What's great about it: Reliable, easy to use.
What's not so great: Hard to hold between chin and shoulder.
We've had this phone for 2-3 years. It's great. We have 4 phones on this system; they all work great. My husband often forgets that he's not on the cell and walks out the door talking on one of the phones. He doesn't lose the signal until he's about halfway down the block! He also misplaces the phone very often. The locater is wonderful. One time we couldn't find one; hit the locater button and found it in the freezer! We also like the fact that we can both listen and talk on separe receivers when we receive or place a call. Our old system only allowed one phone at a time to work. The intercom function is also nice. I haven't notice any tinny sound. Our sound quality has been really good and I often use the speakerphone so that I can talk and work at the same time. I use mine while on the computer; no interference. No interference in the kitchen around the microwave, either.
We're planning on buying another system like this to place in my Mom's house.

I've had this phone for 2 years and now all of the phones have trouble charging. Two of them won't charge AT ALL on ANY BASE and the other two STRUGGLE to charge even if sitting there all day. This has been going on for the past 4 months by the way, I just came here to check for new phones and saw this was still here.. Surprisingly. Do not by this phone. It's not going to last for more than a year and a half. I'm sure most of the people who review this just got their phones and came online immediately afterwards to review it... But I've been with this phone for years... So, take caution.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Functions well and coexists happily with my wireless broadband
What's not so great: Died after two years
With these systems, you can have up to six handsets all sharing one base unit (answerer). I had six. Then there was a power failure, and my base unit went whacko in its answering section; just a rapid flashing led indicating "trouble." ABSOLUTELY NO DOCUMENTATION for the "rapid flashing error" although you can find unhappy victims of it on Google. The handset serving part of the base unit still worked, but it never answered or took a message again. So I bought this unit (with 3 handsets) to restore my system
and continue using my perfectly good handsets.
Now I have a total of 9 handsets (6 old, 3 new); but the excess three aren't supported, as the base can only talk to six satellite handsets.
So I give the product an A for functions and a C for durability.

What's not so great: the phones are very light and less solid feeling that phones I've had in the past
Panasonic makes good phones and this one is no exception. The big buttons are easy to press and the primary reason for choosing this phone was the placement of the Mute button. I use mute a log during conference calls and with some phones in the past I would have to go through the menu in order to mute and unmute the phone.

What's great about it: Initial charging is fast and easy to set up.
What's not so great: The only thing that is not good is when you use the speakerphone and the sound is not as loud as it should be.
Good quality for the price paid. Had it for 1 month so far and had no problems. I've had other Panasonic models and the speakerphone function is very loud, on this model it is not as loud(especially for the elderly or hard of hearing), but I still can hear it. Overall I would recommend buying this phone.

What's not so great: no speed dial in this era of having to dial 10 numbers every time
I like the phone a lot. It was a good price. I't's easy to use. It has a lot of good features like big buttons, a speakerphone, and intercom. It is a also a green product with NiMH batteries not NiCd.
I really don't know about the duribility yet, because I just got it. But Panasonic products are usually pretty good.

What's great about it: Full features, reliable.
What's not so great: Relatively small LCD display.
I was a little unsure about buying this product because I really only needed 2 phones, not 3. I really needed a good caller id feature. Since I have had good luck with Panasonic phones before, and after a bad experience with a Radio Shack and 2 ATT products, I decided to spend a little more on this item and see how it fared. The phone works very well. Range is decent, and there are a lot of *nice* features. The intercom is a convenient. Except for the display being a little smaller than desired, the product is very easy to use.

This is a very good phone system for the price. I have not used all the functions, but the basics are fine. As stated earlier, the only fault I have found is volume (not as loud as I would like and is awkward to adjust using the handset).

What's not so great: Messed up after 5 mos
I wouldn't advise anyone to purchase this system. It worked great for about 4 mos. The last month have been nothing but problems. First the ring is only 1/2 a ring then stops yet it is still ringing on the caller's end. My answering machine no longer picks up any calls. The caller ID is no longer working. Poor quality for what was paid. Expected more out of Panasonic but will no longer purchase anything from them again.

What's great about it: Everything!
What's not so great: Wall mount looks funny, main base not really meant to be put on the wall.
I shopped around to find a replacement cordless phone and answering machine for my home. I found this panasonic, and it had everything I was looking for. The features are easy to use and set up, and what's great, is the clarity of sound. The feature that was great was the "shared phoneboook", which allows you to put your phonebook numbers and names in one handset, and it copies the information to the other ones, soooo cool. It comes with two extra handsets, that don't need a phone jack, and it is expandable to up to 6, pretty good. The main unit with the answering machine can be wall mounted, but it looks very strange, it comes out too far. I took it down and just placed the unit on the counter.I would recommend this phone to anyone looking to update their current home phone, and loves the extras!

What's great about it: Big Buttons, No Antenna
What's not so great: Pathetic range, Lowest volume is TOO loud, No message counter on answer machine, Menu layout unintuitive
We used to own a Sony 900Mhz DSS phone. It was awesome. We could take it anywhere in the house and anywhere outside. The "jog dial" made the menu a breeze to use. The phone would blink anytime there was a new call that we did not answer. I should mention that this was a stand alone phone. We used a separate answering machine. The buttons finally became hard to use (the "Talk" button became unresponsive).
So, we bought the Panasonic 6.0 DECT phone set. I was initially disappointed that the "remote" handsets came without a phone cord attachment. They depended solely on the base unit for communication. I assumed (incorrectly) that each handset would have its own phone line. The remote handsets use a base only as a means for charging; nothing else.
Our biggest disappointment so far is the range. It will NOT work in our bedroom. We live in a single story house. The old Sony never hiccuped anywhere on our property; including outside on an acre lot. Everything that I had read said that the 6.0 DECT had a huge range. I disagree.
The signal indicator has strength indicators next to it (increase the contrast and you can see them in the background). They are never illuminated! So, it is impossible to tell when you are losing signal strength. The only indication is a dropped call or the phone will not work.
I am 46 years old and my hearing is okay. The lowest volume on this phone is way too loud. I have to hold it away from my ear to hear. And the clarity is marginal at best. Once again, the old Sony was as clear as a bell and did not hurt my ears.
The menu layout is, in my opinion, counterintuative. You select Menu. You see arrows that point up and down. But, the menu is only selectable in a downward direction. So, why the up arrow?
The answering machine lacks a visible message counter. It merely blinks when there is a new message. Once you listen to the new message(s) the indicator stops flashing. The only way to determine the number of messages is to weed through the menu on a handset.
At the time that we bought this phone it had good reviews. We are extremely disappointed and we are looking for an old 900Mhz DSS phone which are rare (haven't found any yet).
The only good things about this phone are the big buttons. There is no external antenna to break off. The speakerphone works well on the handsets. I want to say it full duplex (talk and listen at same time).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this set on-line about 6-8 months ago and I can no longer deal with the noise and interference that I hear whenever I am talking to anyone. The set-up was easy, and the usability is okay. However the lack of quiet on the line makes this a 1 star. Do not buy.

What's not so great: see review
Bought this phone on 4/11/09. After 3 months handset #2 lost contact with the base unit. Put it on the bast unit to charge and it still could not connect to the base unit, said it was too far away. After 8 hours it finally found the base unit again only to lose it after 5 minutes. Returned it today and the customer service person that waited on us had the same problem with handset #2. Otherwise the other 2 handsets worked great. Purchased another brand this time.
