Packed with features, the Panasonic KX-TG521M is one of the best cordless systems on the market.

Two handsets are included in the box, one that sits in the central base station and another that uses its own charging cradle. Each handset also has its own speakerphone (the base station also has one), which is very handy when checking voice mail or when you need your hands during calls.

One unique feature is that this 5.8GHz system is caller IQ compatible. This means that you can receive news, weather reports, and other information over each handset's backlit LCD. More important, though, is that the handsets have good NiMH batteries and excellent reception, delivering crisp, clear calls that do not experience interference from Wi-Fi networks.

Other features include three-way conferencing, a 50-entry caller ID log, a 15-minute digital answering machine, a message-waiting light on each handset's antenna, and handset-to-handset intercoms.

With the ability to expand the system to accommodate up to four handsets, the Panasonic KX-TG521M is a great buy for larger homes.
