This is an additional phone. We already had one upstairs. It's not fancy, but does the job perfectly well.
I purchased this phone for two features: 1. I needed a phone for the kitchen that could be used without having to pick up handset.I am not happy with the performance of the speakerphone. It hangs flat on the wall and 2. it has speakerphone. The speaker part is fine - I can hear the caller relatively clearly, but the microphone picks up a lot of noise and muffles my voice. It very difficult to carry a conversation on the speakerphone, so I almost always have to pick up the handset.
Just got it - love it for what it does - BUT - there is no MUTE button - which is a sin for a speaker phone.
The Panasonic KX-TSC14W provides the basic functionality i require, which is 2 lines and speakers. Set up is straight forward. I found the display difficult to read especially when the phone is lying flat, which I assume is the primary position. On speaker mode I have been told that my voice is not being amplified as well as required.
I only use one of the 2 lines but if I ever wanted another line, my phone would be ready. I replaced my old Panasonic phone - exactly same model - and this one is even improved. I would buy this same exact model again. The ringer sounds better - not as harsh sounding. I had my old phone for 7 years and it clunked out on me but for $50+, that's not a bad deal. I turn the ringer off at night and back on in the morning and it is so easy to do. I am very happy with this phone.
