  • Total Nightmare

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 12, 2007
    Pros: Promises what it cannot deliver but sounds feasible
    Cons: It will make you buy a gun and shoot it

    Summary: This fax worked fine for the first six months or so. The next 12 were a nightmare. I often had to stand over it and feed it one page at a time to get it to fax. It constantly jams. It makes me want to pick it up and throw it through a plate glass window. ... read more

  • Stay as far away from this one as you can!

    Pros: Cost
    Cons: Really too many to list. Frustration more than anything!

    Summary: We purchased this machine today and tried to set it up. The paper kept jamming and even when the paper wasn't jammed, it still read it was and you couldn't do anything. I unplugged the machine in an attempt to reset it. No luck, so I called Panasonic ... read more

    Pros: It explodes well when hit by a 30.06 270 grain bullet at 40 yards!
    Cons: Hand feeding sheets when faxing because pickup rollers last 2 weeks and fail.

    Summary: This is the worst fax machine ever! I've always had to hand feed single sheets when faxing! DO NOT BUY THIS CRAPPY MACHINE!I'm taking the machine target shooting.

  • Works for a few months and then the trouble starts.

    Pros: Print quality is good. The machine looks good.
    Cons: Service is terrible. Feeder stops working. Instructions don't address problems.

    Summary: This is our second one because the first one just stopped working. It wouldn't feed paper so you had to push your paper through manually, page by page. It took Panasonic literally three months, and more than a dozen phone calls, letters etc. When they

  • Are we the only ones who like this fax machine?

    Pros: Reliability
    Cons: paper needs are picky

    Summary: This has been a great, no-nonsense fax machine that hasn't required tons of toner ink. We bought it in Sept 05 and only now (Feb 07) it is requiring a new drum. In my experience, that's a long life for a drum. The only drawback that comes to mind is

    Pros: Not too many ...
    Cons: Bulky, streaky, bad paper feeder, toner runs out very quickly.

    Summary: Have had my KX-FL511 for 2 years and the problems have been non-stop. Everything from the paper feeder not working to streaky copies, taking multiple sheet simultaneously, etc. Don't buy this model - I have had good experiences with other Panasonic fax

  • Not so durable machine

    Pros: chic look
    Cons: it is not durable

    Summary: At first glance this fax machine looks like everything that you'll ever need but you guys should be aware of the details of this machine before purchasing. At first use of this machine everything worked quite well but just after a few months the handles

  • poor quality choice

    Pros: The price was good at the time.
    Cons: Designed to become obsolete so you are forced to buy another machine!

    Summary: After 1.5 years the machine is no longer made and I need to replace the drum or I can no longer make copies. The price of a new drum is almost as much as the machine.

  • Not worth it

    Pros: Large paper capacity
    Cons: Noisy

    Summary: Within two weeks of installing this in my office, it was asking for more toner, but it isn't out. After 3 months it finally ran out, but each time it says I'm out it prints a page using tons of toner, it's done this dozens of times, the amount of toner

  • Avoid this fax machine

    Mar 22, 2006
    Pros: Large, readable buttons
    Cons: Poor customer service, complicated procedures for fixing paper jams, overall poor quality.

    Summary: While this fax machine is relatively user friendly, it started jamming repeatedly after one year, to the point where it would not send a fax at all. Customer service was rude and unhelpful, and after trying all of their solutions, the fax would still

  • KEEP WALKING ON THIS ONE!

    Pros: Cost.
    Cons: Does not operate well at all. Bad machine choice.

    Summary: This Panasonic machine is a nightmare. Every time we need to send a fax, we dread standing over the machine, feeding ever gently each page one at a time. This machine cannot handle more than a one page fax on its own. Also, trying to make sense of its

  • Terrible fax Beware if Purchasing via Auction

    Pros: I see no pros associated with this unit.
    Cons: Large and bulky, poor intake mechanism prone to significant and frustrating paper jams.

    Summary: A key component that is usually considered a standard part of a fax machine, the printer drum, is considered as an accessory in this unit. The ink cartridge too, is considered an accessory. The accessory drum costs a little over $100 retail and the ink

    Pros: Clear printing.
    Cons: Chronically non operational.

    Summary: This machine is prone to frequent breakdown. The only form of effective tech support provided by Panasonic puts the customer on a waiting list for a replacement (current wait time is more than two weeks). In addition, there are two components (drum and

    Pros: User Friendly
    Cons: Too large

    Summary: Worst Fax Machine I have ever used. Feeds all or several pages at one time. DO NOT purchase this one! Panasonic support no help. The actually told me to feed one page at a time, what does automatic mean to them? Good copies, however. User

    Pros: Cheap Toner. Crisp Resolution. Fax operation easy to understand.
    Cons: Will not store multiple faxes to different numbers.

    Summary: This product is great if you need a copy machine and fax machine in one. Operation is easy to understand. Not as cheaply made as Brother or Canon. Toner is very cheap compared to a stand alone copy

    Pros: Many functions
    Cons: Poor design. Grabs 2-5 sheets at once. Pass this one by.

    Summary: Stay away! $250 & it's no better than a $100 HP or a $160 Brother. Machine was broken out of the box: grabs 2-5 pages at once, & is a piece of junk. overly complex. Buy a Brother 1800c or an
