Good phone system.......2007-11-14

I have been using the KX-TG5771 phone for four months now and find it very satisfactory. The range of the handset is great, extending from the front porch to the rear patio with good quality throughout (the base is in a second floor office). Sound quality is fine, and the headset accessory is very comfortable and clear - great for conference calls.

Panasonic losing their edge.......2007-04-20

I purchased the phone to replace the Panasonic that I had for about 4 years. The older phone was rich in functionality and performed outstandingly well.

NOT this phone. Many of the features are either missing or buried under two or three layers of menus. It does not even have a find handset option on it's front which is key to today's portable home phones.

Outraged at uselessness.......2007-02-15

I don't usually write reviews.

The phone doesn't automatically work when I plug it in. Dials OK. But doesn't respond to a ring.

I returned it to Amazon. Second unit (replacement, received today) is just like the first.

This is really outrageous. (Other phones plugged into same jack ring fine. Unit is powered up. Battery is charged. Base unit ring volume set high. Same for handheld unit. Phone does not respond to incoming calls in any way -- no flashing light, no answering machine pickup, no ring. Phone makes outgoing calls fine. When I dial the phone's number from the phone itself, phone network indicates busy.)

I am now waiting for a response from Panasonic technical support.

Bad reception.......2007-01-27

After only three months the reception on this phone is almost completely shot. Lots of static makes callers virtually inaudible.

Disappointing sound quality.......2006-11-28

Being generally a fan of panasonic phones, this one was a disappointment in several ways. (I imagine that the Panasonic KX-TG5576M would get the same review since it offers a color handset but the same 'guts', and the phones of one unit are compatible with the other.)

First and foremost, the volume on the handset just isn't loud enough. At max volume the voice on the other end sounded far away (according to the caller, I sounded fine though).

Second, the talking Caller ID doesn't come in until the second ring, and even then it says the name instead of the number, which means that cell calls come in as "cordless"... not much help. If you don't like the feature, however, you can disable it.

Third, I didn't really like the ergonomics. The unit felt slippery and the buttons weren't easy for me to press with my thumb. This kind of thing is subjective, of course.

I compared this unit side by side with the Uniden TRU9485. According to the person on the other end, the Uniden handset and especially its speakerphone sounded better than the Panasonic's handset and speakerphone. On my side, the Uniden is way better than the panasonic when it comes to handset volume. The Uniden doesn't measure up to the quality of a corded line, but the volume makes the talker much more legible than with the Panasonic.

So, my recommendation (surprisingly, since I have liked Panasonic and disliked Uniden in the past) is to skip the Panasonic and go with the Uniden. You'll save some money doing that, too, so the Uniden is a win-win.
