Reviews of Panasonic KXTC1401 900 MHz Big Button Cordless Phone (Black)

1.) Great phone

This is your best bet in a cheap cordless phone. Excellent clarity and sound, with good features like ringer volume and three caller volume settings. Panasonic makes great analog cordless phones. These sound far better than any 25channel models and are *far* less prone to static and sloppy connections. Note that the numbers are not backlit on this model. Also, like all 900mhz. analogs, it does not have digital security (unfortunately, your best bet for security features is a 900mhz DSS, and all of those that I've heard sound awful). Again, though, for an inexpensive phone, this is the one to get.

2.) A good, clear basic cordless telephone

I was looking for a clear, simple and inexpensive cordless telephone and found it with this Panasonic. Consumer Reports rated the telephone very highly. I bought it from Amazon and it has been a delight to use. The reception is very clear. The phone is easy to hold and the buttons are clearly marked. There are fancier products on the market but I have spent a lot more on cordless phones and gotten a lot less quality. I think this phone is a bargain at the price -- if it has the features you want.

3.) Great Phone -- perfect sound and clarity

I've owned two Panasonic phones like this one and they're just great. The sound is always crystal clear, the battery stays charged for a good amount of time, and I can walk pretty far from the base. I live in a city, so getting good clarity from cordless phones can be difficult, but these phones do a great job. The only downside: no headset which would make it perfect.

4.) 4 Stars but only in faith...

I've had this phone twice and the first time I owned this phone, there were 2 problems: First, your voice is hard to hear for people on the other end and Second: The Flash button when changing over to answer call waiting takes much too long. After returning the phone, having assumed that it must have been a defect, I was issued a new phone that had pretty much the same problems though not as severe. On to the positives, with a long lasting battery, this phone comes in handy when you or someone in your household decides that a battery is fine by itself and doesn't have to be recharged (which this one does). Also, with an exceptional range, I find that I can walk outside the house and still receive decent reception which is phenomenal when considering that this is only a 900mhz phone and not one of the new high-powered ones (2 ghz and higher). Though I originally had reservations about this phone, it has turned into a workhorse for me and would suggest it to anybody that is looking for a decent, moderately priced cordless.

5.) Survived a dunking!

My boyfriend has had the Panasonic KX-TC 1401 900 MHz Cordless Phone for a while and I really like it. A few months ago, someone dropped the phone in the toilet on accident. Since it was clean water, he kept it and the phone still works pretty great. It has a long range, he does his laundry two floors down and still talks clearly to me. The only problem is that the sound is beginning to fade but that may happen with any phone that was immersed in a toilet. My old roommate also had a Panasonic as do my parents and I recommend their phones to anyone.

6.) Uncomfortable handset

I bought one of these because I wanted a well made phone. Unfortunately, it was very uncomfortable to hold, and the channel button got in the way when I was talking...my chin kept hitting it and making it beep! I got so frustrated with how ergonomically lousy it was that I returned it and got a Sony. The Sony is fine, by the way.

Panasonic - a name that is synonymous with innovation and quality - leads the revolution in cordless phone technology to provide outstanding performance, convenience, and style. Panasonic's 900 MHz phones utilize Digital Spread Spectrum technology to offer two important benefits for your home or home office: enhanced range and security. These phones transmit over the entire 900 MHz bandwidth, constantly changing frequencies to boost calling range, keep your conversations clear and make them very difficult for outside parties to monitor.Panasonic KX-TC1401 900MHz cordless phone features up to 8-hour talk time, and 30-channel Autoscan. It offers 10-station speed dialer, handset locator, 3-level handset volume control, adjustable ringer.

Extra-clear sound, long battery life, 900 MHz operation, and space- saving dimensions combine to make the Panasonic KX-TC1401 a convenient and easy- to-use cordless phone for any home or office.

Panasonic's Sound Charger Plus technology filters out background noise for an exceptionally clear signal throughout the operating range of this 900 MHz cordless phone. We tested the KX- TC1401's performance and found the signal consistently clear up to a distance of about 75 feet from the base, after which it faded. The battery life is also excellent, with up to 21 days of standby time or eight hours of talk time, following the phone's initial 15-hour battery charge.

With its space-saving dimensions and light weight, the KX-TC1401 easily fits onto any desktop or wall space and is portable. The command and setting buttons, including the ringer and handset volume controls, are conveniently located in the handset.
