I owned the previous generation of this product. The weak point is the #1 on the handsets. I work in a harsh environment, so we have gone through other systems in about 6 months. This last one went for over 3 years. THis also happened on my home model single line.Panasonic got cheap and now makes you pay extra to order belt clips. Probably the only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5
From my experience so far, I would recommend this phone over AT&T and VTech. My 3 prior AT&T phones didn't last more than 4-10 months.
The best thing about this phone so far is that it doesn't have any background hum in the handset(all 3 AT&T phones did). I've only had this phone for a week, but it is already better than the 3 other AT&T phones I've had over the past 2 years.
The phones appearance is so-so, but it is very functional and that matters more to me than a sleek appearance with lousy sound quality. You can hear the person you are talking with clearly.
The volume in the handset is more than adequate. The background hum eventually got so loud, I could barely hear the person I was talking with.
I hope the phone lives up to my praise over the long term.
Panasonic KX-TG6700, 5.8GHz Cordless PhoneI have had bad luck with Panasonic phones dying after a couple of years, but the features of this phone were what I needed so overcame my reluctance. Now the handset is working again but not the base unit, and only if i leave the back off the base. The phone has worked fine for several years but this morning every light was on and the phone was inoperable. The issue is apparently the ribbon connector to the circuit board in the phone (a number of troubleshooting forums have addressed this problem), which i managed to disconnect to reboot the board. Maybe Panny is taking a cue from the Auto companies who planned to have their products fall apart after a couple of years so you'd have to buy new ones. I don't know but this is the 4th Panasonic phone I've bought that did not live to a normal replacement age.
This is a good phone - not great , but good. The handset volume is a little low and depressing the phone line buttons is also a little difficult to switch from one line to the other. The portable design is good and it has all of the good features you'd expect. Other revewers gave great information and I'd recommend this phone if this is what you are looking for.
this phone is cool but it really lacks range. it is a pain to sync each phone with the household phone book. i would have thought i could go further before losing calls.nope. Each phone has a individual phone book which could be cool in certain situations but is a real pain because every phone in my house has different numbers. if i grab the wrong phone it may not have the number i need in it. the answering unit is only ok it does not have very user friendly controls for saving or reviewing messages after a period of time.
