PanasonicCordless Phone with Call Block and Answering Machine, Expandable System with 1 Handset - KX-TGD830M (Metallic Black)

Does what it's supposed to -- plug in the power and phone line, and it works. Lots of features, including a built-in answering machine, number blocking, baby monitor, intercom, etc. I got the model that comes with the extra extension, and it was already registered/paired with the base unit out of the box. Setup was minimal, just setting the time/date for the most part, and charging up the handheld units (they were low charge out of the box, and took a few hours to recharge fully). The default ring is loud but not unpleasant (i.e. not shrill). Touch buttons are nicely sized and soft/grippy. I don't have any cons to list, except maybe the menu navigation wasn't really intuitive to me at first, but you figure it out.

My purchase is replacing a much loved, older model of the same three handset phone and I was amazed at how much the product has been improved. While the phone sets looked similar, the technology was worlds above the older unit. This phone was easy to set up and it offers so many more features. The clarity of both phone calls and recorded messages is excellent, as is the value for the set of three phones. It is surprising how many messages and numbers this device stores. The storage capacity far exceeds our old phone. The manual is very comprehensive, so it’s a good idea to save it to a file for future reference. I am very pleased with my purchase and I look forward to years of great service from this phone.

Received the phones yesterday and it only took me 5 minutes to get them set up. HOWEVER, programming them is something else again. My old cordless phones were more than 20 years old. Unfortunately, here in Florida, we are cursed with frequent lightening and I finally took a hit that took out my phones and also my CPR call blocker. Anyway, as to the programming, be sure to pack lots of patience to get the job done. I do wish you could adjust the volume a lot higher than available especially if you have the phone on speaker. THe sound quality is very good. There are a ton of features with this phone, most of which I will not use. But I do LOVE the amount of CALL BLOCKING that is available. If you are a person that loves bells and whistles then this phone is going to be for you. If you want something very simple then look further or just don't use the features that you don't want. THe phones are a good value and I purchased during PRIME days so did save some on that end. Over all am pleased now that I have FINALLY gotten all the numbers programmed into the phone and figured out some of the features I will use.

I’ve been using the Panasonic Cordless Phone with Answering Machine daily, and I absolutely love it! The sound quality is clear, the range is great around the house, and the battery life lasts a long time between charges.The built-in answering machine is a lifesaver since I don’t have access to voicemail. It’s easy to set up and lets me play back messages with the touch of a button. I really appreciate having a simple, reliable way to stay connected without needing to rely on cell service or extra apps.The buttons are large and easy to press, and the screen is bright and readable. Overall, this phone is perfect for anyone who wants a dependable home phone system. Highly recommended!

These are perfect. Easy to program and easy to teach my 5 and 8 year olds how to use. A great value with good voice and sound quality. We especially like the speakerphone option for the headset!

The quiet is amazing. I feel like I am on vacation at home. On the last day of not having this system we received about 30 robocalls. I told my husband I couldn't take it anymore. We purchased a different companies one but had an issue with it so returned that one and purchased this one. We are so happy! This seems to intercept every single robocall so the phone no longer even rings. Anyone wanting to get thru has to follow the answering machines directions. Of course you can add a persons phone into the system and they will go straight thru. Love, love, love this system! I now have peace and quiet.

We used a similar Panasonic phone set for more than 10 years, and the phones were easy to use, uncomplicated and worked well. However, it was time to replace them. We purchased this phone set expecting the same good quality and ease of use like the earlier purchase. The new phones came with an instruction book that when opened made us laugh. Talk about a mountain of new features. We were overwhelmed and confused often. We didn't realize the complexity of today's communication environment. To use each feature one must enter a code for it to work. We like the Block Call feature, but we really don't expect to need or want the majority of the other features. We found that each phone in the new set has a problem with the speaker volume. When you answer a call the speaker's voice is barely audible even with the volume set to maximum. When we receive a call now we always have to use the speaker phone setting to hear the person. Even then, we experience some audio distortion that makes it difficult to clearly hear the speaker. The keys are large and light in the dark which is most helpful. If a lot of features are important to you, and your hearing is really good then this is the phone for you.

As bought it for my grandmother who is 94 the quality was good the sound and voice quality are amazing even she can add in the numbers easy to understand a good buy.
