Panasonic Dect 6.0 Series 3 Handset Cordless Phone System with Answering System (KX-TG1033S)

Excellent. Works very well. Does everything it said it would. Very satisfied

They were nice phones but the volume would not turn up high i would not buy these phones but usually Panasonic has good products !

We bought these to replace a 3-4 year old VTech dual set that had dead spots in our house and to add a unit. The Panasonic with Dect 6.0 solved the dead zone issue and seems to have great range inside and outside. In the deal, we also got: (1) better sound quality, (2) a lighter phone, (3) bigger buttons, (4) an decent sounding speaker phone, (5) erasing missed calls on one unit does it on all three, (6) longer battery life. Only negatives going thru more menus to erase (but that is more than offset by #5) and we didn't like the wall mount. Since we have voicemail I haven't used the answering machine, but am considering going to that for ease of use and ability to hear message being left and interrupt if desired. We are very pleased with this phone system.

The 1033 series is still a great phone, but for a few dollars more, the 9334 series is far better. My neighbor has the 9334 series and when I bougth the 1033 phones, I did not realize my error - I wanted the same phone set she has. However, the 1033 is still an excellent choice, but spend the extra $10 - $20 and get the 9334 phones.

You do not get automatic copying from one phone to the others, call blocking, nor night-time mode.

Good audio quality, good build quality, great reception, easy to use, good battery life, good range. Compared to the three cordless GE phones I've owned that all broke within 2 years (Best Buy's service plan was definitely a good investment there...), this seems like a very good deal indeed.
