in series. Possibly are not stable enough for the shipping built. Although my Philips LCD TV showing an excellent image. But it had in the first few months after purchase twice the repair center.

Great when it works! Rank: 3/5
