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

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

It is easy to use and all its functions are very important and easy to understand.

This the 3rd Panosonic residential multiple phone I have boughr over many years. Fits our needs directly. Only complaint is with instructions to register each hand unit as an intercom number for calling within the house. It not rhere under registering the unit number for call internally. Previous models had easy program instructions!

Basically, so far, so good. I haven’t had time to set up many of the options that are available, but its doing what I want a phone to do. Eliminating Scam calls is very easy. If I had a knock against the system, it would be volume is a problem. At times (frequently) it is hard to hear callers, even with the volume controls at their highest point.

This is a very good phone system. We do have iphones but I prefer a hard line phone system in our house. It has great tone, it's easy to program and use. This is the updated version of the same phone system we bought fifteen years ago and we're very happy with it.

Overall, this is a very good to excellent phone/answering system, and I LOVE the call-blocking features -- including automatic blocking of robocallers. However, there are a few features that make it somewhat annoying. First, it will occasionally block calls from friends and family (even after they have been entered in the phone's "phonebook"). This requires a manual unblock, and an apology to my friend/family member/doctor. Second, if you link it to your cellphone, which is a generally-beneficial feature, the phone doesn't allow for permanent muting of text message notifications. By this, I mean that although you may have disabled this feature, every time you re-pair the two phones via bluetooth, or leave the house with the cellphone and then re-enter within bluetooth range, the feature automatically comes back on, forcing a manual defeat of this feature. Getting verbal notifications of text messages in the middle of the night that echo throughout the house via 4 handsets and the base unit can be very jarring. Other than the annoyances noted above, this is a good phone system, with some excellent features (particularly the call-blocking ones), and very good clear voice quality.
