Summary: The Worst Battery Life I've Ever Seen
Review: I bought this phone about 6 months ago and I agree with all the users here that this could be a great phone in terms of features, but the battery issues make the phone so impossible to deal with, I'm ready to throw it out the window. As others have mentioned if you leave the phone out of the cradle for even a couple of hours or if you have a long phone call, the batteries immediately die. If you try to charge it, sometimes the phone never charges. You pick it up after 12 hours of charging and the low battery indicator is still on. Gave the same system to my parents, and they have the same problem. Could have been great...

Summary: Mines been fine!!
Review: I can sympathize with the people who have had battery problems, as I had to replace the battery in my KX-TG2730S base unit not to long after I bought it.I have had one of the KX-TGA270S extensions since last year and haven't had a problem with it. I'm going to be ordering 2 more. The only gripe I have about these phones is that I'm not crazy about the cheap looking silver paint (I don't like the white either), and I wish the directories were one button accessible.

Summary: What Did We Do Without This?
Review: I can't share enough of the positive things about this phone system. My husband and I are so pleased with it. Our favorite feature is the intercom system, which has been a lung-saver in our house --allowing us to just call each other rather than roam around the house and holler. I find other comments about battery life unfounded, and wonder if these individuals had the phone on "booster" -- which, if you read the manual, will improve your signal but drain the battery quickly. I have yet to experience the need to put the phone on booster (and we live in a rural area), and have not had a battery run dead while talking. I usually recharge the phones every 2-3 days. I also like the fact that the handset comes with a speaker phone. A great feature when trying to manage the kids, dinner and talk. The ringer selections are great too -- providing a wide variety. (Finally a phone that doesn't jolt you out of a deep sleep!) Program your phone numbers in one phone and press just a couple buttons to transfer that directory to another. No more searching for the address book! Reception has been flawless. Operation and programing easy, easy, easy. This one is a must buy!

Summary: Battery problems
Review: I have both the base phone and the KX-TGA270S unit, both purchased new within the last 4 months. I have had problems with both handsets when they were installed in the 270S charging unit. During several calls the battery has completely discharged causing the line to go dead. Other than this, I think this is an excellent phone.

Summary: I don't understand how some of you don't have problems
Review: I have five of these phones and a base unit. Without exception, each unit's battery gave problems within a few months. (And I did charge each of them 15 uninterrupted hours when starting and whenever they requested it.) Now some won't light at all. On some the battery only goes up to 1 out of 3 bars. On others, it starts at 3 bars but drops to one bar about as quickly as you can get it to your ear. If someone has a solution, please hint at it here.

Summary: AWFUL. BATTERY LIFE MAKES IT UNUSABLE.
Review: I have had this phone for almost a year, and am about to throw it away - the battery lasts for about half an hour, and then dies. Others have complained about this too, and yet panasonic has done nothing? Unacceptable. And to make matters worse, I have, in the middle of a conference call, placed the handset (with a self-declared, imminently-failing battery), on the charger in hopes that it would charge while the conference call was ongoing. It hung up. GRRRRRRR! This is not what technology should be about. Instead of adding frustration, it should enable. This system is a great big GOOSE-EGG. DO NOT BUY IT.

Summary: Best Panasonic Yet
Review: I have owned several previous Panasonic's before, and this one is by far the best yet. The user interface is more intuitive, the sound quality is great, and after about a year I have yet to drop a call. As for the battery, I have not timed the battery life, but have had no problems on any of my 3 extensions. I have had absoultley no reliability problems. I especially appreciate the ease in copying the phone number list between the different extensions.

Summary: Battery life stinks!
Review: I have three of these phones including the base unit and guess what? The battery life on all three lasts a maximum of 30 minutes. I have called Panasonic and they are aware of this defect, yet have not recalled the phones. I was told to send them in to their service center for repair. According to the rep the defect is in the handset battery contact with the charger. To all you would be purchasers of this product, perhaps Panasonic has remedied the problem. But if they have not then BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Summary: So many features
Review: I have to agree that the battery life leaves a little more to be desired. I bought the system, with 5 extra handsets, and I found myself switching handsets mid-conversation. I did charge for 15 hrs b4, and no luck. I bought all new batteries at a battery store, and have had great great working time since. The phones, wow, intercom, monitor, pager, and it works with the booster feature to the corner of the street. They also work as 2 way radios away from the base. I am sold on the product, Loved it since replacing the battery.

Summary: Panasonic Model KX-TGA270S Cordless Phone Handset
Review: I have used many brands of cordless telephones and find the Panasonic Model KX-TGA2700 Expandable base and the Panasonic Model KX-TGA270S Cordless Phone Handset to be very good. I have not experienced any of the problems that Mr. Naduwilage has encountered, although I have not tried the headset feature.
Overall, I have find the performance to be excellent, the features convenient and the price acceptable. I am ordering another handset today.
