Would buy again for sound quality and range alone.
Customer Rating: 
I've used this 3-phone set for a year or two and have been very happy with the design and performance. They replaced a previous set of Panasonic phones, as I needed a third base and found it more affordable to buy this set of 3 new than to purchase a new unit from Panasonic for my previous set. I'm glad I did, as not only did these phones cost less than the 2-phone Panasonic set I previously bought, despite an open box discount at Circuit City (amazon is definately the first place I'll check for prices from now on), but this set improves on the previous generation in features, range and, most important to me, sound quality. This is the clearest sounding phone I think I've had since switching from tethered to cordless. I haven't owned too many different models, but of the GE's, Unidens, V-Techs, and even previous generation Panasonics that I have used, none were as clear as even the speaker phone function on this phone, which is what I primarily use and when I ask, people I'm talking to never even realize they're on speaker, so the transmitting receiver must be pretty good too.
The phones range is phenomenal. I've carried it outside, talking at least 50 yards from the house and even further from the base, without even a hint of static or signal loss. It has a large feature set, but I'm not really a phone person, so I haven't used most of what it can do, other than the basic phone and answering machine functions. That you can automatically transfer your contacts to the other phones is much more convenient than having to program them into each phone separately, but I was used to that from the previous Panasonic I used. I like that it has an intercom function and the included belt clip is nice too. I rarely am around a phone enough to use it, but I leave it attached just in case, as it doesn't seem to hinder sound clarity, despite it partially covering the speaker phone speaker.
My sole criticism of these phones, which I find significant but not a deal-breaker, is that, on occasion, an incoming call doesn't register on one or both of the satellite bases, causing me to miss the call because the satellite base fails to ring (still goes to the main base where the caller can leave a message though). Both bases are less than 30 feet away from the main unit, in opposite directions, but are usually behind closed doors. It's not common, but in the year or two that I've had these phones, it's happened at least a half dozen times that I know of. Usually I'm within earshot of the primary receiver, so I don't know exactly how often it may occur. It's probably relevant to note that my previous Panasonic phone set was the same way and thus it could also be related to where one of the bases is kept (on the floor in a dedicated HT with insulated walls for sound control). All the other phones I've used have only had a single base, so I can't offer any conjecture as to whether it may be normal for multiple base units or a problem unique to Panasonic. But since it's not too consistent, and I'm not much of a phone talker, it's been a fairly minor inconvenience. So far, none of the missed calls qualified as emergencies or were very important.
For its sound quality and range, I'd definately buy these phones again. Infact, I purchased a set for my sisters family at Christmas. Her husband is a minister, so between the two of them, they spend a lot of time with calls and seem very happy with these too.
DO NOT BUY! RETURNED ITEM TWICE!!
Customer Rating: I have bought the first phone from Costco in 2008. The phone worked very well for the first month or so, then it started:
1) dropping calls randomly.
2) screen goes off just when you're about to answer - WORST!
3) Batteries do not hold their charge.
I don't know how I could last that long, but it took me 8 month to return it. At that time being a Panasonic loyal customer I did buy the same model, thinking that it is an isolated issue which by that time would have been solved.
Guess what... After not even a month, the phone started showing the same behavior as the previous one. So... It is just a waste of time specially when it's have been 15 mins that you're waiting for the costumer service and the phone just decides to drop the call when it is your turn!!!
Save yourself lots of time and buy another brand! Panasonic seems overly confident with their brand name so their selling expensive junk made in China.
Hope this helps...
