Buyer Critiques

Very first, a single of the evaluations above states they have utilized these phones for years, but this series was very first shipped in May perhaps 2011, so this assessment need to be for a prior generation. And it is imperative, because this series has a lot of pluses that the prior generations did not have.
Second, we have implemented Panasonic phones (with very handful of exceptions) considering that their old wired phones! This product is replacing an earlier generation wireless series with 4 phones. We had two batteries in the old units starting to fail, so rather than obtain replacement batteries for five year old phones, I purchased this and am not disappointed at all. Some of the crucial causes this might possibly be the perfect Panasonic telephone technique yet are:
The screen is so much superior to read. I wear reading glasses and the old screens were difficult to read with no them, but the high contrast, white backlit screens on these phones are so considerably a lot easier to read!
The menu systems appear a lot superior. Much of what you want to do is handled by the soft-touch buttons with screen readouts so rather than looking the modest text below some of the buttons, the choices are much less complicated to see on the screen.
The reception is so a lot improved and covers a longer distance than just before. Our old phones (5.8mHz program) would get harder to hear on both ends if we walked to the other finish of the home and walking a couple of methods outside was confident to trigger a drop, but this new DECT six operates anywhere in the property and far outside with no noticeable diminution in sound good quality. (Pana makes a range extender optional piece you can add to the system, but I cant see any use we would require for it!)
1 of the best new capabilities is the capacity to use one particular of the handsets for temporary battery backup in the course of a power outage! Most wireless systems go down entirely if there is no power, so if there is an emergency or even a brief duration power failure, you cannot call out or obtain calls. With this telephone, if the power fails but your handset is charged, just putting it in the base station powers it and enables you to contact out or obtain calls. This function alone is why I waited a handful of months for this version to ship. We have had a number of brief power outages, but this function eliminates most of that as an concern.
We use the phone company's voicemail system so we do not need the recording function, but this telephone contains the capability to speed-dial the external voicemail and, much more importantly, if there is a message on that method, the Panasonic handsets still show a flashing light to alert you to a message and when you choose up any handset, the screen also shows you there is a voicemail.
There are a lot of other characteristics that we do not use, like the Voice Caller ID that announces who is calling (we don't require the added noise!) but they worked fine (till I turned this off). So I have to say that this is a fantastic telephone system overall. Light weight, very easy to use, very easy to read - just great!

For me, purchasing a new phone system is about as enjoyable as purchasing a GPS for my car. It's a thoughts-boggling knowledge with so a large number of makers and models that it just provides me a headache. Thankfully I only have to go through this ordeal each 5-6 years or so.
I did not have any dilemma with my earlier telephone system, a Uniden TRU8885-2 5.8 GHz Digital Cordless Telephone with Dual Handsets and Answering Program base station with further Uniden TCX800 Accessory Handset for TRU8800 Expandable Phones (Silver/Black). The Uniden was not missing any characteristics. In reality, I am not seeking forward to acquiring rid of it at all. I like it. The sound excellent is the preferred I've ever heard in a phone. It has excellent range, it operates as an intercom and as a area monitor. It has awesome ring tones and a amazing assortment of them and the list of features and why I like it so substantially goes on and on.
The only "predicament" is that the rechargeable batteries need to be replaced in all 5 of my handsets and that represents an expense of nearly $100 which just so takes place to just about be the cost of an completely new telephone technique. There's something incorrect with that scenario but sadly that's out of my control. So I was faced with the dilemma of putting new, pricey batteries in my 6 year old phone technique or purchasing a new phone system for about the same price. That's a dilemma perfect?
The Panasonic KX-TG6645B is really a capable phone technique and it does have some especially strong qualities.
What I truly like about the Panasonic phone program.
1. The ring loudness can be set to be pretty loud and every single handset can have a unique ring volume and ring tone.
two. The capacity to have a shared phonebook on the market to all phones is awesome. And the potential to place telephone numbers in the phonebook into various groups is also superb since every group can be assigned a distinct ring tone must you desire to do that.
3. I actually like the thought of getting Ni-MH AAA batteries in the handsets instead of proprietary battery packs. AAA Ni-MH batteries are Considerably less costly to replace when they will need to be replaced and do away with getting ripped off then the time comes to replace batteries.
4. The ECO mode, which assists lengthen the time a handset can operate before the battery requirements to be recharged is awesome. ECO mode reduces the power level a handset utilizes based on how far away it is from the base station.
5. The handsets have a incredibly significant, pretty legible display. Numbers and names are fairly painless to read and the back-lighting of the display on the handset is vibrant which is great in the dark.
