Panasonic KX-TG5633B 5.8 GHz Cordless Answering System

Date Published: 9/18/06

This KX-TG5673B is a three-handset system from Panasonic that offers excellent clarity at a reasonable price. Built into the system is a 21-minute digital answering machine that any of the handsets--or even a remote phone--can access. And if you're preoccupied with other tasks, you can activate your handset's speakerphone and listen to messages hands-free.

Incoming calls are indicated by the 50-entry caller ID log (or Talking Caller ID, if you subscribe), and because the handsets utilize the 5.8GHz frequency, you don't have to worry about interfering with Wi-Fi networks. Meanwhile, call clarity and range are both considerably better than industry standards. Other features include: 50-contact phonebook, voice-enhancer technology, intercom and voice mail indicator light. Overall, this is an excellent system for larger households.

Pros: Good clarity and range, Talking Caller ID, three handsets
Cons: None

Warranty
1 year
