A really great phone system this one, I also purchased an extra handset and they are very easy to add. The whole system is straight forward to set up, quick and simple to add contacts, you also only need to add your contacts to one of the phones and however many you have, and including the base station, all the information you put into that one phone will automatically be added to all the others, even if you added another handset at a later date. The menus are easy to follow and simple to input data. This model has so many great features with not just caller id but you can also set them up to verbally call out the name of the caller, which is really good for maybe elderly people or if you have any sight problems, it’s a very handy feature. All in all a really good phone system which is easy to set up.

Purchased this system for my shop as I previously had only one wired telephone which meant leaving customers waiting if we needed to check something on the shop floor. Our previous phone was very basic and had no features. Purchased this as I liked the look of the portable phone as an accessory and we now use the portable device almost exclusively.There are plenty of features which make this a great system for home or small business. The devices talk to each other seamlessly and we have had no issues in the two or so years we have had this in service. The system is semi-closed, in the sense that it is it’s own little ecosystem but still allows you to upgrade and add additional handsets (which I have.) There are multiple features within the system such as call blocking, intercom calls (handset to handset) as well as a locator feature which can be handy if you have put the portable phone somewhere and can’t find it. The battery life is great on the portable phone and the charging cradle is easy to use and hassle free.Installing the device is simple. Install the main, wired handset as you would a regular phone. It requires 1x power source (230v) and one line in connection. The portable device requires power only (230v) and the base needs to be powered at all times. You can add additional handsets – check compatibility first but there are many options. In my case, I purchased KX-TGD624EB for my other shop which is a set of two portable phones (one main, one additional) – I removed the additional handset and added it to this base. I believe you can add more than two additional handsets.Each handset can be named and will all talk to eachother. You can call individual handsets from another internally, or all together. You can also hand-off a call to a different handset, so you can choose where you’d like to “send” it and it will ring on the other handset.There is a phonebook memory. It’s fairly small at just over 100 entries but sufficient for most uses. You can categorise entries which makes searching for them easier but a great feature for me is the ability to choose different ringtones for each category so you can easily distinguish the call before it comes through. The range on the portables is great too – at most we can be about 20m from the base and there is no drop in quality or connection. The device in the office is only around 5m from the base but must travel through two walls. There is other inteference from devices but this does not affect the quality.One frustrating feature on the portable handsets is that if there is a power cut or even if power is momentarily lost from the base (such as moving to a different outlet) then the time must be re-set on the device. This is still the case if the master handset has never lost power. I would have assumed that the battery power in the device would retain this information but apparently not. However, you don’t lose your other data, such as contacts, settings etc.There are features which we don’t use, such as answer phone, parental controls, call blocking, etc but this is more than suitable for my business use. In the future I do plan on upgrading to a more managed VOiP system but this current system is more than satisfactory.In summary, the sound quality is good. The calls are loud and clear and the ring is also a good volume (also adjustable.) The devices are fairly easy to use and even for someone not very tech savvy they will take little time to become accustomed to. The range is spectacular and will cover even the largest homes and most small businesses. The system is functional, reliable and the hardware is good quality.I’m sure the era of landlines is slowly dying in residential uses and I am sure larger businesses will use more advanced systems. However, this is a fantastic product at a great price.

Excellent phone.Easy to set up and use.Avoids the need to use a complicated menu system by utilising a simple input code that takes you straight to the screen you want.If you are looking for a landline with answer machine this is the one for you.Perfect.

An excellent ‘phone set for the money from a well respected Japanese brand name. This was purchased for people with hearing difficulties and the features provided for that work well. The purchase was also made necessary due to the demise of a Gigaset outfit which simply gave up the ghost not long out of guarantee. Other reviewers on the relevant pages have also spoken of this peculiarity. The main unit is quite large and even though it is supposed to be wall mountable, I’m not sure I would want to. You need to picture it in your room before you buy. It needs an electric socket nearby and a chair, due to the extreme shortness of the handset cord on the main unit. I hope this ‘gives’ a bit over time as, at the moment, it’s a bit of a nuisance and the reason for the missing star. I do a fair bit of diy and when I have turned the power off on various occasions, the battery back-up has worked well. It re-charges once the power is back on. The cordless satellite hand set is a really nice unit with a clear screen and an easy to follow menu. It also has similar facilities to the main unit for assisting the hard of hearing.Having said all that and this is nothing to do with the product review, this is probably the last landline telephone I will own. My whole household is now properly conversant with smartphone use and I now very rarely give out my home phone number or put it on online or ‘hard copy’ forms. Should this unit ever fail, I will seriously consider being ‘mobile only’.

Best Performance
Very good instrument

Defective product delivered
Base unit is not working in battery . Once power is off then base unit is nit working. Vendor has to take care and send technician to rectify it or replace with good one
