Panasonic - KX-TGE674B DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering System - Black

On the technical side they work very well we give them six stars still got a lot to figure out about them but they work out really well still very new

Needed portable phones with greater range than the ones we were using

Pretty much what we were looking for in the way of 5 handsets. A great feature that our old set did not have is the ability to block up to 1000 numbers! This is something we all need in this day & age. The sound quality sometimes isn't the best, but you can adjust the volume for call clarity while on a call. I wish the base had more redial ability like the handsets. It only holds 1. The handsets are infinite. With speaker phone & intercom options, this phone is the best replacement for what we were used to. It does have an answering machine that we don't use as we subscribe to voicemail with the phone company.

The volume for received calls is low and cannot be controlled by any volume control (except speaker-phone selection). The volume control only changes the sound level of the ring! The manual is for about 8 different product IDs. But the product ID of the product I received was not on the list. It appears that Panasonic may be creating so many product IDs that they are having problems matching them up with the right products. The system was supposed to have (or at least that was what I assumed from reading all the different descriptions) support for T-coil hearing aid connection. But the instructions have no information about this - only a comment that it is supported on all headsets with a certain label. Of course, that label is missing from all the headsets.

My wife and I were so pleased with an earlier purchase of a phone set that can block 250 unwanted callers (we get a lot of spam and scam calls) that when we eventually blocked the maximum number of callers, we decided to get this set which will allow us to block 1000 unwanted callers. And the phone itself is simple to use, has great clarity, and works perfectly.

The sound quality, functions, ease of use, etc. are all great on this phone system. The three star rating is because the extension handsets often will not connect with the base and are rendered unusable. I had an earlier version of this very system for seven years, and it worked perfectly until the handsets started dying one by one due to age. I called Panasonic, and they told me that it had to do with interference from walls, microwaves, etc., but could not explain to me why an older system worked perfectly in the exact same locations.

Had trouble getting the Base Phone to fit under Kitchen Cabinet.

I've only owned them for a few hours as they have replaced my old Panasonic phones. The fact that these have call blocking makes it worth it alone.
