Panasonic KXTC1450W Cordless Phone (White)

 (6 customer reviews)

We got this phone as a wedding gift not more that six months ago. After about three months, it began malfunctioning. Sometimes, when the phone rang and you tried to answer it, it would not answer. It would also not charge when you put it back on the base, so the battery would go dead and there was nothing we could do. We tried to contact Panasonic to have it fixed, but we kept getting the customer no-service run around and finally gave up. I recently accidentally dropped the phone off the kitchen counter, and the antenna broke-so it's not too durable either. I came to Amazon.com and purchased the VTech VT 1920c digital cordless phone with caller ID - strangly...the same price as this phone.

The features on this phone are great. I live in a large home and reception was an important issue for me. I have excellent reception in the house and in the backyard. The lighted keypad is also great at night. I have faith in panasonic (vcrs, tvs, camcorders, phones, radios); they have all been very good products.

I have purchased this phone twice now. Panasonic usually makes quality products, but both phones were duds! The antenna bends and therefore the clarity isn't so great.
