inadequate headset volume
Head set volume is inadequate when used with panasonic headset. Same headset with other phone seemed okay.

Excelente Equipo
Este equipo telefonico era lo que yo necesitaba en mi hogar, un apartamento en un cuarto piso y que salgo al parqueo con frecuencia. Su uso es sencillo y no se crean interferencias en las llamadas. Es un excelente equipo.

Great home office phone
As the title suggests, I purchased this phone for my home office. Overall, I am very satisfied with it. However, there are two negatives. First, there's no voice mail indicator light on the base. Secondly, the voice mail indicator that is on the handset is only visible if the top end of the phone is pointing towards you. They should have made the indicator larger and wrapped it up and over the top edge of the phone. Other than those two minor issues I highly recommend this phone.

Drops calls
This phone drops calls. I read the reviews of the Bluetooth version that said it dropped calls, so I bought the non-bluetooth version, and it drops calls as well. Going back to my KX-TG5432.

Good phone but probelm with extension phone bases and power supplies

Let me say first that I like this phone and have using it for a year with no problems. The quality of the reception is good with no static. I have no complaints about anything except the design of the extension phone base units. So overall I give it 5 stars, but the following problem is a nuisance and even though everything works fine now, it is not up to Panasonic standards. It was made in Malaysia. I'm not sure if that matters?

This is the first Panasonic product that I have had any problem with after 15-20 years of owning many different products.

The problem is that the adapter that plugs into the wall has a poorly designed connector that plugs into the base unit. This is the base unit that holds the extension phones, there are 3 total. I have to push it in and wiggle it around frequently to get them to start charging again. Or the angle of the phone in the holder has to be adjusted with masking tape to get the connection to be right. So it ends up sitting at an angle.

The 3 base units failed slowly over the last year, but after talking with Panasonic and figuring out the problem they are working fine now.

When I called Panasonic they wouldn't admit that it was a poor design and just one replacement, there are 3 total costs if not under warrantee.

pretty good one!
Pros:
1)I have been using a GE set for past couple of years, which works fine but battery life has gone down tremendously and as some reviewers mentioned these batteries cost a lot (>50% of full set price) so having AAA replaceable batteries is definitely a big plus.
2)Other really great thing about this handset is that the speaker phone is very powerful, I can type on my laptop and have this phone by my side and the person on the other side cannot tell that I am using the speaker phone. most of the time I just use speaker instead of holding the phone.
3)Very easy to use answering machine. My older phone was terrible in this regard.

Cons: 1)headset jack is not there 2)one annoying thing is that when I am on speakers and would like to switch back to regular mode, I kept pressing the 'speaker' button again and again but it doesnt work that way you need to press 'talk' button instead... minor issue its just not intuitive.

Overall - will buy again! :)

Best cordless set I have owned
I've used this system for more than 18 months and it has performed flawlessly. I've had no difficulty establishing and maintaining clear connections up to 150 feet, I haven't tried from a greater distance. Battery life between charges has been much better than previous cordless sets. The batteries are Ni-Mh AAA which means replacements will be easy to find locally at reasonable prices, my previous cordless models all required proprietary batteries. The extra charging base has made it very convenient to keep at least one handset fully charged at all times. The only feature I miss from former models is a counter for incoming messages.

Does not work
Used it for 4 months and it doesnt work anymore - no sound is transmitted at all. Did its job while it lasted!

Bye-Bye KX-TGA1 series
I have found the KX-TGA expandable DECT 6.0 series is an excellent product, once I determined that dialing a phone card number, followed by a phone card pin, followed by a phone number - all from the phone book require the use of the OK button and NOT the TALK button.

Be aware Panasonic is replacing this series with the new KX-TG63 series.
The big box chain American Furniture & Electronics closed out the KX-TGA expandable DECT 6.0 series on Black Friday at 1/2 price. That is for answering machine and 2 handsets.