6. The range of this phone is great. With my Uniden, I could barely make it to my mailbox prior to losing a call. With the Panasonic I was able to walk six or seven instances that distance down my street before losing the contact. Impressive.
7. The ability to have a cordless telephone that can still operate, at least for a brief time, during a power outage is a especially great function.
8. The capacity to set an Alarm on the handset is a cool function that can come in handy. It could be viewed as a backup alarm clock or just a handy way to set an alarm, either as soon as, or a recurring everyday alarm.
9. It is outstanding that you can modify the handset name though you are restricted to ten characters.
Characteristics that I have mixed feelings about
1. The telephone makes use of caller ID info to speak who is calling immediately after the 2nd ring. That is an OK feature that I am nonetheless not positive if I like a lot or not at all. Unfortunately a lot of calls coming through are "private" or simply include forged or bogus Caller ID info..
Characteristics that I dislike about the telephone program
1. The default sound of the earpiece is rather tinny and sharp. It is not a pleasant sound to my ear and is fatiguing to listen to. It is to me merely unpleasant. My Uniden telephone had a vastly superior sound top quality in the earpiece. There is an Equalizer control that you can invoke that emphasizes either High Tones or Low Tones and switching to Low tones is far better, but still not as decent sounding as the Uniden in my opinion
2. The sound good quality of the answering machine is not practically as crisp and legible as what I was accustomed to with the Uniden phone.
three. Remote message retrieval has some dangerous menu options with no fail-safe mode. For instance, to delete a message whilst it is becoming played or promptly immediately after it has played, you enter 4 to delete that distinct message. However if you accidentally enter five, you just deleted ALL MESSAGES regardless of whether or not you listened to them. Can you imagine the consequences if you accidentally do this when traveling and accidentally wipe out 23 un-listened to messages? That is a ridiculous solution to have at the leading-level of operation when accessing your mesages. And there will need to at least be a prompt to ask if you are sure you want to delete all messages. Similarly, it is just as well simple and easy to accidentally chose to delete all messages on the base station.
4. The ring tone/melody choice is completely deficient. The couple of melodies that are in the phone are poor. There really should be far better and a lot more melodies from which to select. My Uniden telephone had quite a couple of melodies that were excellent.
five. I dislike that fact that the answering machine does not have an audible alert to indicate that there are new/un-played messages on the machine. The machine only displays a compact flashing arrow on the play button which suggests you have to look at the telephone in order to recognize that you have messages. My Uniden phone had a flashing indication as nicely as an audible beep. Considerably much better to have the selection to have one particular, the other or both.
6. There is no potential to fast-forward via a lengthy message to get to a particular element of the message, like to hear the caller leave a return phone number which is normally about the last issue a individual would say when leaving a message. You can not go backwards through a message either.
7. The menu technique seems as well deep. It really is not that quick to easily uncover what you want to get. For instance, the Intercom feature will need to be a single button push but as an alternative you have to have to push Menu, then 3 a great deal more clicks to select Intercom, then a copule more clicks to choose which handset you want to connect to. The Uniden phone had a devoted Intercom button, then a straightforward scroll and click to pick out the handset you want to connect to.
8. The handsets themselves are rather light in weight and really feel kind of flimsy in my hand. They are not sculpted to any degree and do not feel comfortable in my hand. The Uniden handset had a substantially way more substantive really feel and was sculpted in a pleasing way that made griping it additional secure.
I understand that not everyone will have the similar requirements or expectations in a telephone. My views are based on what I've turn into accustomed to in applying my Uniden phone technique. I just really feel that the negatives for this phone outweight its positives... and it does have a lot of positives.
As I said just before the Uniden is 1 of the perfect phones I've had the pleasure of making use of. I'm honestly re-evaluating whether I'll preserve the Panasonic or just return it and get the new batteries for my Uniden. If you've under no circumstances had a Uniden or a telephone with this considerably power and capabilities, you'll possibly really like it totally. My complaints about the telephone are basically due to the fact I became attached to my Uniden and this telephone lacks some functions and high quality that I came to appreciate in the Uniden.
UPDATE: 10/27/2011 - Just after working with these phones for a few days I've decided to return them. The sound top quality just is not as great as my Uniden telephone. I dislike the lightness and shape of the handset. I also do not care for the menu method nor the difficulty in programming certain functions which are not quick to discover at all unless you appear in the owners manual.
The telephone just does not stack up as nicely to what I was accustomed to with the Uniden telephone and in spite of the issues the telephone does correct, it does as well several issues poorly or not as nicely as the Uniden. Back it goes.
