My previous DECT 6 phone broke recently and I picked this one because I don’t need answering machine.

This is 2010 model from Panasonic without the answering machine. If you are looking for answering machine, explore KX-TG4031B which is similar to this one with answering machine.

Cons:

- It takes 3 to 4 seconds to open the phone book, i just have 15 contacts stored (half star rating less for this).

- No Talking Caller ID on this model as advertised in the item description (half star rating less for this).

- Can save only 50 numbers in the phone book.

- Speaker phone exists only in the handset not in the base. I think this is same for most basic phones in the market.

Pros:

- Can conference 2 outgoing calls like we do in cell phone.

- Great call quality both using handset and speaker phone, but i have not noticed the call quality difference between DECT 6 and DECT 6 PLUS technology.

- Excellent range and changes to ECO mode when the handset is closer to the base during the call to increase talk time.

- Great battery life. After the full battery charge, I used this phone continuously for 2 hours and I still see 2 bars out of 3 in the battery indicator.

- Light weight handset. The handset uses 2 rechargeable AAA batteries which is easy to get.

- Large buttons in the number pad. The screen is clear and you can see the caller ids clearly.

- I am using one handset but this system can be Expandable up to 6 handsets.

Bought this product almost a month ago.

Pros:

1) Easy to use. Date/Time all are pre-configured!

2) Easy to setup (I got it all started in less than 5mins). Comes with batteries but need to be charged before any long usage duration.

3) Intuitive functions

4) GREAT speaker phone!!! (I was surprised to see this!)

5) Easy to read display, with black digital font on a whitish background.

6) Pretty good battery life. It goes for hours before you need to recharge.

7) A device locator could come handy at times.

Range is fairly decent but haven’t really tested its max.

9) No sign of damage after a couple of drops. Pretty sturdy!

Cons:

1) Not a very comfortable set to be squeezed between your head and shoulder. Use a hands-free for extended usage.

I would highly recommend it.
