Home > Consumer Reviews > Panasonic KX-TG2352W 2.4 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone System

I bought this phone to replace our old Panasonic and VTech 900 MHz phones. Well first I bough the Motorola MD451 but the constant drop out of sound could not be ignored anymore. Returned that item and bought the KX-TG2352W. Same price with less features but the sound quality is 100% better. People on the receiving end comment about it too.

Features I like about the phone:
* Excellent sound quality (even being close to the microwave and my computer)
* Intercom between handsets
* Backlit keypad and Caller ID screen
* Actual 7 days between charges (Motorola couldn't last 3)
* Cool ring tones (I have them setup on the bird call)
* Good range (about 400' from base, base located in the office upstairs)

Features I don't like:
* Limit of only three handset extensions
* This model (no answering machine) only comes in white
* Individual call directory per handset
* Menu's to get the phone to dialup voice-mail

Features I wish it had:
* Larger LCD screen, more lines
* signal strength meter
* caller directory (phone book) linked together (each phone has it's own)
* More ring tones
* Able to add more than 3 handsets
* Different color than white (black and silver please)
* One button push to dial voice-mail
* Key pad lock (for when it's in my pocket)

5 stars, I highly recommend this phone.

I was fed up with having bad cordless phones and began my quest to find a good one once and for all. I did a lot of research and decided on this model. I cannot say enough good things about this phone. I can run my microwave and the phone does not pick up static. My children love it because they both can grab a phone and turn on the built in speaker and walk around. It has been dropped quite a few times and still works great.
I was a bit concerned about some reviews that said a 2.4 ghz could mess with your dsl high-speed connection, but I can talk on the phone while sitting on the computer and have not had any problems.

I bought this phone a couple of months ago and have been very happy with it. The caller ID is easy to read with larger print than my last caller ID cordless phone (a Sony). Reception and range are excellent. There is a speakerphone on each handset. The two handsets can also be used like an intercom or walkie-talkies inside or outside the house. There are also handset locator buttons on the base, for each handset, and a button for a third handset if you choose to order it. You can push the buttons individually, or locate all two or three handsets at the same time, with another larger silver button on the base.

You have 6 ring styles to choose from. There is a directory where you can add numbers from your caller ID list, or add your own names and numbers. Two belt clips come with the package, and you can use an optional headset (ordering instructions in the owner's manual). The phone also has flash/call waiting capability. The volume has a good range. There is green backlighting on the number keys and caller ID screen.

I like the white color of the phone except for one thing - it gets dirty and shows it more than my last cordless phone which was gray. The base can be wall-mounted or sit on a flat surface. The second handset has a charger that can be plugged in to any electrical outlet in your home - no need for a phone jack.

I charge my cordless phones every night, including this one, so I will never know how faint the warning beep is, as another reviewer complained about. I charged my phone the required 15 hours when it was first set up, and charge every night.

Highly recommend.

Just bought this last week, upgrading from old 900 MHz systems, and have already ordered an extra handset. This beats having to run phone jacks in the kids bedrooms, and the intercom feature should put an end to our current "shoutercom" system that we employ whenever we want the kids to come downstairs.

Sound quality is excellent, with no degradation when I walk out to the mailbox. The speakerphone is really good too. I do wish the volume could go a bit louder, though.

Programming the thing is simple--I figured it out without going to the manual, which does appear to be thorough and reasonably well-written. The wall mounting adapter looks kind of wobbly, but that's not a concern for me.

My only serious complaint is that you can't have more than 3 handsets total in this system. I'd love to have two more. Also, I wish you could do three-way conferences with the handsets, but you appear to be limited to two.

I needed a phone with multiple handsets due to a shortage of phone jacks in my house. The extra handset and charger base can be placed anywhere near a power outlet. With the main base unit in the upstairs bedroom, both handsets work great anywhere in my house (and outside in the backyard too). The handsets also have excellent battery life.

Some other nice features: the LCD combined with memory is a visual dialing directory; you can use speakerphone on the cordless handset (this is useful if you're put on hold by customer service) ; a MUTE feature; intercom feature between the handsets.

My only concern is the volume control, which doesn't have a large range. Mine is usually on maximum, so if I get a call from someone on a bad cell phone connection, there's no room to turn it up.
