I hate faxing with this fax machine- it is such a time waster. It NEVER sends on the first 'connect'. I have to dial wait for it to ring then it connects but makes the connect ring for aa while and then it hangs up. then i have to redial and then it connects and sends. I have NEVER had it connect and send on the first. It takes 10 min when it should take 5. I do not recommend it at all.

Worked fine for about a year. Now both paper feeders jam! I can't send a fax, make a copy or receive a fax. The paper feeders don't grab the paper. I tried cleaning the unit to no avail. Next I called the Panasonic support number. (As a side note the service number included with the fax machine is for porn). Finding the correct number on the website was a waste of time. They were of no help. Nearest authorized service center was 1.5 hours away. After the problems I have had with this Panasonic a several Panasonic cordless phones I won't buy any of their products again.

This is the absolute worst fax machine ever! I would not even call it a fax machine because it doesn't fax! Where to start -- the paper feeder will not take multiple pages. It jams or smashes 3 pages together. Do not buy this product. It's a waste of you money. It's a waste of your time. You'll just end up having to buy a new fax machine anyway.

Almost to the day, the feed mechanism started acting up after 1 year (yes, the warranty is for 1 year!)Next time I'll buy a Brother.

This has been the most reliable and lowest cost fax of the many (grrrr!) I've tried. My only caveat would be that the rollers need occasional cleaning; easy to do with a swab and some alcohol. Other than that little maintenance, this thing just cooks along. Feeds nicely, prints clearly, and I really like the low cost of laser compared to an inkjet that cleans itself and wastes all my ink.
Highly recommended!
