PANASONIC Corded / Cordless Phone System with Answering Machine and One Touch Call Blocking – 2 Handsets - KX-TGF352N (Champagne Gold)

High quality product. Sound quality is excellent. Speaker phone is easy to use and sound is excellent here too. Volume adjustment is effective when you need to pump up the volume. Easy, large keypad and buttons are clearly labeled. What I like best is the ability to block annoying spammers, scammers and political robo calls. Very easy process for flagging these and they are prevented from calling you back unless they use another number. The remote handsets use standard batteries. One of my problems with an earlier set is that I could not find replacement batteries. These are very simple to replace and I haven't had to replace them with over a year in daily use. You can add as many remotes as you want. Another feature I like is that the remote units do not require plugging into a phone jack. They get their signals via airwaves. Yes, the pedestal for the remotes needs a plug, but that is strictly for recharging the batteries. Remotes are a bit complicated to use ALL of the features so you may have to pull out the manual to figure out how to do more unusual things. But the simpler, more common functions are extremely easy to use.

It was time for new phones when I kept having issues with hearing quality on the old ones. I thought it was the line itself but turns out the pld phones were just not kickin it anymore. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Quick to set up and charge (overnight recommended), the corldess handsets offer plenty of features. The corded base is ideal for when the power goes out (frequent in my area) and it has a battery back up to boot! The call block feature is my absolute favorite thing about these phones! I made the mistake of taking a 'sales call' one day and donated to a charity who, in turn, sold my number to every solicitation group out there. My phone rang non-stop and even after having my number removed from half a dozen call lists, I discovered the same groups would just use a different number. But alas! Call block certainly works...just press the call block button from either the base or either handset, confirm 'yes' you want to block that number and you're done! In the first week, the calls have all but stopped. YES! Call quality is excellent, there is a large capacity for speed dial numbers and many, many other great features. I highly recommend and would purchase again. For the record, this was a straight out purchase - no discounted product, no free stuff, just spent my money and got a great product in return. Can't beat that!

The menu system and manual are pretty clear on set up. I purchased this more as a backup phone and for when I'm traveling to call the house. Reason for one less star are the following reasons. Seventeen min max message storage? Seriously when memory is essentially free these days for gigabytes of memory. To me that is ridiculous. I also don't see why Panasonic would use Two small AAA batteries in the base unit? Not like you carry it around, and the low power batteries typical of AAA nickel metal suck. Why not Size 4 AA? There would be no point in the "energy saver mode", ideally in emergency power outage young kids and or seniors may not remember the phone book stored in the base unit in the absurd Eco mode. I installed Two black eneloop batteries to maximize the tiny backup system. Still horrid compared to 4 AAs. I would actually prefer a non charging system on the base unit. Something like Four AA energizer lithiums would be outstanding on back up, and not need maintenance for years. Haven't used the Mobile units. They are charging. Even though I charged the batteries that came with the portable handsets with a very good Panasonic charger and were showing full. Installed in handset and said needs 7 hours. My thoughts are the phone charge systems are subpar. At least Panasonic used a common size battery, I give them credit for that and not some PITA proprietary system that is hard to replace or find. I think many of us pre cell phone days people have experience with that situation. One other thing I would like to have adjust is the LCD display for sleep time settings. Like all the smart phones we use can be adjusted for brightness and how many min on before dimming. I only listed the bad for most part because the good is too long to write about. I would buy this system again and would rate 4.5 if half stars were available. Hey Panasonic since you bought out Sanyo eneloop batteries include those with your products instead of the cheap chi com brands.

