Rating: 2 stars
Summary: static
Review: this phone is downright terrible. I used to have a panasonic 2.4GHZ phone that was was fried by spilled beer during a late night college thing. That phone was great and travelled through almost my entire dorm without static--a big 19th century stone monstrocity of a building. I bought this one for its speakerphone and it is static-ridden in my room. It won't ring or find a signal down the hall. Maybe it's a dud, but it's enough to turn me off to panasonic phones.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The battery life is poor.
Review: I bought this phone...and with the money I paid for it I was definitly expecting a better product. I go away for school so when I do call home I talk on the phone for a little while with my entire family. Well, if you expect on having a 2 hour conversation with someone...forget it!!! This means a full 2 hour conversation or the same amount of time just broken up into smaller conversations if you don't put it on it's charger. The battery life is horrible. My friend bought a cheap phone from [store]and that thing rarely makes it to the base and always gets talked on and the thing never dies. But my phone is always beeping a bit into the conversation...and I do return it to the base. It's a disappointment. Also, if you plan on using a handset...BE CAREFUL...because the other party can barely hear you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Do not buy!
Review: Unreliable - that's the best I can say. Half the time the handset can't find the base station - even when it's only 3 feet away. When it can connect to the base station the signal is loaded with static. Also, the range is lousy. 15 yards is about the best I've been able to get.
Finally, as others have said - the speaker phone is all but useless.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Okay.
Review: First of all, I have to say this phone is great for durability. My niece dropped it in the dog's dish and it still came out unscathed.

Secondly, the range is really, really good. I haven't tried getting up on the roof with it yet, but I should, just to prove my point.

The bad points: It makes annoying beeping noises, and it keeps hanging up on people. If you want a durable phone with a great range, buy it. If you want a phone that will never annoy you, stay away from this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: When it works it is great!
Review: Range = Unbelievably excellent.
Answer machine BROKE within 3 months!
Says "Out of range" 1/2 the time when standing NEXT to base.
Static all the time now that it is 1 year old.
Product looks great , works great (When Working)
I own 2 of them and PAINT RUBS OFF within 3 moinths ande 1 LCD screen is burned yellow & green....Why?
Panasonics' "Quality Control" is LOUSY!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: you'd have to be a masochist...
Review: Some days are worse than others, but on an average of once a week, the phone scares the [heck] out of me by making a loud beeping noise right into my ear, drops my connection, and displays the message "Searching for base" even though the damn base is 1 foot away. I hate the fact that I have to buy another phone even though I just dropped [some money] on this one, but I have to say, I don't think that this phone is very good for my health. Definitely don't get it if you are sensitive to loud noises or have a history of heart problems. I'm not even kidding.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wish you had a ZERO STAR RATING!
Review: THIS PHONE IS THE BIGGEST RIP OFF I HAVE HAD OF ANY ELECTRONIC PURCHASE. I THOUGHT THE PANASONIC BRAND PLUS ALL THE HYPE SURROUNDING THIS PHONE MEANT IT WOULD AT LEAST FUNCTION PROPERLY IF NOT OUTSTANDINGLY...BUT THE BATTERY LIFE RARELY EXCEEDS 1/2 AN HOUR AND HAS CAUSED MANY DROPPED CALLS. ONLY THE SPEAKERPHONE IS WORTH USING UNLESS YOU WANT TO HANG UP ON THE OTHER PARTY. DONT BUY IT!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poor product
Review: Panasonic has already replaced the motherboard once, and the phone(KXTG2570) is now inoperable again. It has been a frustrating experience. I had 12 years of flawless service from an ATT cordless phone, I'm going to purchase another to replace this Panasonic.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Persistent static too
Review: Surprising to learn in reading these reviews that I am not the only one experiencing problems with constant static and "Out of Range" messages while standing next to the base station. It is disappointing that a company the size of Panasonic would manufacture a product of such poor quality. Thank you to the reviewer who provided guidance in how to repair the phone. Has anyone had experience with authorized Panasonic repair?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mine works fine
Review: I'm perfectly happy with the phone except for the fact that the lifetime of the handset seems to be fairly short. I'm within 10 feet of the base, but usually by my computer and television and with a wall in the way. With that setup, the handset only seems to last for about 2 hours of talk time at best. The fact that I have to edit phone numbers to call back from the caller log doesn't bother me. I don't get clicking and buzzing sounds from the recording machine, although the handset does get warm after a while. I attempted to use an AT&T hands-free headset with the phone and got completely unusable sound quality there. Is this the finest telephone that I can imagine? Not hardly. But it does its job tolerably well.
