Panasonic KX-TG2217S Cordless Telephone

Summary: Piece of junk
Review: Although all my friends and relatives swear by Panasonic phones, this particular model is a piece of junk. I had to return the first one I purchased because it refused to store a charge (I could only use it for one phone call and then it was dead). The second one has the same problem (unfortunately, I moved to another state and haven't been able to return it!). It now does not charge period. My one year old daughter is using it as a toy. I do believe that it is only this particular model, not Panasonic phones in general, though.

Summary: Poor Battery Life
Review: I have the same problem as all the other reviewers. At first I thought I was turning on the phone when I was putting it down, and coming back to find it almost dead. After more careful observation, I found out the battery goes from 3 bars (full) to dead within a matter of minutes. I follow all the procedures for recharging NiCd- even letting the battery go completely dead between recharges. The phone is now just under a year old, and I was thinking about getting a new battery, but I don't think so after reading the other reviews. I'm very dissapointed.

Summary: I haven't had problems with this phone!
Review: I love it, I did replace the original battery with the Energizer er-p511 which does have twice the talk time, but the original battery did not die on me the way the other reviewers said, it took a while to die and when I went battery shopping, this one was suggested and it is great! It made a great phone even better!

Summary: THE WORST PHONE EVER!
Review: If I could rate this with zero stars, I would. This phone cannot hold a charge for more than 45 min. This is by far the worst cordless phone I have ever experienced - I would rather be tethered to a rotary dial phone with a 2 foot cord than continue on with this phone. I agree with all of the other reviewers - JUNK!

Summary: Battery dead already????
Review: Like all the other reviews I have just read about this phone I have experienced a very short battery life. I have had this phone for about a year now and I spent a lot of money buying batteries to replace the original but that didn't help at all. The display on the phone shows the battery as full but after 2 minutes the phone beeps and I have to switch phone. Terrible.

Summary: Very disappointing -- do not recommend
Review: The features are great. Unfortunately, this is the worst cordless phone I've ever had in terms of battery talk-time. I had to move it out of my home office and into the spare guestroom. It's useless anywhere else. I do not recommend it.

Summary: Very poor talk time - less than 45 minutes on full charge
Review: This phone has very poor talk time on full charge, less than 45 minutes after 24 hour charge. I am taking this back.
