| nimmer's Full Review: Panasonic KX-FPG381 Plain Paper Thermal transfer F... |
We purchased this model Panasonic KX-FPG381 12/03, purchase price $199.99, plus approximately $100 for an additional handset. Less than two years later 11/05 this Phone/Fax went beserk. We could not dial out, most of the time no dial tone, or we received inappropriate responses from the Phone company. Incoming calls were answered with an ungodly sound...no it wasn't a Fax signal. Calls to Panasonic service were of no help. Nearest service companies were a few hundred miles away. Calls to same informed us repairs would be so costly, at least $179 plus shipping, that we might as well buy a new one. I am so furious that a $200 machine would last less than two years. We are a retired couple the phone has not had excessive use and there have probably been no more than 15 faxes during the short life of the machine. Handsets for this model do not work with the new models. We will never again buy Panasonic.
