Don't even waste your money on this machine. I bought this machine about a year ago and it's ready for the garbage. When callers call, we can hear them and they can't hear us. As for the faxing/copying function, it now just prints out blank pages, even though the ink film is fairly new. When trying to fax, it always jammed if there was more than one page needing to be transmitted. Also, the ink film doesn't last very long. The only nice thing about this fax machine is the look and the cordless phone w/ caller id. I contacted Panasonic by phone and the recordings kept giving me different phone numbers to call. I emailed them my problem, haven't heard from them. I'm definitely not purchasing Panasonic again.

This machine takes very expensive ink to make it work. It works out to about $0.20 per page. Also, the machine is not that good anyways.

Form factor is very attractive and the phone and answering machine work well, but the fax machine is not good at all. Copies are quite weak, and faxing more than one page guarantees a misfeed. You really have to feed one page at a time to successfully send a multi-page fax.

If you only fax once in a blue moon but want a home fax, consider this system. If your usage pattern is heavier, keep looking.

Piece of garbage! That's why I'm on here looking for a new one. The cordless phone half is great, the fax machine blows. Constant missfeeds...have to babysit it. I'm gonna try a sharp.

The battery on the handset died within months and a replacement is at least $40! The ink in the copier/fax smudges everywhere and ran out after 6 months of very little use. Replacement is another $20. The navigation on the phone menu was designed by a dyslexic third grader and the reception is terrible. Nuff said!

the picture shown has no relevance to the item offered and I can find no data on how long on average the film will last before it has to be replaced. Inexpensive machine, expensive ink required to make it work

I agree with other reviewers that this machine's ink is very expensive. I will also add that I have owned this machine for close to three years and use infrequently in my home. However, when I do have to use you must baby-sit and manually feed the fax trasmission making sure the machine faxes correctly. The only reason I give this 2 stars is because I still like the smaller size for my home office which has little storage space.

I purchased this item in August 2004 because I have very limited space and it was a cordless phone, answering machine and fax machine all in one. The fax part has always been a problem. You can only send one page at a time and even then, as others have said, you have to babysit the machine and make sure the one page feeds correctly. It received faxes fine for awhile and then started jamming and paper would not feed properly or not at all.

The answering machine has worked fine as has the phone, but I really need the fax function (if only for receiving about 10 a week and sending about 5 a week). Even with that small workload, this machine stinks. I'll never buy anything from Panasonic again.

With my experience with this item because I got one that works great for all the time I got this. My model is older than this I bought this at Sams Club in about 5 years ago, but one part get broke, but the machine still working, but dont have fax, I dont know why some people rate this as a bad product

It's just as brand new as described by the seller. I am pretty satisfied of such an affordable price. The only flaw is that the machine smells like cigarettes. I would like to see the seller quit smoking before selling it to me. :)
