We purchased this phone with four headsets about a year and a half ago. Overall, it has performed very well - the headsets retain their charge for a long time while off the cradle (they often go for several days before being returned to the cradle for part of a day). We've never experienced interference on the sets and everything works in a straightforward, logical manner regarding saving numbers, viewing caller id, etc. The speakerphone - like most - sounds a bit hollow, but it is still clear enough for long, hands-free conversations. We don't often use the answering machine, but it is also easy to use when we need it. This has been a great cordless phone system.

I'm 67 years old, and I've been through a LOT of phones. The Panasonic 5.8GHz is simply the best I've seen. This order was just for an additional handset, but I've been using their 5.8GHz for over a year. Compared to earlier (lower GHz) generations, the sound quality is much better, and the Panasonic has every feature that I can imagine. My wife uses the phone for business, and she threw out two competitive brands for rather minor quirks that bothered her when on the phone a lot. But, she loves this one!

Oh, one last thought. It might apply to all 5.8's, but the battery life (between charges) is much longer than 2.4's, etc.

I've owned the base unit and 2nd phone for several years and have just recently purchased the 3rd and 4th phones to go with it. This system is extremely easy to program and use, the phones are durable, and the battery life of each individual unit is very long. Highly recommend.

got the described phone quick, in brand new condition. Works great for about a third of the price from Panasonic. Used Pay-Pal for the transaction, no hassels what-so-ever. I'd buy from these guys again

I really liked this phone for many reasons - good clarity - long battery life - sturdy design and ease of use. The features are better than many other phones I have had including sending the phonebook from one phone to another. Consider this phone - the base unit and the additional units if you want a good home phone.
