Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Sometimes manufacturer's get it right. This product is no exception. All of the features work as advertised. It is economical with it's use of the "printing film" (for copies and faxes). Of course, the more you fax and copy, the sooner it will run out.
I've purchased 4 additional "remote hand sets" (Quantity:2 of KXTGA520M and quantity:2 of KXTGA523M). I also purchased the Headset KXTCA92) as well for my office.
I've owned this system for 10 months and everything works flawlessly! Calls are crystal clear; Conference works great; it stores over 30 "missed" calls (I usually delete them when there is that many). I've only replaced the replaceable film once. I'd say that I fax and copy maybe twice a week. The battery life on all of the phones is excellent. I've had conference calls lasting up to 5 hours (thank god for the headset) and the battery still listed 3 full bars after I hung up.
There is a nice backlight to see who's calling. There is also a nice female digital voice that reads off who is calling when the phone rings. This feature may seem trivial, but it works at every handset throughout the house so you don't have to be near the "main terminal" to hear it. If the caller does not allow caller ID, but allow their call number to display, the female voice says "number available" but does not read the number. If their "name" comes up, it will read the name and gets it pronounced correctly about 85% of the time. For example, a phone call from "Dan & Angela Dickens" is pronounced correctly but a call from "UNICOM" is pronounced "u-ni-come" instead of U-NI-COM.
Here's the one drawback: When someone like a telemarketer calls and you see that it's from an "888" number, you can hit the "off" button which stops that particular phone from ringing any further. However, it does not stop ALL of the other phones from continuing to ring. As I said, I purchased 4 other handsets scattered throughout the house so you can hear the other phones ringing after you hit the "off" button. A minor annoyance I've found to be a small mark on the overall feature set.
The distance allowed from the "main terminal" is also excellent. I've been on conference calls and walked to my mailbox outside which is about 700 feet away with no loss or degredation of signal. I am not sure what the manufacturer specifications are but I believe that is plenty for just about any household or small office.
To summarize, I've owned 3 of these types of "all in one" phone systems over the past 10 years and this model (and it's accessories) are top notch! I recommend it highly to anyone!
