Summary: Great Answering Machine
Review: Ok, I had voicemail through my phone company and decided I was paying too much. I made my decision to purchase this answering machine based upon the look of it and the 2 other reviews. I literally had it up and running in 5 minutes! It has all of the features I was looking for and more!

Summary: Beauty is only skin deep
Review: Ok..so my husband bought this thing because I have the cute little blue swatch phone that goes with it. We unpacked this thing and I tried to set it up. Let me just say, I am a software engineer and I couldn't get this darned thing to work. I tried EVERYTHING. It is supposed to be easy. It looks easy. It even sounds easy (when you can decipher what the automated voice is saying to you) but the darned thing wouldn't record messages. I tried several lines and even brought the thing into my office to try there. No luck. SO...if you buy this, beware. The one you get might not work. I suspect I got a bum one, but I was pretty disgruntled with it and its tech staff.

Summary: Decent, but has a few flaws
Review: On the positive side, you can set this up for either a 1 or 2-minute record time per call. It does have a nifty female voice with a british accent. On the negative side, I don't like the fact that it thanks each caller for their call AFTER they have hung up. What's up with THAT? And the rotary volume control is already defective after only having it a few months. All in all, not too bad, but just watch out for defects that pop up shortly after using it.

Summary: Looks Great but Does it work?
Review: This answering machine has two great advantages over alot of other ones: it is cute and it is small. Unfortunately the good news ends there. Answering machines have to do two things: record messages and play them back. This one does record messages and it does play them back -- at least I think that is what it recorded. The sound quality is so bad the messages are almost impossible to decipher. After 6 months of wanting to rip it from the wall, I finally did just that and tossed it in the garbage. I replaced it with an AT&T version and I couldn't be happier. If it is cute you want, cut out the picture and hang it over your phone. It'll work about as well as the real item.

Summary: This machine has saved my life!
Review: This is a wonderful answering machine! I cannot believe the crispness and clarity of the messages! When I first tried I thought,"Please, don't be like my first FIVE! But all my doubts cleared up before I heard my first message. Believe me, if they had a 10-star max it would still be jammed way up at the top next to my car and my refrigerator!

Summary: Blue Bean Suits Me Just Fine
Review: This is my second answering machine. The first one I had for 15 years and I hated it. It was so complex and tedious to operate, I thought they were all like that. So I was very skeptical and hesitant about getting a new one and looked for a long time. Then I saw the BLUE BEAN, read the operating descriptions and reviews and dared to order it. I LOVE IT! Not only is it easy to program but once it's set up the rest of the family can operate it without too much instruction. I can tell at a glance (when I come in the house with my arms full of groceries) whether there are any calls, and how many there are. The one-touch replay is great and the ability to delete an unwanted call with one touch as it plays,is a real convenience. And with an easy name like the BLUE BEAN I can remember the name to tell my friends. I'm sold!

Summary: It records hang-ups
Review: This is the only answering machine that I've ever owned that records hang-ups. On an average day, I get several hang-ups (probably from telemarketers), so it's absolutely necessary that an answering maching be able to tell when the caller has hung-up and NOT record the "message" (i.e. the long silence and then the dial-tone). Otherwise, it's not a bad product.

Summary: Total Waste of Money.
Review: Wish I had a zero star option.
I got the first one shipped and the battery compartment
screw had a blunt head. Returned it for a new one.
Volume control know kept having loose contact and would
break the voice, and had to keep jiggling it.
Finally, after 3 months, One day, went dead. No CPR
nothing would help. I thought I should give a newbie
a try. I am going back to panasonic and the sony's. I know
they may have issues, or a hickup here and there. But to
go totally dead on you. I am amazed Amazon carries this Piece of S***.
Save yourself the trouble. Ditch it. Sun
