Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Panasonic KX-TGF575S Link2Cell Bluetooth Cordless Phone with Voice Assist to replace a Panasonic set that is four years old and starting to make crackling sounds for the caller and on the receiving end. I read the reviews, the specs and was really hopeful that the phone would be an upgrade from the older phone. The setup was very easy, the features are nice but the sound quality is horrific! With volume on as high as it will go all that can be heard is a whisper. When placed on speaker the sound is as if using a tin can with a string attached. Can just barely make out that anyone is speaking, have to hold the hand set up to the ear to be able to hear the caller. What's the point of a speaker phone if you have to hold it to your ear to hear it? It is slightly louder doing that than when on conventional use of the handset when not on speaker. Setting up features was preset. All you have to do is charge the batteries for 12 hours, input to your phone book if you wish, and set up answering machine if you want a personal call message. We use our phone service provider answering service rather than the phone. Try as we may, we can not get the volume of this phone system up high enough to be heard. Feel like smacking it as you would a newborn baby to get it to speak up! I fear this wasn't a great purchase and will be going back. One good thing; we found out that the old Panasonic phone set can be hooked up at the same time this new Panasonic system is hooked up. All phones work, so if you were wanting a 10-12 phone setup you could do it with Panasonic.
