This particular telephone is almost an exact copy of the one that I purchased 15 years ago. These days it is impossible to find it in the common electronic stores. It is the phone that is used in emergencies when we lose power which happenes almost twice a month these days. It has the speakerphone feature which is very useful for being put on hold for long periods of time. I would highly recommend it.
Nice well designed phone. Very easy to program. Takes 3 AA batteries for memory presets. I purchased two of these phones, one for my grandparents who promptly dropped the phone on the kitchen floor ejecting the batteries thereby erasing all the pre-programmed numbers that I had entered. Battery cover needs to be taped down to prevent this, as battery cover does not close well (Panasonic could have designed a better battery cover into this phone as they have with other models).
Phone has nicely sized buttons, loud ringer and well functioning speakerphone feature as well as a headset jack. Receiver cord is a bit short but can easily be replaced with a longer one. Will review again as the phones age.
