Product ReviewsPanasonic KX-TGM420W Cordless Phone with Digital Answering Machine - White/Red

Perfect, but white

I would have given it 5 stars if it were black instead of white. The black version connects to a cell phone, and cost slightly more. I did not want the cell phone feature because I live in a cell phone "dead zone."
I bought this to replace an earlier version of the same thing. The features on this phone excellent, and designed to help people who are vision and hearing impaired. I do not believe you can find find a better phone with comparable features, and the Panasonic brand is one that I have respected for many years. Keeping it clean and white is the only downside to this phone.Read full review...

Poor sound quality

The quality of the sound coming from the ear piece is very poor. I chose this phone because it had a lot of holes around the speaker in the handset, making it hard to accidentally position it with a fold of your ear blocking the opening where the sound comes out. I am buying this for my aunt who is almost 101 years old, but testing first. I will be returning it. If it were for me, I'd still return it because the sound is so bad. It is not that it is faint, just not clear, like too much sound being forced through too little speaker. This is a Panasonic and my desk phone is a 40 year old Panasonic corded phone and it is so nice and clear.Read full review...

Great assistant for mom

Purchased for mom. The slow speech feature works great and the audio boost is adjustable from 12db to 40db. Has a convenient rocked on side of handset to adjust boost when in boost mode. Buttons are good size. The flashing LEDs are very helpful especially when there is a voicemail, mom also has vision issues and they do get her attention. Overall I give it 5 stars and the slow speech is a function that sets this phone apart from other audio boost phones. I don't think anyone would be disappointed in purchasing this phone. I also purchased two extensions for other rooms, they function just like the base unit. Great buy for mom!Read full review...

Loud but not booming

I bought this for my mom of 91. While the phone is louder than a standard unit, it is not over the top. It does the job but I guess I was expecting it to be even a bit louder. The handset is very comfortable, the display is big and it is easy to set up. It has waaaay too many options for seniors to be bothered with but that's ok as many of them are incidental. I programmed the phone to operate at ear shattering levels all the time so mom doesn't have to mess with it. Yes, I would purchase it again.Read full review...

Great features from a trusted company

The hearing challenged features on this phone answering system are amazing. Sound 'Boost' plus voice 'slow' capabilities help those with hearing loss. The Bluetooth capabilities extend the system from rooms to the entire house and backyard. Lots of helpful age assisted features make this great upgrade to any phone system.Read full review...

Great phone for the hard of hearing or noisy environments

My husband is as deaf as a post, and I'm not much better. We live in a very noisy household, and I couldn't hear when the calls came in, but on this phone we can each adjust the volume according to our individual need. Love it. And the ringer can be set as loud as desired.Read full review...

It's a nice phone but the intructions are not clear enough. Hard to program.

Nice phone but a little hard to program. Too many options to navigate.
Got my daughter in law who programs remotes to set up answering message. I didn't have the patience.
