Panasonic KX-TG7533B DECT 6.0 PLUS Expandable Digital Cordless Phone and Answering System with 3 Handsets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Panasonic KX-TG7533B DECT 6.0 PLUS Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System with 3 Handsets largely because of my past experience with Pansonic Quality and the features listed. I was especially interested in the large keys, large high contrast LCD display and in general the well thought out layout of the units.
Usually before I make a purchase, I generally research it fairly well. As this product was relatively new when I purchased it several weeks ago, there were only two other reviews at Amazon and really not a lot of other user information else where. With all other cordless phones I've used in the past, I have always experienced difficulty with the small, low contrast LCD display (without reading glasses) and quite often with the low call volume and limited range. Since I have also experienced frequent disconnection of my Wi-Fi laptop internet connection when using other cordless phones anywhere in my home, I was very excited to hear about the DECT 6.0 advantages.
The Amazon vendor we brought from (Sixth Avenue Electronics)was excellent to deal with, providing the lowest price we found. Shipment of the units was very rapid (even earlier than indicated for UPS ground) and the unit arrived in excellent condition. Following the instructions I let all the handset charge for 7 hours to obtain a full charge and then did the set up which was very simple and went without a hitch. I was absolutely delighted with every aspect of the phones. It was by far and a way the easiest to read and listen to of any cordless phone I have ever used. We received many compliments about the clarity of the calls we made and the calls we received so far are also excellent. I am happy to say that have not experienced the phones causing interfence problems with my lap top or anything else.
The range of these phones is excellent, I am able to make and receive high quality calls from any place in my house or yard, and to date I have been able to use the phones reliably outside my house from more than 300 ft from the base (without the use of the optional extender). While I haven't used the phone for more than several weeks, at this point both the battery life and standby time have exceeded the rated specs.
I had read some criticism on similar earlier models that you had to go through several menu layers for some features. While this is true for some features, it is not at all difficult or confusing. In fact, Panasonic has optional simple numeric codes you can key in to get to the features even faster if you wish. Another minor criticism we read about the phones was the limited ring tones available (about 5 tones and 5 melodies, I believe). While the ones provided were basic and not as extensive as you might find on a typical cell phone, we found several that we could live with and were quite adequate for our needs.
In addition to the features mentioned so far there are really many things both my wife and I really like about this phone. One of these things is information sharing. So for example, you enter into memory in one handset caller information for someone, and it is immediately available for your other handsets. We really enjoy the intercom and call conferencing features. They are very easy to use and work well. The caller block feature is also very easy to use. Since I presently have voice mail service with my telephone service provider, I was also very pleasantly surprised to find how easy and convenient the phone is to bypass the built in answering machine when I want to. With a single button I can simply retrieve voice messages. We also enjoy the use of the silent mode feature of the phones, where we can program the times during which a given handset ringer will ring. All in all, this is by far and away the highest quality and most useful cordless phone I have used to date.

Panasonic DECT 6.0 3-Handset Expandable Digital Cordless Phone with Answering System and ChoiceMail (KX-TG7433B) (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After my last Panasonic DECT 6.0 3-phone system inexplicably stopped working, I sought a similar replacement set. I've generally found Panasonic phones to be very reliable and figured my last purchase was simply a lemon (occasionally happens to the best). I ended up purchasing the KX-TG7433. The first thing I have to say is that the phone is gorgeous. The black shiny finish is much more sleek and attractive than the previous bland beige Panasonic I owned. The display is also much larger and vivid with a high-contrast black on gray LCD with large easily readable characters. The LCD and keypad are both well illuminated when any button is pushed. The time and date are prominently displayed on the LCD in standby mode. When you have a missed call or message waiting, it is also clearly displayed on the handset LCD, as well as a flashing amber LED on top of the handset. The set comes with three handsets, a base with built-in digital answering machine, and two charging bases for the extra handsets. In addition to the time and date, the LCD also displays icons for phone book, menu, and redial above their respective buttons. The center menu joystick is nice and intuitive, but it also brings about my only gripe. On my previous Panasonic phones, the most important buttons (caller ID, voice mail, redial, and phone book) were all one touch access. On this model, you have a few one touch items (mentioned above), but most features have to be accessed through the menu. Phone book items entered on one handset are automatically shared with the other handsets.
Voice quality is excellent as usual for Panasonic. Although I personally would prefer the volume to be a tad bit louder at the higher end, both the handset and speaker phone have adequate loudness and clarity for most people. There are no sudden drop outs or other sound issues like I occasionally experienced with the prior DECT 6.0 phone. The phone features talking caller ID, which is really cool. A female robotic voice will announce (or sometimes comically try her best to announce), the name of the caller (the voice cannot be changed, like on a GPS). The announcement is loud and clear and really comes in handy because you can decide whether or not to answer the phone if you are away from the handset, without disrupting whatever you're doing. The voice will also function as an alarm clock and even alert you when the battery is low. This model also has a new feature called "Choice Mail", which allows you to view caller ID info for pending messages and selectively choose and play them in any order. Sadly, this feature only works with the built in digital answer machine. If you subscribe to your telephone service provider's voice mail service, as I do, you're out of luck. Panasonic did not completely leave telecom voice mail service subscribers out of the equation. There are separate icons in the menu for the built-in answer device and subscription voice mail service. Like previous Panasonic models, the handset will automatically dial your voice mail service access number if you select the option. If you do plan to use the built-in answer service, it offers 18 minutes of record time and the choice mail feature, so that's a major plus. However, I can't comment on the built-in voice mail quality because I don't use the feature. The phone also features a privacy mode which allows you to choose periods when all, or select, phones will alert you with visual lights instead of an audible ring, and call block mode which allows you to block unwanted numbers from ringing. Battery life is better than average. Even with all the extra bells and whistles like talking caller ID and the larger LCD, I still get basically the same battery life, (approx 2 days between charges with several hrs accumulated talk time), as my previous phone which had a smaller dimmer LCD and non-illuminated keypad. I believe I can get even more battery life, because I have yet to hear the robotic battery alarm. However, I tend to recharge when the meter reaches one bar, just to be on the safe side. This model still uses the AAA size Ni-MH batteries.
I am really happy with this phone, especially at the current price. It's an unbeatable bargain. It has features galore, good sound quality, solid build, and a gorgeous design.
