Summary: Best Phone I've Ever Had
Review: The Panasonic KX-TG5110M is simply the best phone we have ever had. Set-up was easy and the phone has crystal clear reception. The handhelds are the right size and comfortable and the functions of the phone are easy to use. I really like being able to store phone number in each of the handhelds and easily copy the phone books to the other handhelds.

Perfect phone system! You will love it.

Summary: Perfect in Every Aspect
Review: It's hard to believe anyone would find fault with this phone.

It's plug and play. You plug a phone line into the base unit and then extensions just go into a wall socket. You plug in your extensions. Once you charge it for 4-5 hours, all you have to do is 'assign' a 2-6 number to the extension and THAT'S IT! (In the set here, you don't even have to do that! It's mart enough to realize the 2nd phone is phone #2). Everything just works.

The screen is bright and clear and the OS is pretty strightforward, you don't even to really read the instructions, the arrows toggle you up & down to subchoices like last 20 calls, phone book, etc ... You can access the voicemail from ANY phone, speakerphone easy as pie to activate and you can transfer calls, AND page the other extension (and use it as a walktie-talkie). Brilliant!

Again, hard to believe ANYONE would find fault with this phone. It's not the lightest phone but it's solidly built and the sound is great ...

For the WiFi/wireless geeks, you have to get a 5.8 Ghz phone so it doesn't interfere with your wireless setup - and both networks work perfectly. So, I'm not sure if they live under a power line but for everyone else, reception is fantastic!

This is exactly what electronics are supposed to be. YOu plug it in. It works for YEARS on end with no problems and no having to dig through a manual to figure out what's what.

I researched through all the available phones and this is the best of the 5.8Ghz via specs and now in using it, it's perfect!

Summary: Excellent phone system
Review: I have had this phone system for 2wks now. We have a phone on each level of our 3 level home. With the base unit on the second level, there is more than enough signal to have awesome fidelity without using the signal boost feature.

I would strongly recommend this phone system.

Summary: Audiophile's phone?
Review: After our old 900Mhz phone died, we went through a number of phones, both 900Mhz and 2.4Ghz, with all sounding just terrible. With so many bad sounding phones, I was looking for one that an audiophile would love -- other features are much less important. After reading the reviews of this model we gave it a go, and it hasn't disappointed.

I'm not an audiophile, but the sound quality was really my number one concern. I just hate a lot of interference and the tinny sound that many (most) cordless phones have. This one sounds as good as a good corded phone. It is absolutely clear and clean. Even the speaker phone on the handsets has great sound.

Others mention the handset is too big and hefty, but I like it. It feels like it is a quality piece, not cheap and plasticy. I think this is a subjective item -- you may want to get your hands on one to judge for yourself.

The system has a great feature set that works nicely for our family, with the 3 mailboxes and so forth. It's great to have the two handsets, with options for more. I think this will be a phone system that can grow with us and be useful for many years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best on the market
Review: This is the best product of this type (multihandset) on the market. It does have few cons.: battery life is not more than 3-4 days, with moderate use of phone. Also phone book could be bigger (it stores only 50 phone numbers).
Other than that I love the phone(s), sound is exceptional, ring choices are good.
I would definitely recommend this unit.

Summary: Worried by Reviews, Buying the Phone Anyway
Review: I've always had good luck with Panasonic cordless phones, until I bought a 900Mhz KX-TC1891B. Now this phone is dropping out 4-5 seconds at a time, failing to ring when called, and otherwise acting erratic. I'll buy a KX-TG5110M, but Panasonic better get it right this time.

A few reservations about this phone going in:

1) Lack of a 2-line 5.8 GHz model. Almost a deal killer for me. I have not bought a single line phone in many years. If it were not for 802.11b/g network issues, I would simply wait for a better phone than this model to come along.

2) I have a $20 corded no-name phone that syncs clock & date with the phone company anytime the phone rings. $$$ Panasonic phones don't do this. Add feature bloat, complexity, and everytime there is a hiccup on the AC power line, you have to dig out the manual for directions to reprogram the clock. After a while, it is simply too much hassle and I blow it off, resulting in bad info logged with Caller ID missed calls, etc. If the date and time can't be captured off the telco, then at least the base station should have a 9V battery backup like a cheap alarm clock. It seems dumb to buy a big clunky UPS power supply for a single line phone, but I am almost pushed to the point of doing it.

3) Battery life in my KX-TC1891B stinks. Forget to charge the handset every night, and it will not make it through the next day. I hope the KX-TG5110M is better. I wish the base station would keep a spare battery pack charged and available. That's human-engineering reality.

On a positive note, I am excited about the speaker phone feature on handsets of this phone, and good reviews of this feature on the Amazon website. After the first tech support call waiting on hold for 20 minutes, I doubt I will ever be able to live without this capability on any future phone.

Summary: A lot better than the Siemens phones
Review: My friend has 8 Siemens cordless phones at home and another friend of mine had Siemens cordless phones in his factory, he's since switched to Panasonic and had no more problems. I get a lot less noise/interferance on my Panasonics, and my range is a lot farther than my friend's Siemens. I've got two of these phones and the LCD screen on one died just a couple weeks after I got it, that's sub-par quality from what I'd expect from Panasonic, so I give them 4 stars instead of 5 that I would have. I also didn't see an easy way to auto-redial on a busy signal which is very frustrating, I'll take a look in the manual, but, with something like this you really shouldn't NEED to look at the manual, if you do, it's not ergonomically designed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best I have found, bar none!
Review: I admit I was worried about spending over $200 for a phone/answering machine, but the phone works great.
(A) Range is outstanding (well over 100 yards)
(B) Clear as a bell
(C) Easy to set-up.
I do wish I could eavesdrop on a call from a remote as it was being recorded, but that is my only complaint after 3 months of use.
While the volume at the headset is not loud, turning on the speaker-phone function removes any problem with poor hearing.
Overall. I could not be more pleased with this purchase, and have highly recommended this phone to friends and family.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good phone system
Review: This phone does all that it advertises: good range, clear sound, simple ergonomics, intuitive operations. In addition, it does not interfere with 802.11b wireless home networks, a definate plus.

Only gripe is the volume; it starts off low with a tinny sound for just a second (first word spoken), then goes to good normal volume...very strange....

Overall, the gripe is minor; buy the phone, it does everything well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best phone I have ever owned
Review: I have had this phone for a couple of months now and I continue to be impressed with the range and the quality of the phone. I can walk all over my 3 acres and not lose the signal. I can also take the handset out into my shop (about 20 feet away from the house) and not lose signal. This phone is feature rich and user friendly as well. I can't find anything to complain about.
