State-of-the-art performance with a sharp, sensible design
If you like its features, you'll probably like this phone a lot. It's the best I've owned during the past 30 years. Considering my own relatively basic tastes and needs, I especially like the following:

If you like its features, you'll probably like this phone a lot. It's the best I've owned during the past 30 years. Considering my own relatively basic tastes and needs, I especially like the following:
* simple yet elegant design
* large display, with large text and good lighting
* a very usable speakerphone option
* a dedicated phone book button and handy joystick design
* a phone book that auto-transfers to all handsets
* automatic sleep mode for night-time silence
* generally easy programming even for klutzes like me
* an answering machine with mindlessly simple operation
* and most important, great sound quality and reception
But I don't like these:
* the lack of a ringer on-off switch on the handset
To be fair, though, few phones have such a button these days.
* the fact that I had to return my first unit
The first unit I received had a lot of background static and a slightly skewed visual display, but I'm glad that I tried another. The second unit has crystal clear sound and all looks good. If you notice either of these probs, I'd suggest trying another unit.
You know, it's just a phone, but I'm thoroughly satisfied after a month's use. Great phone, fair price, and reliable Amazon service even when a problem arose. Can't beat that.
UPDATE AFTER SIX MONTHS' USE: No surprises, no regrets. I stand by my review fully. In fact, I recently bought the 4-pack model for my elderly parents, and they couldn't be happier. They especially like its simple, attractive design and its large, bright display. What most impresses them, though, is the handy speakerphone option, which they use exclusively. For anyone with reduced hearing (or tender ears or busy hands), the loud and clear speakerphone could be a primary draw.

I recently ordered this phone, my husband and I think it is fantastic! It has lots of options but the one we most appreciate is the call block feature. It has helped to make our lives a little more hassle free with no telemarketers calling! We also appreciate the larger number display, and the all around ease of navigating the different programs. We are delighted.....excellent quality and excellent price, what more could one ask for?

Love the talking caller ID, block number, and speaker phone features. Menu navigation is easy and intuitive. Also love that it uses regular rechargeable AAA batteries so you don't have to find a specialty battery to replace them once they start to go downhill - just buy some new rechargeables at the grocery store.

I recently purchased this phone and have it in use for a few months now. I like the phone a lot. It looks elegant and stylish while providing all the functionality I was looking for.
Working from home frequently, I was looking for a phone that didn't have the usual battery packs, but comes with standard rechargeable batteries that I can easily (and more economically) replace when the capacity of the existing batteries is diminished. This is what made me look into this product.
What I really like about this phone:
* uses and comes with standard rechargeable batteries that can be easily replaced by just going out and buying new ones instead of having to speacial order a manufacturer-specific battery pack. Also, if you're on the phone a lot, you can keep a charged set of spare rechargeable batteries on hand and simply swap between calls.
* The text to speech caller-ID is nice! No need to get up and look at the phone display, only to realize it's an 800 number that you don't recognize
* styling of the phone itself
What I don't like too much and could use some improvement
* The top of the handset is a little too edgy to be really comfortable for longer calls, unless you use a headset. A little more rounded design would be appreciated.
* talking Caller-ID doesn't come on until after the 2nd ring. It would be nice to have it come on after the first ring.
Overall, I like the phone a lot and the shortcomings are minor to me.

This phone is everything it was advertised to be. Stayed charged for long periods and has good audio. It has many features including "Call Block" for unwanted calls..which not many others offer. It is small, light and compact....I am extremely please with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

This Phone is easy to set up and at the beginning,Great. Then I got "cannot connect to base"
Looked at instructions,Panasonic has a separate flowchart Just for this problem. "Hint Hint"
Reconnected base power-worked
1hr later same thing,30min later same thing on second phone,this continued throughout the day,One time per instructions had to remove batteries and replace them..problem happened again 2hrs this time. No warning when this happens,You only know when you look at antenna symbol that phone is inoperable. Do not trust this phone-returned phone the next day
Ordered Panasonic corded/cordless phone,KX-TG1062M. Base is corded and works in power outages
and does not have the "cannot connect to base problems". Has almost all features of this phone..Good alternative

I like the looks of it. THe sound wasn't as good as i was expecting. the only thing i don't like is the fact the caller id does not show the time the person called.
