Panasonic KX-TGC223EB DECT Cordless Phone with Answering Machine, 1.6 inch Easy-to-Read Backlit Display, Nuisance Call Blocker, Hands-Free Speakerphone, ECO Mode – Black, Trio Handset Pack

Good value, good looking, practical, and an easy installation.
My friends chose this set as it was the updated version of the old Panasonic set they already had. The units were easy to set up, only requiring two rechargeable batteries to be placed in each handset (supplied). For best effect they did need charging before use, so I set these up to charge before replacing the others. My prime concern was that the ringer volume should be loud and the handset ear piece volume likewise. After some basic menu navigation that is common to these types of telephones, the ringers and volume were set to max. As one user found the earpiece volume still too low, I pointed out they could use the hands free speaker phone facility. This worked brilliantly. The answer phone on this set cuts in too quickly for them to get to it, so this was disabled for now. It is a useful tool for them if they have someone there to help, otherwise it was surplus to needs.The buttons are about average size for this style of phone, and possibly a little too close for one of my friends who has chunky fingers. But the preset dial system makes this easier.Over a big three bedroom house, with the base station positioned centrally, and the other two phones at the further edges, reception has been good. Neither have had and issues with reading the screen.Connecting the basestation to the household network was easy and utilised a standard BT phone jack. It should be noted that a 240v mains outlet needs to be relatively close to the base station or an extension lead will be needed. The other, outlying handsets, just need to be plugged into the mains.Setting up one handset with the speed dial numbers automatically transferred them to the other handsets. The process of adding the numbers I did for them as it does involve use of menus and repeated actions that may be awkward for some older or those less familiar with this tech.All in all, a good set of phones that are easily set up with a modicum of patience and a short amount of input. For those with less agile or larger fingers, this would not be my first choice and I would suggest a set of phones with larger and more spaced buttons than this. But you makes your choice and pays your money.

Works almost straight out of the box.
Having had several trouble free years use of a earlier version myself, I bought this for an elderly person to replace her old phones that were becoming unreliable.The individual items were well packed in the box and in A1 condition. The phones were setup in rooms all situated on ground level with the furthest around 11 metres from the base unit. Setup for the 3 phones and bases, including adding numbers to the internal phone book and adjusting the volume to suit, took me around 20 minutes. Overall an easy installation with relatively little need to delve too deeply into the instruction booklet.In use the screen was clear and the handset and main base unit buttons were easy to identify and use. As she will only use the basic functions of the phone I can’t comment on the extra functionality but it’s more than adequate for its intended use.My only niggle would be that the base units for the 2 slave phones are very light, even with their respective handsets in place and would benefit from being a little heavier or having a ‘grippier’ base. This would make it less easy for someone with poor dexterity to knock them off a smooth surface when attempting to lift out the handset. It’s an easy DIY fix to overcome but it’s something the manufacturer could build in that would help.All in all a good buy.
