No problems through three apartments and 8 years

(5 out of 5) by B. Beth on Nov 14, 2006 (United States)
This little number has been fantastic. It finally died after about 8 years and I bought another of the same model in part because I couldn't find another option without purchasing a whole phone, which I don't need.

Records clearly enough, can get messages remotely which I like. Memo function is great for last minute thoughts before I fall asleep. No tape, so people can leave longer messages.

However, after a long silence it will end the recording. It has to sense when someone has "hung up..." so if you have a VERY slow speaker it might be a nuisance.

Couldn't be worse!

The title says it all. Wanted to pick '0 star' from the dropdown list, but it's not available, so I had to pick '1 star'.

pretty good

(4 out of 5) by R. Kaka on May 24, 2002 (United States)
..., mine is an excellent answerin machine, the voice comes clear, and it is pretty easy to work with.
i didn't have any high expectation when i bought it, just needed a cheap machine to answer calls when i wasn't home, and this systm did the trick, i bought it last year in november, five months ago, and its working fine. i don't have any problems with it, i haven't even changed the battries yet.
