Pros: looks good, sounds good and is comfortable to use
Cons: zero battery life in use, therefore useless!

| Fritz57's Full Review: Panasonic KX-TG2584 2.4 GHz 1-Line Corded / Cordle... |
Panasonic greatly disappoints. I believe their time as a respected cordless phone maker is over. I have had Panasonic units for many years. This is the second unit I've received. After a month the ability of the battery to hold a charge failed again.
Although the base unit sounds pretty good, the cordless doesn't hold a charge for more then 10 minutes of time in use. And it crackles.
On standby, it doesn't do much better. Perhaps an hour.
I finally found a 3rd party NiMH batt for it. Now I can carry on a reasonable length conversation with it. But it still crackles.
They pulled this one from the supply chain shortly after it was introduced. Hopefully Panasonic learned their lesson in subsequent products. I'd always been a fan of their cordless phones until this one.
