4 out of 5 stars Great for the price; otherwise, well... just okay   September 8, 2008

Works quite satisfactorily -- just your good garden-variety bare-bones phone machine. Three minor quibbles: Though you don't see it turned on in the photo, the oval window in the center glows bright red when the machine is plugged in, and it's huge and even a bit glaring. Good for someone with a sight problem, no doubt, since you can see across the room whether it's a steady red or blinking on and off (to signal a message), but for the rest of us... it's obtrusive, and virtually as large as a night light. Second, the sound is -- no surprise -- only fair: better than on a cheap machine I once owned, where you could barely make out the messages... but muddy and certainly not crisp. Finally -- and this may matter to no one but me -- I don't think there's a way to turn down the speaker's sound to utter silence. (When I sleep, I like to switch off the ringer on my telephone and to turn the volume all the way down on a phone machine, so that any incoming calls won't wake me but will be recorded and waiting for me in the morning. With this machine, even when it's turned to lowest volume, I can still hear the speaker when the machine picks up a call -- my voice in greeting, the caller's voice leaving a message -- so that if I'm not sleeping soundly, it'll wake me.)

Simple to set up and works great and at this price better than paying for voice mail at phone company.

Just your basic answering machine. Very simple and easy to use and a good value. I bought 10 recently for my employer. They last for years, there's no battery and no maintenance. Never had a failure or a DOA.

The settings are intuitive and you don't need the manual to use it. I pair them with low cost commodity cordless phones. Initial total cost is comparable to expensive phones with built-in answering machines, but answering machines last longer; cordless phones die after a few years, and models change every few months. Replacement phone batteries cost as much as a cheap phone, assuming you can even find one that fits. If you do, it has probably been on the shelf for years and is as useless as the original. The only downside is an extra wall wart and another cord to trip over.



1 out of 5 stars didn't last long   March 28, 2008

I had this for a very short time and it quit working one day. Would not waste money on another.
