Customer Review: Just a few clarifications
Summary: 4 Stars
I just wanted to add to the plethora of reviews out there on this product and those very similar to it, e.g., 2 handsets, 3 handsets, etc.
I found this through ConsumerSearch.com's reviews and then examined the reviews here on Amazon. Their analysis is top notch, but there were a few things I was worried about scouring through reviews:
1. I read on one of the reviews that the recharge light when handsets were at their base were really bright, but this is not the case. It can easily charge at night next to your bed without it bothering you.
2. I was worried about answer machine's cons, namely that it only blinks when there are new messages, and not stay on when there are still messages on the machine. This is a little annoying, so you will have to check messages and remind family members that they have messages, otherwise, they might miss something important. It also doesn't show the number of messages still recorded unless you look at the the messages via the handsets. This is a minor issue, but something to note if you share your phone with a lot of people.
3. Battery life. There were several complaints about batteries running out very soon after receiving the phone set. I attribute this mainly to poor user knowledge, stupid technology, and small batteries. Firstly, most people are still somehow used to their old corded phones so they like to put their wireless handsets back on the charger all the time. This reduces battery life, so you should always charge when the battery is low. The phone actually tells you when to do it, but I'd expect people to be worried when it's on 1 of 3 bars for a while; no one wants to be on an important call and run out of batteries. With the sophistication of technology nowadays, I really don't understand why the chargers just can't be smarter and not charge unless the batteries are low. This would offset the lack of user knowledge. Lastly, what I think the MAIN issue is, is that the batteries are 2 AAA NiMH batteries. When I bought this phone, it was because my old Panasonic phone's Lithium batteries died out (after like 10 years of use). Changing those batteries would have been more expensive than getting a new phone, and I figure since technology should've improved a lot in 10 years, I'd get a new one. Turns out battery technology is around the same, and since these are AAAs, they don't hold as much as even AAs. This is probably because the market for home phone sets is so low now because most people just use mobile phones. I think I should be able to change to the Low Self-Discharge ("LSD") "Hybrid" batteries like Sanyo's Eneloop, but have yet to try it. Sanyo Eneloop AAA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries (4 Pack) And I'm not sure if the phone will be able to charge them by itself or I'd have to swap out. It still might be worth it if the batteries last long enough and people don't forget to NOT put it on the charger (in the case if the charger isn't compatible with the LSD batteries).
Ultimately, still a good phone, and hopefully I can swap in other/new batteries in the handsets so that I don't have to constantly check for remaining battery life and worry about long important calls with low batteries.
Best of luck and Happy Shopping!
