Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We are very happy with the Panasonic KX-TGF353N DECT 3-Handset home phone system. Much better audio quality than our previous cordless phones. Complete phone book integration between the corded base and the cordless handsets is great, plus if you need it, each cordless handset can have their own separate speed dials for different members of the family. Programming is no worse than anything else you program these days - just read the instructions and follow the menus. Sometimes the cordless menus are slightly different from the corded base and one menu set might be easier to navigate than the other. If you just want to use the phones without programming anything, they will work fine. The quality of the answering machine is good and we have received no complaints so far from our regular callers. This phone system has some useful programmable options and a reasonable manual to guide you through the process. The color of the phones is a welcome departure from black which most other models seem to be. The cordless handsets seem durable but I would not want to see how well they survive a drop on concrete. The screens are easy to read - date and time are set by the phone company and are accurate. Speaker-phone option is duplex and works very nice. Belt clips on the cordless handsets are optional in case you don't need them but I think they give just a bit more to hold onto while you talk. As always, there will be issues that reviewers mention and I thought it was odd that Panasonic provided the rechargeable batteries for the cordless handsets but did not provide the same rechargeable batteries for the power outage backup system on the corded phone. Nonetheless, that being a minor inconvenience to have to provide for yourself, this is a great phone system and I highly recommend it to you.
