I bought this product about a week ago. I'm satisfied it's performance is "as advertised"; all the functions function as they're designed to and it has several new and nifty features not present on my 6+ year old version of Panasonic's 2001 phone/answering machine. The range of the units is great. I can talk all over the house, up and downstairs. The voice Caller ID is totally handy and so far there've been no hilarious gaffs as the machine tries to pronounce difficult names, although I must say I would welcome a few mistakes for humor's sake. The unit is easy to program, the vocal clarity is rather good. At this point my only complaint is this: what the HELL was Panasonic thinking when it designed that ridiculous wall mount? All my other Panasonic units (and there have been a few dating back many years)were wall-mountable so that they lay (more or less) flat against and parellel with the wall. This new version sits perpendicular to the wall, which position makes its use quite awkward unless you happen to be well over 6' tall. It also juts out in such a way as to make bumping or crashing into it inevitable. Finally, it's aesthetically egregious.
However, I'm otherwise altogether satisfied with my purchase. If I could have given stars in half increments I would have rated this product at 41/2 for the reason/rant already stated.
Thanks for reading.

Was very much looking forward to this phone. Unfortunately, the phone did not work on arrival despite multiple troubleshooting attempts. Basically the phone base station was non-functional. Panasonic customer service was absolutely terrible. They could offer no solutions and the only option is to pack up this phone that is less than 12 hours old, send it to Texas at my expense and hope they send me a "refurbished" unit in the next two weeks. They were completely unwilling to send me a new phone. Bottom line- phone looks great, but mine didn't work at all.

The Panasonic 6074 had the features I wanted with a brand name I trust. In particular, the talking caller ID allows us to keep about our activities without having to look at a display to read that it is yet another telemarketer. The intercom feature is a bit unusual in that I have to select a particular handset to call rather than simply ringing all handsets to locate a person. I suppose that would be more appropriate if a phone were in a particular bedroom, etc.

Sound quality is good, and the speakerphone function is better than expected. I dare suggest Panasonic has caught up to AT&T sound quality, and in my opinion have always exceeded them in reliability.

This phone is fantastic! My mother is hard of hearing and this phone has improved her ability to talk on the phone. She loves it!

Have you ever scrambled to get to the phone to see who's calling? With this product you don't have to worry, it audibly tells you who is calling. With this wireless technology, it is easy and convenient to have phones strategically placed throughout your home (especially where you do not have connections). I am never far from the phone and this product is awesomely reliable. I would highly recommend it to you!
