By OutNumbered
Awesome phone! Let me first say that within this past year my husband and I bought every expandable and non expandable phone available. Yes we tried them all from Uniden to Motorolla to Vtech and this one blows them all out of the water!Pro's1. Very user friendly. I am not the type of person to read instructions and with this phone I didn't need to.2. 5.8 GHz is awesome! I live in a large apartment and I can walk all the way down to my laundry room (about 100 yards away) and still have a crystal clear connection!3. Phonebook holds up to 50 numbers plus the phonebook is transferable meaning you only have to program one phone and then you can send it to the other 2 handsets.4. Great speaker phone. Loud and very clear.5. Light-up indicator to let you know if you have a call coming in, a good feature if you have sleeping babes or loved ones who wake up when the phone rings and you constantly turn your ringer off. Also lets you know if you have a voicemail waiting.6. Backlight is bright orange and makes the screen easy to read.7. Great ringtones. You can download ringtones to this phone if you wish, but I choose not to.8. You can assign different ringtones to different people in your phonebook and also different colors for the light-up indicator to different people. This way you know who is calling without having to run to the phone, whether the ringer is on or off.9. Great battery life. I left my phone off the charger for 2 days once and still had battery life. I use a phone constantly throughout the day and this phone holds up better than any phone I have ever owned.10. Very attractive and the perfect size. All of the other phones I owned were either to big and bulky or so small and flimsy.11. Did I mention that this phone has crystal clear reception and is so easy to use!!Con's1. I was told that if you download a song to this phone, you can only download one song to one phone, so you would have to download up to 3 times to get one song on all your phones. Not a big deal to me cause I don't really care to download songs to my phone.2. 3 handsets was a bit much even for my large 1200 sqft apartment. The store didn't have a 2 handset version though I do think Panasonic makes one. Not really a con nor Panasonics fault for that either.3. As with most expandables you can only press the phone locator from the main base. This doesn't seem very logical to me since most people buy an expandable to put all over their house. With a 1 year old around, our phones get hidden all over the house, so to find them we have to run to the bedroom, press the locator, then run around the house to find the where the missing phones are. It's not really that big of a deal I guess, but it is kind of a pain!That's about it for the con's. Not too many at all huh! This really is a great phone. It may not have the best ringtones or the coolest downloadable features like some phones do, but it has what is really important and then some.

By E. Burian-Mohr
I can't add to the glowing prose already bequeathed upon this phone by other reviewers. What I can say is that I can finally hear my callers. After a miserable run with various cordless phones (V-Tech, AT&T), I was frustrated because every caller sounded as if he was in a water-filled barrel going over Niagara Falls. But here, the sound is clear as a bell. And that's what it's all about.

By CharlieD
Unlike other manufacturer's phones with this feature set, Panasonic is able to deliver on these three important qualities:1) Clear incoming sound2) Clear outgoing sound3) Reliable cordless operationReminder: A telephone is a communication device. While I love extra bells and whistles as much as the next tech addict (downloadable ringtones, animated display, sleek, exciting, form factor), a phone has a these primary jobs to do -- allowing me to hear, letting others hear me, and doing both of these while performing reliably.I have tried to get by for less money with three other 5.8 GHz, multi-handset phone systems from three other manufacturers, and one or more of the above qualities always seems to be lacking. Panasonic may not produce the sexiest phones on the market, but it puts solid engineering into the most essential functions. Uniden, VTech, Motorola, etc. could all benefit from paying a little more attention to the primary utility of a phone.My quibbles with this phone:1) When a headset is connected, the microphone volume suffers a little. This is a high-quality headset that has no problems on other phones, but the volume on this phone is reduced.2) Okay, I really WOULD like more ringtones. There seems to be some confusion on this point, but this phone does NOT allow one to download additional ringtones. That is possible with a similar Panasonic model (KX-TG5433M).3) The display is readable, but a higher contrast LCD would ease use for people of a certain age.Complaints aside, this system trounces the competition in performance, and is highly recommended.
