    Thiscanswering machine is easy to set up and use. I set it up for an elderly man to use. With just a push of the buttons he can retreive messages. Something he was not able to do with voice mail.

    The digital answering machine worked as expected. Easy to set up. Easy to use. Sound quality could be a little better, but for the very low price the sound was adequate. Playing messages back at lower volume helps the sound quality. Messages left from land lines appeared to sound better than messages from cell phones.

    Did not need bells and whistles...just a basic answering machine. This item is perfect. Simple to use, good storage and volume. Solved a $5000 business phone issue for $20. Perfect.

    We got rid of the physical phones and connected our Echo to the land line. It would just keep ringing so I purchased an inexpensive answering machine. This one fit the bill perfectly.

    The machine was easy to set without having to read ht instructions. I could not figure out how to stop the beeping once a message is received, with the exception of pressing play.

    Everything is not to bad but when a call comes in and you pick it up while it is still ringing it will not disconnect. It will sound like your getting a fax. That is the best I can describe it. If you hang it up real quick sometimes that will work but not often. That's why only 3 stars. That is very annoying I disconnected it all to gather.

    I bought this to replace my parents previous AT&T answering machine which finally broke after many years of quality service. This one is smaller than the previous one they had, taking up less counter space and they were able to learn how to use it quickly. In fact I bought one for myself whenever my answering machine breaks. Great product.

    Good quality and easy instructions. Keep these machines available as not everyone wants to replace a phone with a new phone set.
