Panasonic KX-TGC224EB DECT Cordless Phone with Answering Machine, 1.6 inch Easy-to-Read Backlit Display, Nuisance Call Blocker, Hands-Free Speakerphone, ECO Mode - Black, Quad Handset Pack

Sept. 2021 (see later review further below! ).Four handsets and an Answering Machine, all for £60 - delivered Free!What's not to like?I previously owned a 3-unit Panasonic set which I purchased about 15-20 years ago, and it never disappointed - until now, when the display window on one of the handsets faded and became impossible to read.Fast-forward to today and here we have an improved set in terms of functionality - a nice design and easy to use.The only (minor) issues I have with this set area) the main Base Unit is very, very light and needs a couple of small patches of Velcro to keep it in place, andb) the Ring Volume could be improved by increasing it further by about 20%.But these details are not going to spoil my purchase, and I am extremely pleased overall.Quite a bargain, considering that similar alternative-brand packages are offered in excess of £100.Dec. 2021This update is, unfortunately, going to highlight only negatives and, based on that, this set of four is not the bargain it was originally perceived/stated to be...Firstly, their shape is awkward, making them clumsy and awkward to handle for some users.Then, the keypads have already started to show signs of wear which, considering something like 90% of our calls (low users at that) are made via mobiles or Internet, suggests a major flaw.After the Contacts were keyed into the system, one of the handsets proved faulty, such that if I wanted to contact say Alison (key ABC), I got Dawn, Elizabeth, and Francis (key DEF), and so on down the alphabet! This only came to light after the Returns Period had elapsed.Critically thought, and most significant, is the poor/low level of volume (on all handsets) when set at maximum. You would, if so inclined, stand more chance of hearing a gnat fart at times.And if the gnat was to fart in the wrong place, there is every chance it could blow the base units a few inches down the shelf/desktop if they are not Velcroed to the surface.So, think carefully. Low price is not necessarily the bargain you might think it is, but it's probably better than queueing outside a phone box on a wet and windy night! (If you can still do that....?!!).

Good set of phones that you can use with a landline. Sadly as landlines are being switched off by telecoms companies, there is less use for them. So mine are no longer in service. Until that change they were useful Having a handset close by meant that I was far less likely to miss a call. The sound quality was very good and clear and there is a variety of ring tones to select from.

Easy to use, Cordless with volume control. Clear display and feels strong. Display large enough for me to see at night without my spectacles.

Very good set of phones very good build quality very clear sound just volume is a little low on hand set but if you put it on loudspeaker it’s perfect looks really smart and very lightweight for the price you can’t go wrong

First of all these phones work. Out of the box they looked ok, set up was easy and unlike some, they included rechargeable batteries. I bought these to replace my BT Digital Voice phones when I switched broadband providers. In comparison with the BT phones these Panasonic units feel cheap, sound tinny and don't charge unless you carefully slot them into the charging cradle. As a short term measure they are acceptable, but I'm now going to take time to find something better quality and sell these on eBay.

Have have exactly the same phone plus one extension for 9-10 years. Great phones, no problems. I also had two corded phones, which plugged into their own box. Recently had fibre installed, not through choice, had no options! Was not told that my corded phones would no longer work, after connection , as they were connected to old copper wiring! After a battle with TalkTalk, I was reimbursed some money, as a token of goodwill. I therefore bought the quad phones. Easy instructions for connecting, very prompt delivery. All up & running! Highly recommend Panasonic.

Lightweight and easy to install and use.

Great value well pleased
