We needed a new cordless phone and read the reviews here and elsewhere. Decided on this phone and haven't been sorry. The sound is clear and strong (not a lot of static even out in our back yard), and even after dropping it on the concrete once it still works like new.

The speakerphone feature and jack for hands-free use are icing on the cake.

You are done looking, buy this phone.

I bought this phone for my Father. It is the third or fourth cordless phone that I have bought him in the last year. He hated all the rest and we gave them away. He really likes this phone its very clear and it was the cheapest of all the phones I bought for him.

I have *fallen in love* with this phone since I bought it a week back. this is at the lower end of the panasonic 5.8ghz line of models.

These are the reasons I like the fone

* 5.8ghz which will not interrupt with my wi-fi networks
* Handset speakerphone - Very good quality
* 3-4 monotone and 3 music ringers (can be customized for callers)
* Handset light indicator - 3 colors - again can be customized for callers - Useful when you want silent option
* Excellent range and call quality

It does not have the following features

* Dual Keypad
* Ringer for base
* Answering machine
* Caller id announcement
* and some more

These do not bother me since I knew what I was buying. Obviously if you need these there are higher end panasonic models that you can go for.

Good phone, sounds great, speaker is clear and loud, worth the money, good range, 4 hour conference calls no problem, headset also TOK, Easy to use - buy this phone.

Home phones don't get a lot of hype these days since many people are converting to cell phones, but if you aren't addicted to your cell just yet, this is the best option for home use.

The recepiton is clear and the phone is easy to use. An orange backlit display is easy to read and easy on the eyes. Features such as an address book, speakerphone, and handset locator are all present as well.

My favorite feature is the color-coded Caller ID system. Numbers can be programmed to flash red, yellow, green, or a pattern of the three. This way, you can be sitting across the room and just glance over to see if it's your parents, your girlfriend, or the doctor's office. There are also many different ringtones to choose from that can be applied just like the color-coded bars.

The phone comes not only in silver, but also in white (which I have). This system is not expandable, but considering the good range of the phone and the small size it is possible to just stick this one in your pocket or on your belt (a clip is included) and port it around the house.

This is definitely a good phone, and a good value for the money. Panasonic builds reliable products (I have a 25 year old Panasonic VCR that still works!) so I'd imagine this one will last me for a good while.

This phone has all the features I could want: excellent sound quality, easy to follow set-up instructions, great LCD screen, excellent range and a host of other little benefits. The message light on the phone antenna is my favorite suprise. An outstanding value with everything you need and, for me, few features that I don't use.

Update: 5/27/07 I have used the phone for over a year now, it has worked flawlessly on all accounts, the internal phone book is a very nice feature. When I get a message using my VOIP service, the phone antenna will blink until I dial my message center and retrieve them.

* This is the best looking phone I have ever seen!
* The range of this phone is remarkable, I can make a call one block from the base unit. This base unit is located in a back bedroom and it can transmits threw two walls of plaster and then a brick exterior, I have not tried any further distances.
* It has excellent voice quality, almost as good as any corded phone although a bit weaker then the all star KX-TG2357,however if you don't have one, you would never know.
* It does not have features that I don't need, and it has all the features I do need, This translated into a saving because I am not paying for something I don't use or need, like the 123 channels of worthless cable TV programing I pay for just to get the two channels I want.
* The speaker phone is also exceptional, your caller can not tell you are on a speaker phone, but of course your audio quality sucks.
* The phone charges quickly and holds a charge exceedingly well.
* The phone's LED display and key pad will light up with a nice amber glow, enabling you to see the input information easily.
* The phone flashes a notification light when you have an incoming call, this is great for the hearing impaired, the ring tone can be changed to your liking and the volume as well.
* The phone has an ear phone jack for telemarketing or for the hearing impaired.
I am using this phone with my VOIP service, it's good looks, excellent audio and range of operation, make it is a sure bet.

this phone works great, a concern I had was battery life - but that seems to be fine. I use this with a VOIP system and the clarity is perfect. Also no interference with my wireless or other stuff

Reception very clear. Easy to set up the features. REally like the fact that the antenna lights up when an incoming call comes in because I like listening to the radio and sometimes I play it alittle loud. I also like the assigned ring tones this way everyday calls can be identified just by ring tone. This way if I am busy and a call comes in let's say from my neighbor I know that I don't have to drop everything my caller id is also another plus. It will take awhile to set everything up but in the long run it will be to your advantage.

I am very pleased with the phone clarity and range. I was looking for a phone that would work with a network setup and not interfer. My last phone was a Uniden 5.8 GHz EXI 5160 and that phone was a waste of money. It didn't last longer then a year. The battery would no longer hold a charge and I could not walk around my house without getting interference and going out of range. I highly recommend the Panasonic KX-TG5421S 5.8 GHz to anyone who has been sick and tired of the quality of 5.8 GHz that have been being manufactured. The quality on so many of them has been far worse then 900 Mhz was! I am able to walk freely throughout my home without losing any clarity or having any range problems and it does not interfer with my Linksys Wireless G setup. And the price is also great!!
