PanasonicKX-TGM420W + (1) KX-TGMA44W Amplified Cordless Phone with Digital Answering Machine and Voice Volume Booster upto 40 dB (2 Handsets)

I have only had the phones for a couple of days, but so far I like them. They arrived on time, were easy to set up, are loud enough even when not set at full volume, and the sound quality is good, and they feel hefty in the hand so I am hoping they will be durable.

Got these for my Mom who is hard of hearing, love the red flashing at top when phone is ringing, extra high volume, so we can have a decent conversation without getting too frustrated.

Update July 2022I think the problem was our wifi through magic jack and not the phone. I replaced the 5 yr old magic jack with a new one and issues were solved.We then moved in Jan 2022 to a rural area with MB speeds instead of GB. Callers cannot sometimes hear us or we cannot hear them. When I called the ISP they made a tweak to prioritize phone calls over other wifi use. Was slightly better for a time. Given this information I upgraded the review to 4 stars for the phone. It's very convenient to have them around the house and not have to keep a cell phone on me. Almost everything, including deleting messages can be handled from the handsets.Update Aug 2021-2 starTwo weeks ago the all of the handsets developed worsening static issues. Unsure if that is generated by the base unit or why it waited 2 months to deteriorate. Tried the tone button and the handsets will individually reset to a clear line but as soon as a call is placed or received static again escalates to where the conversation is not intelligible.Have checked all lines, tried using new phone cords, tried moving the Magic Jack Unit to a direct router connection and even ordered a replacement Magic Jack Unit. We have FiOS internet and used MJ for past 3 years, no problems. Calls placed and received over Wifi MJ app are with crystal clear.Next I replaced the Panasonic base unit with our Captel phone. The static disappeared and CapTel calls were crystal clear. Therefore I am left to believe the Panasonic phone or base unit has deteriorated.Since we require handsets in 5 different areas and the Captel phone is not cordless, I am once again searching for a base unit with cordless phone extensions. Strongly considering VOIP with Zoom phone and/or Google Voice so now looking at Yealink phones.Orginal Review June 2021I was worried reading some of the reviews that volume was not good. I've only had there's for about a month. Both hubby and myself wear hearing aids. He is hearing impaired and I have tinnitus. The volume is loud enough that we don't need to use the speaker button. Even without our hearing aids we can hear the conversation. I have voice issues and can't talk above a whisper. The phone carries my whisper and so far everyone has been able to hear what I am saying.Very much like the large number, the backlight and the large flashing light to let us know someone left a message. Set up wasnt difficult as we were using a different Panasonic model before this one. Menu and codes are similar. The other one let me name each handset. This doesn't stop I do miss that feature.

I love my purchase, and I'm not HOH. Easy set up, user friendly, and clear reception.

With the option to slow down the pace of an incoming callers words, being able to increasing the volume,and the large buttons, these phones are working great for my 95 year Aunt.

Doesn't hold the charge. After charging ALL NIGHT, one handset went dead in 20 minutes

I bought because of the best reviews from people that had purchased them .so, what does that say about happy reviews 😊 value for money etc, etc ,etc

Desperately need this phone for aging parents; love the ability to boost the volume. But- have only used the phone for a week and the second receiver will not hold a charge; goes dead after about 15 seconds of use. Have already ordered new rechargeable batteries; hope that fixes the problem.
