Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This system has all the features promised. It has an easy to read display, no confusing icons. I'm not completely tech savy, but this system is easy to use, if you read the instructions. Better than good battery life with several days before recharging. I would buy system this again.
Panasonic gets accolades for this phone system. (top reasons to buy this system)
0. I use this thing anywhere over my 2 acres lot, with no issues! 1. Big display - can see it at night, elderly can read it NO problem 2. Voice quality is clear as a button, in fact I use the lowest volume setting, as it appears to amplify callers voices 3. Dial Keys are illuminated and oversized for big or sloppy fingers 4. Awesome battery life, and no batt. memory charging issues, bases are AC wall-wart chrger style and uses intelligent charging - only charges when necessary, so the product is kinda green 5. Tons of memory - and a simple to use user interface/menuing system 6.Base station has an answering machine! 7. Works as an intercom 8. Speaker phone on the base station and each phone 9. Each phone is super lightweight and comes with a belt clip... VERY HANDY when outside 10. Each phone allows for similar or individual settings... I love having all the phones auto answer when I pick them up out of a cradle
I bought this to replace an older model that is no longer available - Panasonic KX-TG9341S. This KX-TG6545SK system is similar in size, style and function. However, the speakers are a bit "tinny" sounding and the ring tones aren't as good. There are fewer choices, I don't care for most of them, and they are not very loud. This is disappointing. Otherwise, the system seems as good, and I was happy with the earlier model (which is why I bought this one).
When election season rolls around and we get tons of telemarketing calls, I love the fact that I can block the calls from unwanted/unknown callers! The ring tone does ring once before the call block goes into effect, so I've learned not to reach for the phone until it rings a second time! :-)
I replaced an old cordless Panasonic which worked great for many years with this new one and it's given me nothing but sound quality problems since day one. Sound constantly cuts in and out even if right next to the base. I get complaints that that the sound on the other end is way to loud by some and others it's normal, while I can have on and off problems hearing on my end. At times I hear an echo on the other end. This applies to all five of the phones not just one.
Never had these problems with my other Panasonic. Listening to messages is another problem. I can press the red flashing button and it won't play back at times. I am really unhappy with these phones and consider them a complete waste of money. I had expect at least the same quality if not better then my old Panasonic.
Erasing messages on the headsets isn't simple either. Too many codes for the settings to remember.

We just purchased this system to replace an older Panasonic single portable phone/answering machine system. The answering machine on the older system had become impossible to understand, but otherwise it was still working after 10 years of use. The new system seemed easy to set up. The phone is slightly complicated (the price of new technology seems to be loss of simplicity). One of the features we were most interested in was the intercom function, and my complaint is with this. We have a large home, and it appears that the only way to page all of the headsets is from the base unit. So if you are away from the base and need to contact someone, but don't know where they are, you have to page each headset in turn to locate them. It seems like it should have been simple to enable simultaneous paging of all headsets from one of the headsets (i.e. not limit this functionality to the base). If you are interested in a system with intercom, I would definitely consider whether this is something you can accept.
