Summary: Buggy as all get out
Review: I bought this answering machine thinking this would be a low-cost, high-quality alternative to voice mail. You get what you pay for with this turkey. Be careful how you scroll through your call history, for you might find your voice messages inaccessible as a result. See an item in your call history in the first scroll through, then...poof...gone without a trace.

Summary: Not Worth It
Review: I had an answering machine for years and decided to update to a newer model and bought this one because it was closest to the one Consumer Reports recommended - big mistake! Three months later it's broken and going thru AT&T's help line was a big pain. After going thru a bunch of prompts, a tape recording told me to "replace the batteries and the tape." This unit has neither one.

Summary: ATT/Lucent Digital machines are not dependable
Review: I have purchased a model 1725 machine that did not last 2 weeks. I returned it for repair/exchange and ordered another for a spare, then another for a second line. Less than 3 months later none of these machines are usable. I have lost valuable messages and will not return these for repair -- the service I received leads me to shop for another brand. I have also sold telephones and found that of all the brands that I sold, ATT was the one that was returned the most. Buy another brand!

Summary: Spend your money elsewhere
Review: I suffered with this machine for 30 days before returning it to the store. When you read the package it sounds like a great machine with many useful features. And it would be, if the features worked. The whole machine was unreliable - messages got cut off, sound quality was mixed, I had difficulty reading the display, and the controls were a bit too difficult to use. I switched to a Casio and am much happier. That's after having owned AT&T answering machines for over 10 years. Please, learn from my mistake.

Summary: Other reviews are misleading
Review: I was scared to order this answering machine because of the other reviews. After using the machine for a couple of weeks, I understand the problems, but do not find them to be of much concern. This machine is not as intuitive as some AT&T products I've used before, but unless you do something wrong, it is very dependable. I would echo the complaint that the LCD is not backlit, and as I said it is less than intuitive, but overall, it's a great deal.

Summary: Excellant product with one draw back.
Review: It has very good sound, easy to understand instructions, works as expected except I have hooked it to a two line telephone and can only use one line while hooked up through this answereing machine.
