PanasonicCompact Cordless Phone with DECT 6.0, 1.6" Amber LCD and Illuminated HS Keypad, Call Block, Caller ID, Multiple Display Languages - 1 Handset - KX-TGB810S (Black/Silver)

Needed a landline for work calls. This little cordless champ is reliable, has clear audio, and looks slick. Caller ID and block function are clutch.✔ Tip: If you're setting it up for a senior, it’s very user-friendly. Buttons light up and are easy to read.

I needed a compact phone for a second line. I didn't want an answering machine or a ton of bells and whistles. This phone doesn't take up a large footprint of space on my desk. It's quite compact. It has caller ID which I definitely wanted. I like that one of the ringtones I could chose is a very musical, whimsical style so that I can hear a very unique ring from elsewhere in the house and know which line is ringing since this phone doesn't ring often and is the only one connected to the second line. The sound quality isn't great but I didn't expect that for the price point. But, the sound isn't too bad either. I wish more phones still had the earbud or headset jack option - I do miss that. I'd buy this phone again as a good spare phone or as an added phone in various rooms to keep from running to grab a call. Without the headset jack or a bluetooth option, I wouldn't want it for my daily use phone that I'm on long calls with because I like to free up my hands for writing and typing while on the phone. So far that's my only negative but I knew the feature wasn't there when I bought it.

This is a great little phone for basic use. I have the bigger one with the full base station and several handsets at the business office. I wanted something similar without the higher cost for my home office and this fit the bill. The phone line is being installed tomorrow so I may post and update after that.Pros1. It came with everything, including the batteries.2. The price was great, though it went up significantly (60%) since I purchased it. The new price seems rather high for what you get.3. It has various pleasant ring settings and volumes.4. It doesn't take up much space and is lightweight. It probably weighs less than a cell phone.5. It was easy to assemble and start working with.Cons1. There is no "do not disturb" button to turn it off when sleeping. You can turn the ringer volume off, but that takes quite a few buttons through menus to accomplish and then one would have to remember to turn it back on with as many buttons.2. The cords are rather short, so it needs to be right next to the jack and power supply. I didn't measure, but I'd guess 4 feet long. If your power supply and phone jack are not close to one another it would be a problem or require extension cords. Being most people put a phone on a table or desk, you lose 2 - 3 feet just from the location on the desk to the floor where the jack and power supply are, so if the jacks are not within a foot of the furniture it wouldn't work.3. You need both glasses and a 3x or more magnifying glass while squinting to read the instruction book. It's like an ingredient list on a product that would rather their ingredients not be known. Super tiny!I will update my review after the phone service is installed and I make/receive a few calls.UPDATE: Now that my phone service was installed, and I've been using it a couple of days I am happy to say the phone works well. The only negative is the quality of the sound on speaker is very poor and tinny sounding, which is stressful to listen to. It grates on me and makes having a meaningful conversation impossible. It's a shame this is not headset compatible. All phones s/b headset compatible, both for privacy and free the use of hands for using a computer during the call or taking notes.

I bought six of these phones. Every single one of them has volume so low you can hardly hear. The speaker phone is also too low to hear. Yes, I have excellent hearing. Yes, my telephone company checked the lines and they are fine. The phone company technician says it is in the phones. The speaker phone is also very hard to hear as well. And it is not a duplex speakerphone for easy two way conversations. The phone is under-powered with AAA batteries instead of packs. The batteries cannot run a decent amplifier. I replaced the phones with VTech phones that look the same at the same price. No problem at all. Excellent volume and no buzzing. Instant night and day difference. Avoid these phones if you care about volume. I am the owner of the phones. I am not paid to either recommend VTech or criticize this Panasonic phone. Maybe they make other models that are better, I don't know. But all six of these are terrible.
