Review on πŸ“ž Crosley CR55-BK Wall Phone: Push Button Convenience in Sleek Black Design by Heather Morales

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Don't expect much from office electronics

Pros: Looks great. Very similar to my childhood wall phone. The sound quality of what you hear is decent. So-so: The quality of the device itself is just okay, not outstanding. The middle button for flash and redial is not very good. Not so good: 1 - The person I spoke to said that the quality they heard was very poor. 2 - The electronic mouthpiece was crackling, I wanted to unscrew it to see if the connection was loose. The attached reeds were so small and unreliable that they literally broke when I removed the mouthpiece cover with very little effort. I had to tape the whole mouthpiece back. I believe that at some point I can get a spare phone if needed. This is just my backup phone in case of a power outage - I won't be talking about it for a long time. With all that, it's serviceable, but not good at all. Don't expect anything more than a cool looking backup landline. Which is actually very bad because it would be better if Crosley put more time and effort into making it a great vintage style phone.

Pros
  • Fashion plate with dial and button technology
Cons
  • Expensive
