Panasonic KX-TG5432M 5.8 GHz Platinum Cordless Phone with Answering System and Dual Handsets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had to buy a new answering machine because my former, an AT& T digital model finally was biting the dust; it was almost 15 years old! I did some research on digital answering machines, and decided that it's be best to get one with a handset.
I love all the features on it as it suits my needs and more:
*The answering device is very clear; so far all messages have been recorded with time & date with clarity. The buttons on the answering machine is user friendly.
*The speaker phone and intercom allows me to buzz my teenage daughter in the lower level of the house instead of shouting.
*The handset, despite it being made of plastic, feels substantial and looks stylish. The orange backlit light is pleasant and useful when dialing in the dark. Voice clarity is great; I have set it on voice enhancer and I think its like having the person you're talking to almost be in the next room.
*The settings are easy to follow in the manual. There aren't so many bells and whistles as well as tech stuff that would drive me to flush the manual,and return the phone.
*The phone and answering device is compact and I like the silver and grey coloring; it has a rich stylish look and doesn't take up so much room.
I would have given this phone 5 stars. My only complaint is that the buttons on the handset are really tiny, and I find myself reaching for my reading glasses to look at what I'm doing. The hanset itself is on the smallish side but again, I think time will help me adjust to its size.
I think, though, that over time, I will naturally get use to the buttons . Its only been a week since I have had the phone and already I am used to the on and off buttons without having to eyeball them.
I purchased the phone at Best Buy for $10 more than what Amazon is offering because I had to replace my former dying machine right away.
I bought this phone because I only needed a certain amount of items on it. I didn't need the speaker phone but I am glad I have it because its a great feature to have. I think that when a phone has too many features on it, it gets complicated and tends to break easily. Overall, I am really happy with this phone.

Panasonic Dect 6.0 Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System - 4 Handset System (KX-TG9334T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The battle between WiFi and wireless telephones.
We had a mixture of 2.4 gigahertz phones for years that coexisted peacefully with our old wireless G router. Well, the router died and we needed a new one. The newest technology for wireless is "N" with Mimo Technology, which supports both N and G wireless networks. So, of course we buy. After all, now is the future, right?
Mimo WiFi uses several different radio frequency channels (in the 2.4 gigahertz range for G networks) at the same time to assure an optimal radio signal to your WiFi laptops (in our case, G). This works great for the WiFi network, BUT......every time our telephones rang...Poof, the WiFi Signal got scrambled and we lost the network. We tried setting different channels on the phones and the router, nothing worked.
So being in the market for a major upgrade with our now antiquated phone system, we bought this Dect. 6.0 system that uses the 1.9 gigahertz frequency.
First of all..no interference in the WiFi network....NONE!
There are also a few features that I like.
We can now communicate and transfer calls with each other over 5 acres of land with complete security.
Talking Caller ID enables me to save a few steps and decide if I want to answer the call.
Since Vonage (my phone service) does not have specific call block, this phone can block certain pesky incoming calls and give the abusive callers a busy signal to listen to. This is a great feature and the only way Panasonic could improve on it, is to give us a choice between the busy signal or tones that indicate that the phone has been disconnected.
I can't say anything about the voice mail except that you can turn it off quite easily. We use the Vonage voice mail and are quite happy with it.
We are easily adding to the phone book as calls are coming in. I think it is a bit of a hassle to add them in manually.
Different ring tones are nice, and sound pretty. All of us have set up different ring tones and it is quite a symphony in the house when all the phones play their distinct melodies.
Each phone has a speaker phone and my friends can't tell I am using it.
Only the main base need to be plugged into a backup power supply if you want to do that.
All in all, I am very satisfied and am going to add 2 more phones to my 4 phone system.
12/16/2010 Edited to say that phones are still working, but I did have to replace the rechargeable batteries on one of them. The plus side to this is that they are easily replaceable; two Triple A (AAA), Nickle Metal Hydrides!

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.

Panasonic DECT 6.0-Series Dual-Handset Cordless Phone System with Answering System (KX-TG1032S) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this phone about a week ago in order to replace a 2.4 panasonic that died -some numbers were not dialing and finally battery hookup broke off- In general I like the phone but it has some major things I don't like.
Pros: Easy to set up. You get 2 phones with 1 phone jack. Speakers are great! (unlike with my old phone people don't complain when I use them). You can hear answering machines messages from either remote set. Phonebook sharing. You can conference between phones and call each other (big hit with my kids).
Cons:
1. There is something wrong with the volume (I read complains about it in reviews in Circuit city and thought maybe person had hearing problem... but no, they were right). Let me explain: the volume goes up and down by itself for no good reason. One phone call you hear great and next one is really low so you need to adjust volume and it goes up and then down on its own again -sometimes during the same call while you are talking- .... You can live with it, you adjust volume but I don't particularly like playing with volume every other call! For me it is really a pain!
2. Answering machine base don't display the number of messages you have (it has no lcd screen!). No talking id or any other fancy stuff either.
3. When you play messages from answering machine the sound is a little boxy, robot like...not clear. This does not happen if you hear messages from the phones themselves.
In conclusion I would say this is an all right phone, I expected better... but it is also not very expensive and it has the latest technology. I guess now I know why some 5.8 panasonic phones (previous technology) were more expensive than this one... you get what you pay.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have the DECT1580-3 version (3 handsets). My wife and I love it. The range and sound is much better than our 900Mhz and 2.4Ghz phones. Plus at 1.9Ghz these phones no longer interfere with WiFi.
Pros:
*Only one phone jack needed for all phones (great for Vontage or such)
*Great speakerphone really useful with dial-up "customer" service
*Can name each handset, so one can xfer/page by their name/location
*One phone book for all phones (or separate, if desired)
*Lighted keypad
*Number of messages counter on base
*New message light (LED) on phone
*Listen to recorded and screen live incoming messages from any phone
*Easy to add extra handsets as needed (like DWX207 Waterproof Handset)
Cons (all minor gripes):
*Single voice mail box
*No keypad/speakerphone on base
*No headset jacks
*Old style NiCd Batteries instead of better NiMh or Lion
*Base wall mount bracket not included, extra handsets not wall mountable
Overall I would strongly recommend this Uniden Dect6.0 phone.

Panasonic KX-TG4053B DECT 6.0 PLUS Expandable Digital Cordless Phone and Answering System with 3 Handsets & Range Extender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this phone because I needed a phone that would give me better range than my panasonic 5.8gHz model without the interference with my computer equipment. I live in a pretty good sized house, ( 3 stories, 6000 sq. ft., lots of steel too). My 5.8 gHz model didn't quite cut it for range from one side of the house to the other. I really started seeing problems when they installed my wireless network for the house. I did some research and found out that the interference issue was common with 5.8 gHz and the wireless router because they operate on the same bandwidth and therefore can have some interference issues. As for the range, I was out of luck until I found this phone that has an included " range extender ". Set-up for the phone was very easy, ( 6 steps including " insert batteries and charge for 7 hours"). I put the range extender at about the distance where my 5.8 gHz started to fuzz out. This is easily installed as well. All you need is a power outlet, no phone jack. After the charging period, I tried the phone everywhere in the house with no issues. I can even go down to the lake to watch the kids with no issues. Also, from reading the directions, I noted that you can add one more range extender to increase your range even more. I think panasonic really got the idea right when they made this phone and included the range extender. I would have to say that my only disappointment is the handset display size and that it is not in color. If you are looking for a solid phone system with great range and no computer interference issues, you can't go wrong with this phone. Buy it! You won't be sorry.