This phone set is amazing! First of all, the package shipped quickly and was in good condition when it arrived. It was actually shipped with a set of shampoo/conditioner that leaked during shipping and some of the product got on the box. It did not damage it in any way, so even the packaging on this item is quality. There was nothing missing out of the box and none of the merchandise was damaged in any way. It was very simple to set up and start charging. The sound quality on this system is perfect! No static or background noise whatsoever. I live on a remote island so having a set like this is a must. As much as I love having cordless phones, we have frequent power outages and have to have a plugged in landline at all times. I've gone through so many sets like this it's not even funny, but this is, by far, the best quality phone that we have owned. It takes a little getting used to when it starts to announce the caller, but I've found that I really appreciate this feature since I hate getting up when I'm in the middle of changing a diaper or something just to find out its a sales or political survey call or something. I have not had any issues working with the settings yet, but I have not even touched the surface of what's its capable of. If I run into any issues, I'll update this review. One feature that I haven't had a chance to set up yet that I'm really excited to use is the baby monitor. We're rearranging our house so I haven't gotten to test it yet, but that is one of the main reasons that this phone was the one that eventually chose. I have no doubt that it will be an amazing function, but again, if I have any issues with it, I'll update my review. So, in summary, I highly recommend this telephone system.

I got this because it was recommended for work from home on several websites. For the $20 more then other single phones, I figured it would be worth it just for the quality reviews compared to other cheaper phones. I needed a land line to keep from having to use my cell or forward my calls to my cell from my work phone. I am running Comcast landline VoIP. The turn off ringer option means I don’t have to deal with the un forwarding my phone everyday. It turns off all three phone ringers. It’s nice to have a the dial keypad over my iPhone screen keypad. My work requires dialing a lot of numbers during the phone calls to navigate phone trees. The keys work great for this. The volume when I hold my ear to the phone or use the recommended headset is a bit loud, but I have my house obnoxiously quiet. However, it isn’t needed for the majority of my phone time because of the speaker function. And to my surprise, the speaker function is also on the two cordless phones. I have not tried any other features yet. But has worked better then I expected. I bought the KX-TCA430 wired headset with one of the cordless. Seems to work okay, but only have made one phone call with headset. Too soon to recommend.

This product provides more than I thought it would. When I programmed in the names of people, the phones can speak the names as I programmed them, like "Grandpa." The intercoms have been a huge help in family function because I can just use the intercom number for the children's room to wake them up rather than them hearing my voice repeatedly. They just hear their phone's ring. If the children are in another room of the house, we can use the intercom to let them know it's meal time without calling out to them. They don't have to disrupt their schoolwork to come downstairs to ask a question or ask for us to come upstairs to help them. I like having a the clip function and the ability to attach a headset to the portable phones. I did purchase a longer cord for the base phone. I purchased two sets and put the second set of portable phones to work with this base. (It can handle up to two more portable phones to this base.) We can use the speaker phone with the base if we need to be hands-free while talking on it. The children already figured out how to set their desired ringtone for their phone by themselves. It allows for groups to be set for each phone number entered. I organized my group 1 as family, group 2 as friends, and group 3 as business numbers I want to have on hand. The phone system replicates the numbers so I don't have to program them in each phone. I'm thoroughly pleased with this purchase. (Note: I did purchase the additional batteries as suggested. There is no need to do that for these phones. They have the right rechargeable batteries for each set; however, we have numerous other uses for the batteries throughout our home.)

Pro - large display for elderly on the base 2 cordless is good Prompt delivery Batteries for one cordless phone Con - takes rechargeable batteries ( I can’t justify buying a charger for recharging for only 3 batteries Second cordless did not come with batteries Talk time for cordless is less than a total of 3 hours, otherwise the phone clarity is good. This is a good vendor and product is good. Please give batteries for both cordless phones. I recommend this product and this vendor.

I am very happy with this phone. As others have said, the set up is not intuitive. Most settings require the user to push the menu button followed by a three digit number. But, the manual is pretty clear and once you understand the procedure, it's pretty simple to follow. I doubt that it is much different than other phones. Keep the manual in easy reach. I was somewhat disappointed with the color. I had expected a more rose hue. I would classify it as more silver than rose, but it's pretty nonetheless. The greatest difficulty that I had was getting the answering machine to work. The unit kept saying I had to use my provider's voicemail, which I did not want to do. Eventually, I learned from my provider that I needed to stop their voicemail service for which the default is "on" and then I was able to get the voicemail on the machine to work. The voicemail is simple to use. The handsets set up without any problems. I would buy this phone again.
