Summary: awesome, full-featured phone
Review: (also read the reviews for kx-tg5110m which is the same phone with a second handset in the box.)i am extremely satisfied with this phone. it does not interfere with my 802.11b network which i have set to channel 6. the 2.4GHz phones kill the network. this phone has almost every feature imaginable as has been described in the other reviews. there's only one major feature that is left out: you can't move or copy a message from one mailbox to another. this would be nice if a message got left in the main mailbox but i wanted to move it to my wife's mailbox and turn her "new message" indicator on. the sound quality is excellent. i highly recommend this phone. don't forget to buy additional handsets because the inter-handset features (like intercom) are very cool.

Summary: Volume is fine, design is slightly flawed
Review: After reading many, many reviews on phones I decided to purchase the Panasonic KX-TG5100M and two additional handsets. I too thought that the volume was low, then realized that the earpiece on the phone is placed very high on the handset. Once I repositioned the handset on my ear, the volume was perfect. Unfortunately, positioning the phone so that the earpiece is where it should be by design is a little awkward; the top of the phone sits very low on the ear (unlike most phones, which cover the ear almost entirely). If you are one who has a habit of holding phones between your ear and your shoulder to get both hands free, this phone will slip out incessantly. As for interference with other devices, most devices operate on the following frequencies: 900 MHz: Baby monitors and 900 MHz phones.
2.4 GHz: 2.4 GHz phones, 802.11B and 802.11G broadband wireless routers.
5.8 GHz: 5.8 GHz phones and 802.11A broadband wireless routers. Unless you have an 802.11A broadband wireless router, this phone should NOT knock out your signal, especially since it runs on the 5.8 GHz band in both directions. I have a wireless G router and have had no problems with it whatsoever. Some last quick notes: the handset speakerphone is exceptional, and the phones look great (although I'm hoping that they hold up better than the 2.4 GHz Panasonic phone that I had whose earpiece began to show a ton of wear from my wife's earrings). And as this phone has gotten much cheaper than when it was initially released, it is a great buy.

Summary: Hello Hello R U there?
Review: Bought this system to update existing Panasonic phone. Found instructions easy to read. Phone prompts, altough at first intimidating, is quite easy to manage. Styling works well for me. HOWEVER, The volume is POOR at best even with the feature volume booster in ON mode..Now, I know why Panasonic added the phone booster. Consider carefully! Bobby

Summary: great phone system - 1 small flaw
Review: everything on this phone system is fantastic. I had initial bought the similar 5.8ghz Uniden system but returned it to get this one. Much better.
I just find it hard to believe that a product of this quality and price comes with Ni Cad batteries. Surely Panasonic could use NiMH or Lithium Ion battery.
Still very worth it and I have just ordered a third handset.

Summary: It's Simply The Best Phone On The Market!
Review: I bought and tried three different 5.8GHZ phones available on the market... Uniden, VTech, and the Panasonic. The following is what I found: Uniden
The Uniden looks good, but only performs decently. The handset is a bit big and clunky, and fairly heavy too. The worse feature of the phone is the ear piece. It sounds very tinny and not really that impressive for a phone of this quality and price. It's like talking to someone with a tin can up to your ear... all treble and no bass... doesn't sound natural. Probably the worse sounding ear piece I've ever heard on a phone. VTech
First of all, it doesn't truly utilize 5.8GHZ technology... it's 2.4 one way and 5.8 the other... so this still can cause problems with outside interference and computer networks. The phone performs fairly well, but there was nothing that special about it's performance or features. A 2.4GHZ phone for more than $50 less would perform the same. Panasonic
WOW! BY FAR THE BEST PHONE ON THE MARKET. I honestly found no flaws with this phone. Great range (further than the other two), never experienced static once, great sound and clarity from the ear piece, really nice answering machine and caller id features, very clear displays,.. the lists goes on. Just an all around great phone. I'm glad I tested them all out to see what was the best bang for my buck... the Panasonic 5.8GHZ phone blows the other 5.8ghz phones out of the water... it's not even close. If I hadn't tried them all, I may have been satisified with the other 2, but having tried the Panasonic, I wouldn't even consider the Uniden or VTech phones... they are mediocre in comparison to the Pansonic... yet cost the same price. Go with the Panasonic... I love it. Best phone I've ever owned.

Summary: defects
Review: I bought the base station and two handsets -- they worked great for less than a year ... now the batteries go dead after less than an hour of use, or lose contact with the base station from the next room. Very disappointing for the amount of money paid.

Summary: Very dissapointed
Review: I bought this phone right when it came out (one base station and a second handset). Within a few weeks, the phone LCD when bad. It completely stopped working. So I contacted Panasonic's support to get it replaced. What a hassle!! I have to pay to ship the phone back for them to repair it! Just terrible. When my phone is finally returned, the LCD goes out again within the week. Needless to say I am very dissapointed at this point. So I call their support and complain. This time they send me a shipping label so I don't have to pay for it again. Well, after waiting two weeks, I had to call them again to remind them to send me the label - which they did that time. Well, now my phone has been gone for over a month with no word from Panasonic. I am waiting on the phone (about 45 minutes now) as I type this to speak with someone about the status of my phone. Panasonic generally makes good products. But if you run into a problem, you are basicaly screwed.

Summary: Worked great for two weeks then died
Review: I got the two handset model KX-TG5110m. It worked great for two weeks. Then came the fatal "System Error #9" all the lights on the base flash like a Christmas tree. I called Panasonic customer service the hold time was 12 minutes. The guy told me the phone was done for. He said it could have been a power serge, I do have the phone plugged into a good serge protector. Oh well, I can't seem to find a phone with better features, so I will exchange it for new one and give it another try.

Summary: Almost Perfect
Review: I had the KX-TG2740S before I purchased this phone and I was not happy with it (see my review there), primarily because of the interference with other 2.4 GHz devices.
The KX-TG5100M has been a perfect replacement so far. I have no more, or very little, interference with the 2.4 GHz wireless video receiver and no noticeable problems with the wireless LAN. The video receiver and the access point are both in the same room as the base station. I have 4 handsets and love the room monitor, the intercom and other features. I can plug in a headset and go outside to mow the lawn while my 2 year-old takes his nap, something I was never able to do with a regular baby monitor.
The range is great - I still get good reception in my neighbor's garage down the street, a good 300 feet away.
I did not experience any of the battery problems that other reviewers describe, with either system.
Overall, I think this is a very good phone - if you don't have 2 phone lines.

Summary: Poor Battery Life
Review: I had the same problem as another reviewer. After less than a year the handset batteries will not hold a charge. If it wasn't for the expected yearly battery expense ($10 each), I would have rated this a 5-star phone system. I have four phones purchesed within a few months and all of them, one-by-one ended up with the same problem. I bought new batteries and hope not to, but I expect to have to replace them again in 8-12 months.
