Panasonic - KX-TGE645M DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering System - Metallic Black

I purchased this phone and found one review on the best buy site. I asked the Manager if this was new equipment or why was there only one review. He said it may be new equipment that Panasonic would be trying out and that he did not know for sure. I check prices for price match and could not find any. The phone was purchased at full price. I go home and try to register my equipment for warranty with Panasonic and it would not register. I called their customer support and they stated that Panasonic no longer makes this item. I was so disappointed that I paid full price for equipment that is no longer made and does not have the newest technology. I went to local Best Buy and asked why they did not alert the customer by reduced price for old equipment and there statement was that is just the way it is. Buyer beware if you don't won't old equipment. Not pleased due to this reason as I wanted the newest technology and also not pleased with the pricing in this situation. Also I can't register this item with Panasonic warranty which I wanted to do in case there were any recalls with the product.

Changing home phone carriers, forced the upgrade of home phones. From 1951 to 2019 is a huge change. Basic setup was easy for a non technical person. Love the answering machine feature where all handsets play message while base recorders, making it easier to monitor without chasing the message at the one phone on the other side of the home. Being free from the phone cord is liberating and helpful to handicapped people within household. Caller ID came free with new carrier and some numbers require a 1 in front of the area code. Digital readouts of numbers calling have been wonderful. Having a long house, 2 stories, this product is so very necessary for handicap residents. Hope holsters are made for home handsets so handicap people cane have hands free for wheelchair, walkers, canes.

These phones are not user friendly when it comes to setting them up. Directions are complicated and written in poor English. I have had them for a couple of weeks and still don't have everything figured out. They are very lightweight and so tend to slip off the table easily. The batteries that come with them are garbage. I charged them and 15 minutes later they were beeping that they needed charging. I had to buy batteries from another company in order to use the phones. There are a lot of good features on this phone if only I could figure out how to use them. Wish I had purchased another brand.

I really love these phones! I have used Panasonic phones for years and these do not disappoint. The sound is great. I have had no trouble with them so far. Also, the black color makes the system look sleek and attractive without grabbing too much attention. They blend in very nicely with any décor. The system I had before only came with four phones and I had to buy an extra one. This one comes with five which is perfect for me. The price was very reasonable, and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

We bought another Panasonic because we had been very happy with our previous one. The new one is easy to set up and program. Unfortunately, the static is so horrible, it's very difficult to understand the person on the other end of the line. Best Buy won't take it back because I didn't try to return it within the first 2 weeks (we were out of town). I'm hoping Panasonic will let us exchange. It's a lot of money to have spent for a phone you can't use.

Very nice phone system, easy to set up, very clear manual. Would have given it 5 stars except when pressing keys to dial a number the feedback tone is not loud enough so you have to look at the screen to be sure you pressed the key. I know there is a button on the side to increase the talking volume but that doesn't increase the key tone. Otherwise nothing to complain about. I have other Panasonic products and they all work well.

Overall we love the new phone system. The key features include: a phone book that syncs across all phones; message indicator on every phone; and long battery life. The one and only complaint is that we lose about 5 minutes per week for the time setting. 2019 appliances should be able to synchronize and maintain correct time. My last Panasonic phone system was over 50 years old and always maintain the correct time.

Love the features of this phone, but went through two sets that malfunctioned. I’d recommend getting the extended warranty so that you can return to the store, otherwise you have to locate your receipt and return it to the manufacturer and then what do you use as a phone in the meantime. I have to say this last phone is working flawlessly. Love it!
