Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this set for my Mom who has poor eyesight, and it's been working out very well. The screen is clear and easy to read -- the white background on the screen really helps with clarity. It's also nice to have a lit keypad to aid with dialing in less than ideal light situations. Performance has been excellent. It replaces another Panasonic DECT-type phone system that was (and continues) to work great after several years of heavy use. Sound quality is excellent as is range. I especially like that Panasonic continues to use easy-to-find rechargeable batteries for the handsets rather than a custom battery like most other manufacturers. The batteries are standard AAA size and can be replaced with any rechargeable in that size, such as the Amazon Basic brand or the Eneloops. There are many options in the setup menu for basic operation, such as 10 different ring tones, screen contrast, ring volume, etc. The menu system to get into the options and change things is straightforward and can be used by just reading the screen prompts rather than have to break out the manual. It was also easy to set up a phone directory list. The charging base for both handsets feels cheaper than my older Panasonic. It's workable, but feels a lot more flimsy. Other than that, the build quality is excellent. Very pleased, and hopefully I'll get as many years out of this model as I have with older models.
