Panasonic KX TG2700S

Wide range, lot of additional handsets possible

none

Worked OK for 3-4 months, before the designed-in bugs took hold...

Just like Mission Impossible, this phone "will self destruct in 3 months..."

Expandable via extra handsets, decent range, good sound quality the first few months.

short battery life AND phone life, 15 hour recharge, unreliable in general

Flexible number of handsets.

Poor sound volume, terrible battery performance

Sounds clear outside

Caller Id on handset takes forever to show up. Has an annoying echo at times.
