Summary: Not Bad for $ 35.00 USD
Review: Hey, I did order this one and it was the last one left on Amazon for $34.99 with free shipping TO BOOT. It got here in less than 48 Hrs. As for the sound quality, not much different from the Panasonic "tape" machine that crapped out on me after 14 years. While recording your greeting, don't get too close to the mic, which is hidden under where it says mic on the bottom of this unit, over-modulation ( distortion ) generally, a bad sounding greeting will be the result. It works fine and the poor sound others have mentioned is false. Works just fine, if you need a $1000.00 machine, go buy one !!!! GREAT DEAL FOR THE MONEY SPENT !! Voice prompts built into this device are an easy setup and playback from remote calls. The only drawback is Only 15 Min. of rec. time. Thats good for me, maybe not you. On the road the "voice prompts" prompt you for anything you want to do from listening to messages, to totally wiping them all out. No real need to carry a remote command card in your wallet/purse, it asks you what you want to do. You can skip old calls and get to "only" the new ones as well. BEST BUY FOR THE BUCKS !! VERY EASY TO USE !!!

Summary: Satisfied. But there is room for improvement...
Review: I had this machine for about a month now.
Just two things that I don't like:The sound could be improved. I can certanly understand the messages but my former 10 year old tape based answering machine sounded better. It would be nice if they added a built in light in the Caller ID screen (like in cell phones) Other than that not bad for what it costs.

Summary: Don't like it.
Review: I just bought one. Just by looking at it, I agree with one reviewer that it's perhaps one of the least intuitive answering machines out there. The buttons are also too small. I mean this is a stand-alone answering machine, why is it designed in a way that is less generous than even many integrated answering machines on some telephones? Having said these--you probably wonder why I base my judgement on simlpy how it LOOKS--I admit that I have not used it. Why? Because the one I just bought does not work! After everything was set up, connecting to wall jack and telephone, plugging in the AC adapter, there's no light, NOTHING, no matter which button I press. I got a defective item. Perhaps it's not Panasonic's fault, as I ordered it from an online co. (not Amazon.com). I have reason to suspect they shipped me a reburbished one. This is the time when you don't take Amazon.com for granted. Had I ordered it from Amazon.com, I may not only get a functional machine, but also didn't have to stay home whole day expecting the UPS delivery that showed up at the end of the day. Without doubt this review has an emotional side.

Summary: Easy to use, excellent quality
Review: I must confess that I am prompted to write this review mainly because my experiences with the Panasonic KX-TM150B telephone answering machine are in sharp contrast to some of the other users' stated findings.
My main disagreement is in the matter of the unit's ease of use. Although this is a highly subjective area to comment on, I believe that here in the 21st century we can make a few generalized assumptions and judgements about the user interfaces of consumer electronics products, because we now have a fairly long history of consumer products with which to compare against.
When you consider the spectacular array of useful features that this device provides, I feel that it would be extremely difficult to design it with a more straightforward layout. All of the buttons are clearly labeled, and the LCD display as well as voice prompts guide you through all of the setup and operation functions. If someone finds the labeling and pleasant voice prompts insufficient, the instruction manual that comes with the unit takes every setup and operational function and provides a crystal-clear step-by-step guide that anyone who can read English at the fourth-grade level and above will have absolutely no problem in comprehending.
The frequently-used buttons are quite large, and the less-used setup buttons are smaller, as one would logically expect. ALL buttons are placed over 1/2 inch apart when measured from their centers. I would very much like to meet a person who is unable to press the buttons independently, as this person would likely need to be about fourteen feet tall in order to have fingers that are so large as to be unable to independently press the buttons.
Anyone who is still unsure about the unit's ease of use is welcome to download a free .pdf copy of the instruction manual at Panasonic's website. I am confident that a quick glance at the manual will alleviate any fears that may remain regarding this unit's stunningly simple and logical control layout. Regarding the unit's overall quality, it is in keeping with Panasonic's well-deserved reputation for excellence in consumer products. After several months of use it has yet to have the slightest problem or generate any error whatsoever.
Naturally, when you have a company like Panasonic that produces millions of products every year, every now and then one might have a problem. If you are the unlucky person who gets the extremely rare defective unit, just return it to Amazon and let them help you with a replacement....pretty simple, right?
Buy it with confidence.

Summary: Very poor sound quality
Review: It has very nice features but the sound quality is very poor. You can't hear a thing. It is very muffled. I am going to try the AT&T 1760 Digital Answering System and see if that is any better.

Summary: Nothing Special
Review: it's just your basic answering maching.
i didn't like the fact that it doesn't start
screening until someone leaves a message.
no outgoing message screening. the little viewing screen is very hard to read.
i bought it used, and it sounded like the little speaker had been blown out.
terrible sound. i don't know if we're allowed to call products junk, or not.
but if i knew i could, on this one i would.

Review: Quite possibly the least intuitive answering machine possible--it's as though they wanted to design a product that would be confusing and frustrating.

Summary: Basic Answering Machine That Works
Review: The machine works well and very easy to operate.
You need to learn a few buttons and you are up and running.
The greeting message quality is excellent.
The machine provides caller ID info which is very nice. You can also re-dial numbers from the caller ID info.
You can check your messages while out from remote phones.
The messages are stored in memory and do not delete with
a power failure.
The speaker quality is good but not great. However, I am very happy with the outgoing greeting message and that is what everyone hears.
Overall, a good investment.
