Panasonic KX-TG994 DECT 6.0 Bluetooth 4-Handset Phone Bundle

As I researched the current offerings from Panasonic that offer features that help to combat robocalls, I came across this model. It has all the most up to date capabilities, but is being offered for one third the price of the most recent models. When I checked out the operating instructions they apply to both this model and the newer ones (models KX-TGF973B/KX-TGF975B). There are no differences in features or functionality between them, except this model is rated somewhat higher for performance.The only differences I could see are that this is a 2021 model and has a mostly silver and black finish, and the “current” models released in 2023 are black with silver trim. Otherwise they are identical! Also, this model comes with 4 handsets and the current offerings with 3 or 5 respectively.I purchased this one (because, duh!), read the instructions, and set it up. I have Nomorobo and plan to keep it as it blocks about 90% of robocalls. My 15 year old Panasonic phone (which I absolutely love and is still working perfectly) has almost no features to deal with the spoofing calls that still get through, however, so I decided it was time for an update.This phone, in combination with Nomorobo, can be set up to completely silence and/or block unwanted calls. It uses my phonebook and cel phone’s contact list to allow wanted calls through, plus has ways to easily block or allow other numbers (and people.) It captures the caller ID info of blocked calls for later review so that any legitimate numbers intercepted can be allowed in the future. Some spoofed calls still get through, but I have no idea until I check the CID list. There are a lot of other features, so I’ll just leave it at that. Sufficed to say, there are ways to deal with nearly anything.So far it is functioning as intended and the call quality is excellent. I’ve had no issues except that the clarity is so good that digital compression artifacts are fairly noticeable. It has features to help with that, but I haven’t experimented with them yet.The range is good, but as others have described, not as good as some older models (mine included.) This is a result of constantly evolving technologies causing a need for older ones (in decline) to adapt to better coexist. My old phone operates at 5.8GHz/200mW and this new one at 1.9GHz/115mW. This change is to ”play nice” with WiFi and to be more energy efficient, but unfortunately means that it simply can’t perform as well as some older models in the handset range department. That said, for my situation, the performance hasn’t suffered (because my condo is fairly small.)(“ECO” mode doesn’t quite reach far enough to consistently “kick in” in my bedroom, so I purchased the recommended Panasonic range booster (model KX-TGA407) to correct that situation. For more information on that, check out my review of that product.)I wanted some back up handsets and realized that it is much cheaper to buy additional whole systems (ca’ching!) to do this. So that’s what I did.I realize that the current low price is because they are dumping the remaining stock of this now “out of date” system, but it really isn’t. If your OK with silver, get it while you can!

worked out perfectly for what i needed it for

Full set of features for telephone and intercom within the home. With Link to Cell Bluetooth connectivity there's no need to carry around or run to your mobile phone within the house. Cell call quality is fairly good but sometimes degraded due to Bluetooth wireless limitations. Not sure if the similar but more expensive KX-TGF973 / 975 models offer better performance.

Happy with this product for my small business.

Absolutely great phones needs these with so much spam calls blocking!

Both our old Panasonic set (from 2013) and this newer replacement set run the batteries low if out of the cradle for more than a hour. I was stunned to see low-bat levels while swapping out the old for new system. They were flagged as powered off sitting on the table today. However, they were still displaying the menu screen and talking with the base ... so, keep them in the cradles unless in actual use. I had hoped to have a unit on my belt during a shift but that is not in the cards. Once the battery drains, it takes 7 hours to recharge.

This set of phones is the worst I've ever had. They do not work properly-sometimes they will, sometimes they won't. I purchased the protection plan and it's been such a runaround to try to get help. These phones were purchased for my 93 year old father who lives alone so they need to work in case of an emergency. Half the time you can't answer the phone, a message will come up 'no link' or 'place on base to supply power' when the phone has been charging all night or other various messages that will prevent you from answering or making a call. We found out if you press the of button then the on button a few times in a row that you can use the phone. Well, if God forbid, there is an emergency I don't want to have to play games to get a call out. Trying to get in touch with someone who can actually help is ridiculous, on chat an agent said Panasonic will repair the phones but they have to be sent in. First of all, I don't want this set because they are faulty and I don't have faith in them but that is my only option. Ok, then what do I do in the meantime while they are being 'fixed'? I asked to speak to a manager and the agent couldn't do that either, he said to start another chat if I wanted to speak to someone else. Unbelievable. I asked for a telephone number to speak with someone and the number provided was not in service. I repeatedly asked for him to check the number which he didn't, saying this is the only number. Do not buy these phones. I want a refund. I would not recommend Panasonic at all based on this experience and the vast amount of time it is taking to get a resolution.

These work ok. Had this brand before liked, but somewhat disappointed in new phones.. the message reminder. Phone doesn't light up like old phone. Main station keeps digging, very annoying!!! Phone only repeats name once and rings only twice on receiving end. Callers says its rang several times on their end , Not on receivers end!!! So sometimes message comes on before phone call can even be answered! If they don't want to wait for message, they hang up and your saying hello to No one!!!
