Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Decide what you need from your new answering machine. Some Uniden models, like the TRU-8885-2, have multiple headsets, speakerphone, baby monitor and walkie-talkie capabilities, while more basic models like the TRU 9485 come equipped with more standard extras like caller ID.

Step2

Choose your budget. Research current prices on Uniden answering machines and see if the model with the high end features you had your eye on is out of your price range. Check whether the Unidens fitting your budget have the desired features you need. Consider buying a used or refurbished model on Ebay.com to get more features for your buck.

Step3

Compare different Uniden models with the features and price you're looking for by reading reviews on Cnet.com. The editor's review offers a thorough analysis of the pros and cons of each model, plus it explains changes in technology from older models. Also read user reviews to see how consumers rank the different Unidens.

Step4

Get the best price once you have decided on which Uniden model you want to buy. Type the model number into search engines like Froogle.com and Buy.com for the best available prices. Include shipping costs and any store coupons you might have when making your comparison.
