Review on πŸ“ž PANASONIC KX-TGF352N Corded/Cordless Phone System with Answering Machine, One Touch Call Blocking - Champagne Gold (2 Handsets) by Stuart Rasmussen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits snugly against the wall - Save time and read on the short cord - set up and adjust instantly.

We had an old set of 3 top cordless phones (at once) from Panasonic. But after we've had them for about 10 years (and they weren't new when we got them), the buttons on some of them were getting a bit dodgy. If you're playing hard at number 1, press 2 on this phone and eventually there's no need to go back to base to make a call. So I started researching. The biggest thing I was looking for was something that wouldn't stick out far from the wall. This is the ONLY ONE on the internet I could find after hours of searching that fits the wall pretty much exactly. at its deepest point it juts out a little over 4 inches. With the wall mount attached, our old one stuck out nearly 6 inches. This makes it narrow, tight-fitting, close to the wall. Again the closest I could find. The width is about 9 inches and the height is just over 7.5 inches. (Again, the pipe, which I suppose you could turn off and remove if you needed to for whatever reason.) Features are easier to understand than our previous set. (although some of the settings for the ones we don't want to use have #codes that probably only the most fanatical will remember). I love that the mounting plate can be easily changed for wall mounting or desktop. It's also sacred, so it can accommodate the extra length of a phone and power cord. Great that you don't have to wrap the cord and/or plug it in here - oh worry it won't reach the outlet now. Cordless phones come with batteries, the base backup power supply does not come with batteries. Works without them. Requires 2 AAA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. I researched and ordered the iMac brand, they are orange and black. A person probably won't need it if you have a backup battery from the phone company. Other things to look out for: Only champagne color (light brown-gold color) on the front of the cordless phones, the back of the corded phone and in front of the base - the rest is more of a white color. The keyboard and display in the center of the base have a darker tone. The cable is very short and has narrower plugs. The ringtone can be set to my liking, it is very loud. I didn't think I would miss an ounce of the caller. from our old phones. But I did, I went through the manual/settings brochure. Bad luck. However, when I set up base.lo and lo and behold, it has an ounce of callers that you can turn on or off. Wired Base Bonus - You always know where at least 1 phone is located. Note: I only have a week and still love these phones. The only thing is that I have a hard time adjusting to one thing. I forget that I can just hit the shutdown button and go to base instead. Hope this is helpful - I know I'd appreciate it if I did a search.
