Panasonic DECT 6.0-Series 3-Handset Cordless Phone System with Answering System (KX-TG1033S) Best Quality

I purchased this phone for my Mom who seems to have a way of killing cordless phones. Up until the Panasonic, the average life span for a cordless phone in her house was about 9 months. So far, with more than one year of use under her belt, she's still very pleased with how this phone works.

I'm especially fond of how easy it is to program numbers into the directory, since that task always falls to me. Very straightforward, and the directory makes speed dialing much easier for her.

Excellent sound quality and range. No interference from things such as microwaves, which was a problem with past phones.

My only quibbles are that after you program a number into one handset, you have to remember to transmit it to the others. It would be nice if it did that automatically. Also, the keys do not have back lighting, which can make it difficult to dial in low light conditions. But, the directory on the screen is very easy to see in any light, so there's a lesser need for a keypad light.

The batteries are easily replaceable at a low cost (standard AA rechargeable). Haven't had the need to do so yet, but it's nice to see that, unlike other phones, that the replacement batteries don't cost as much as the phone!
