Panasonic KX TC1871 900 MHz 1-Line Cordless Phone

Pros: has nearly every conceivable feature
Cons: mediocre sound quality

The trend in consumer electronics these days seems to be ever-increasing features, and constantly declining prices. Such is the case with the Panasonic KX-TC1871, a full featured 900MHz cordless phone with speakerphone, digital answering machine, and...

Pros: Most of the features of the 1870
Cons: Sounds like a walkie talkie, is unacceptably tedious to talk and listen

A few weeks ago I bought and wrote a review of the Panasonic 1870 phone. I saw the new 1871 on sale and decided to give it a try. As I stated in my review, people were telling me I sounded muffled on the 1870 so I was hoping the 1871 would be better....

Pros: Digital duplex speakerphone; dual keypad; digital answering machine
Cons: Battery life; handset ergonomics; no "chain-dialing"

I was really worried about buying this phone because of the first 2 bad opinions on this site, but I went ahead anyway because this was the only phone around with dual keypad , digital duplex speakerphone and answering machine. Well after a year of use, ...

Pros: A phone that is packed with features!
Cons: Sound quality could be better

I purchased this phone few days ago. After reading the opinions of other reviewers, I was skeptical about this purchase. In my humble opinion, I must say that this phone surprised me. When I was shopping, I was looking for a phone that has features...

Pros: Comprehensive feature set, professional, sleek appearance, caller ID on BOTH handset and base.
Cons: Terrible sound, complicated setup.

I had the KX-TC1871B for exactly one day, and most of that was to just charge the battery. In the meantime, I reviewed the manual, which quickly revealed how complicated this phone is. This is in part due to the ton of features it has, but set up could...

Pros: Great Dual Display, Great RF characteristics
Cons: HORRID outgoing sound quality

I fully agree with the previous opinion.

My grandmother had broken yet ANOTHER cordless phone and I saw this little item on the shelf at a local electronics store. I thought, "How neat -- an 1870 but better." Oh what a shock was I...

Pros: Loads of features, very clear sound, easy remote access, and durable
Cons: a little pricey

I still have my phone and yes, it still has outdone my teenage girl. However, I have discovered a drawback to this phone. The plastic shield on the front of the caller ID does not have enough protection from getting scratched. I am disappointed at how...

Pros: Phone Directory, no blankouts, Panasonic name
Cons: battery life, confusing menu, no conversation recording, cannot have direct dialling hotkey numbers!

I have this phone since last one year. believe me, i haven't seen a worse battery hogger except for the remote controlled cars. the phone allows you to save numbers directly but the bad is that the base unit display has no light! my base display's LCD...

Pros: massive functionality, fine voice quality, backlit handset, customizable settings
Cons: base station display and keys are not backlit

For $120 at Best Buy, you cannot beat the phone for its
quality and functionality. Dual keypads, 3-line caller-ID
display, back-lit cell-phone like handset, and fully digital
answering machine make this a must have for a busy home.

Pros: Features
Cons: Some base buttons too small.

I purchased this phone about a month ago. I am a "features" type of person, so this phone fit the bill. I was looking for a phone with Dual-Caller ID, Answering Machine, Dual Number Pad and a Speakerphone. This phone was the the ONLY one I...
