Pros: light, good sound quality, good battery life, good buttons
Cons: none

I got this unit a couple of months ago when the existing living room cordless phone was getting a lot of static, couldn’t hold a charge and the digital readout was failing. My wife uses cordless phones exclusively. She is disabled and cannot get ...

Pros: Very user friendly, Voice Enhancer, long battery life, battery life indicator, large display
Cons: None - way to go Panasonic!!!!

My nightmare of searching for the perfect phone is over! Note to readers: This rating is for model KX-TG6021CM which I was not able to find on epinion but it is this particular phone for which more handsets can be purchased separately We went ...

Pros: Speaker phone, intercom, automatic call transfer, battery charge indicator
Cons: Small keys. Handset not very comfortable.

I'm satisfied with this phone. When you have a missed message (voice mail), this is indicated on the screen, but you can also program the unit so that the light on the handset slowly flashes. I prefer larger Call and Off buttons. The handset isn't ...

Pros: None
Cons: Worse than useless. You cannot talk and be heard, and it frustrates friends and family.

Four months ago, I bought two of these phones. Both quickly developed the annoying habit of cutting me out of the conversation a few minutes into every call. I can hear the person at the other end, but they cannot hear me.

These phones will be replaced. Panasonic will not see my phone business again.

Pros: Chain-dialing. Inexpensive. Can talk to a caller on both handsets.
Cons: No missed message light. Small buttons. Not very comfortable handset.

I'm satisfied with this phone, except that when you have a missed message (voice mail), this is only indicated on the screen, not on a light on the base unit or handset. I had hoped that it would display on the light on the handset (change color or flash), but technical support confirmed that this is not the case.

I prefer larger Call and Off buttons. The handset isn't very comfortable to hold.

It has chain-dialing (e.g. entering a number to contact a low-cost long-distance service, then entering the number of the person you want to call) but the process is more complicated that I like.

It is possible for a person on one handset to answer an outside call, and for a person on a second handset to pick it up and join the conversation. Not all cordless phones have this.

It has a battery charge indicator, which is nice. It has a good speaker phone.

The keypad does not light up.

Once you enter numbers into the address book they can/must be propagated to the other handset by pressing a certain combination of buttons.
