Summary: Great product but way too fragile
Review: I really like this product, (I use it with my Siemens 2402 base station). The only complaint about its features is that the menu system is needlessly complex (that actually doesn't bother me too much, but may be a big deal to others). However, the phone is extremely fragile. I've had two of them fail in different ways after just 1.5 years of service. One of them has had a keypad go bad, the other has developed a horrible distortion problem (I know it's the phone since the other handsets in the house don't have that problem).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice system
Review: I used have the same handset and batteries for two years now (handset made in USA).
I spilled coffee on the handset and some buttons became a little insensitive while still usable, but that is my fault. Interference is a problem only when using the microwave. The sound quality is superb under the conditions I require.
The base station location with this and any system is absolutely critical. I had no problems with setup of any kind. The manual is simple, complete and easy to understand.

Summary: Great System
Review: What a wonderful system. The phone is great and the feutures are amazing. I love it when people ask how to use the phone and ask if its a cell. Yes, it is a bit complicated to use, but u'll get the hang on it and enjoy it if u stick yo it.

Summary: Looks are deceiving!
Review: Well, you heard that saying, don't judge a book by it's cover.
DON'T BE LURED IN!! This product has lasted two years ( I wanted to squeeze every cent out of it!) but i had to endure a lot of pain, the system's display only works when pressed hard. You need to shake it, for it to work most times and sometimes it cannot find it's home base......searching.....searching.

Advice- search for a panasonic model!

Summary: Never will buy a Siemens again
Review: I bought the 2-line Siemens 2420 system with 1 handset. I bought two additional refurbished handsets. After 4 months both of them died. To protect my investment I tried buying a new handset and found out nobody carries new handsets anymore, and few places they wanted $ for each.
I am not very pleased with quality of the phones and the phone system. Every 45 days the phone system locks-up and I have to reset the stystem and set it up again (I am becoming expert in that!!).
This would be my last purchase of any Siemens system. They even don't want to repair their own system.

Summary: Clear Sound, Not User-Friendly, Not Durable
Review: Purchased 2 line system with answering system with 5 handsets.

The sound quality of these phones is excellent. I think that some of the issues some people have had with the sound quality has to do with their phone lines and environment. Some of the symptons some of the people have reported here have been fixed by myself by fixing loose phone wires or the like.

If you buy one, upgrade the batteries. The supplied batteries have very short life. The new ones I bought last longer. The place I bought from suggested this.

Be very careful with them. If you drop them they will break very easily. One hanset does not work anymore and another will not charge and will let you talk for only 30 seconds to a minute before shutting off and the display broke on it. I have had many cheaper cordless phones which I have tossed around and dropped many times and still they worked great. For the money they should be more durable.

I am very good with electronics. I build computers and have set up whole home networks with monitoring devices and yet this phone was and is a pain to learn. Even after you figure it out from the manual, its still hard to remember how to do it later. I don't mind investing time into using my computer well, but I just want to use my phone out of the box.

The reason I am on this site now is because I wanted to buy more handsets, but after reading all these reviews I think I will start reading the reviews of other systems. I've been reluctant to switch to another system because of the investment I made into this system. OUCH!

I've had my system for 3 years now . . .

Summary: i hate this system
Review: this is one of the least user friendly phones i have ever seen. mine broke shortly after warranty, now i have to buy a refurbished handset...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Had to give it to Salvation Army
Review: Not good, even when I turned off my wireless LAN. Poorly made and not durable at all. The 2.4G range is too croweded and we live on a half an acre. Siemens dissapoints. Will not buy a 2.4G again. Someone needs to develop a bluetooth that uses a different frequency.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Ambient noise a big problem
Review: We have a siemens system with five handsets. I am worn out by the extent to which ambient noise is picked up by the speaker, when I'm talking to other people. The microphone should be much more focused on the speaker, not on the room. It's completely aggravating, and very disappointing in such an expensive headset.

The menu system for setting up the handset and the transmitter is also annoying, but that's par for the course in these kinds of headsets. I do like the intercom feature and the range is satisfactory, though not stellar.
