Customer Reviews

The MattMan reviews a phone
This phone is totally awesome! Great display, lots of bells and whistles. If you have ever owned a cordless phone before, and the battery dies, so you open the back of the phone only to find a "battery pack". You look every where and no one carries "that" battery pack. Well..., finally Panasonic got smart and did something about that. This phone comes with plain old Nickel-Metal Hydride Rechargeable AAA Batteries! No more battery pack! In a few years when the original batteries no linger hold a charge I'll just replace them with easy to find NiMH AAA batteries.

All telephones should be this straightforward
It's amazing what can happen when I follow directions. Set up of the KX-TG6412M was as easy as taking a few minutes to follow the well written instructions. Once set up, the sound quality was, and is excellent. My wife and I were amazed how light the phone felt in our hands...easy to hold up to the ear. Being members of AARP we both love the large, readable display numbers on the screen. We also love the fact that each phone takes 2 triple A rechargeable batteries - what a great cost savings when replacement time comes around. (They are about 1/3 the cost of normal cordless phone batteries) Finally, when the phones are not in use and not on the cradle, they will hold a charge for 11 DAYS! Talk about energy efficiency. Initial rating? 5 stars...very impressed.

Panasonic USED to be great!
Bad reviews annoy me. Usually it's because the buyer has a hardware problem and tends to berate the whole package. I'm not doing that here. If this phone didn't have so many good points, I would have rated it 2-stars. My vision isn't that good. This LCD is very easy to read. It has an clock/alarm. I missed it in Amazon's write-up, but it may be there. It feels lighter than I'd like, but fit & finish are good. The ringer is plenty loud but the sounds available are very primative. So why 3 stars? I'm returning this package because the sound quality of the earpiece is TERRIBLE. If it was just one of the two hadnsets, I'd just be returning it for a new one. Unfortunately it's both handsets. The sound is very distorted. My son has a deep, resonant voice and it is impossible to understand him without asking him to repeat many, many time. The new Panasonic system is replacing a 5 year old Uniden set that worked fine...until I dropped one of the handsets in the, er, toilet. It'll never be the same. I thought "Great! I'll get a Dect 6.0 setup." I have now spent several days looking for a 2 handset Dect 6.0 w/o an answering machine. Almost all the systems include answering machines-Drat! Also I find that the descriptions almost never mention if there is an alarm or not. I need one.
Bottom Line: For the price, this system can be recommended as the earpiece distortion just may have been my two handsets.


UPDATE!!!

I've purchased a different Panasonic set (still love the screen) model KX-TG7432B. It has an answering machine, I just don't use it. I'm sorry to say the sound quality in the earpiece is just as terrible as the first one, see above. I've kept this one because it has everything else I want in a phone.

Sigh! I'll just have to live with it for now.
