Pros Man's voice, fast/slow playback, call recording, call screening, remote access, 3...
Cons Retrieving old messages requires pushing button for an extended time.
Recommended it? Yes

After reading reviews complaining of poor sound quality and excess complexity, I was pleasantly surprised with the unit. The number of buttons is few compared to the number of features. A little study makes them perfectly clear. The sound quality, while it could be better, is adequate for the task... Read full review »

Horrible machine! NOT user friendly AT ALL! Could not understand the instructions compiled on this table size sheet. Went to the web site to get a condensed version. It was 13 pages long! Finally did get a message to record but it was garbled with static. After the fourth day it quit altogether... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

This answering machine was wonderful while it worked but it died after only 1 year! When I called their tech support, they told me it needed repair with a minimum $25 charge. I told them for $25 I could buy a new one. Then they told me I could buy one through them with free shipping. I told them if... Read full review »

Cons It doesn't work!

I bought this machine 1 year ago for my massage business. I needed a unit that would work silently and I could access remotely. I loved the features offered on this machine. It had everything (including things I don't even use).

Audio quality isn't great. The machine does not always... Read full review »

Pros 3 mailboxes, spoken caller ID, decent digital sound
Cons Poor user interface (can be confusing & frustrating), occasional trouble recognizing...
Recommended it? Yes

I've been using this answering machine for about a year now. I was originally attracted to it's multiple mailboxes and spoken-aloud caller ID feature. It delivers quite well on those two features, but is otherwise frustrating to use.

All of the unit's features are configured by pressing a... Read full review »
