Customer Rating:      Summary: Much Improved - Could have been Better Comment: We purchased the KX-TG1034S(with 4 handsets), AND the KX-TG1033S(with 3 handsets)for two different locations. They replace much earlier 2.4Ghz models.
The GOOD news:
Setup and registration was easy and the self registration was also helpful.
The batteries last MUCH longer (talk over 4 hours), and I have not left the handset out long enough to know the standby time.
Sound, and lack of Interference, are remarkable! Range is good, about the same as the previous models, however, could be better.
Overall, these are 'smarter' with improved features and performance. However,
The BAD news:
The Base station lacks several items; 1) an Intercom function, with a 'Handset-specific Page Feature' 2) the Answering Machine lacks 'Message Counter' or Audio message waiting Indicator, 3)Capture device for the Telephone wire{small item}.
The 'Hands-Free' audio quality is sometimes poor on the other end.
The Handsets seem to drop connection more often then the 2.4Ghz model.
The Yellow light {indicating charge} can NOT be turned off, and only blinks when there is a 'message' on the phone company voice mail, detected by the studder dial-tone , and NOT when this unit has a message waiting.
Sharing the PhoneBook works 'OK' with the following notes; 1) Entries sent from one handset to an other are ADDED to the receiving handset, resulting in duplication(s), 2) I have NOT been able to get the 'Single Entry Move' function to work at all.
Overall, these models are much improved but lack features that would have been easy to have included. Would I recommend purchase of these? YES, for the price they represent the BEST choice on the market at the time we made our buying decision.
Customer Rating:      Summary: phone Comment: Excellent. Works very well. Does everything it said it would. Very satisfied
Customer Rating:      Summary: Phones Comment: They were nice phones but the volume would not turn up high i would not buy these phones but usually Panasonic has good products !
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Cordless Phone Comment: We bought these to replace a 3-4 year old VTech dual set that had dead spots in our house and to add a unit. The Panasonic with Dect 6.0 solved the dead zone issue and seems to have great range inside and outside. In the deal, we also got: (1) better sound quality, (2) a lighter phone, (3) bigger buttons, (4) an decent sounding speaker phone, (5) erasing missed calls on one unit does it on all three, (6) longer battery life. Only negatives going thru more menus to erase (but that is more than offset by #5) and we didn't like the wall mount. Since we have voicemail I haven't used the answering machine, but am considering going to that for ease of use and ability to hear message being left and interrupt if desired. We are very pleased with this phone system.
Customer Rating:      Summary: I should have bought the Panasonic 6.0 9334 Series Comment: The 1033 series is still a great phone, but for a few dollars more, the 9334 series is far better. My neighbor has the 9334 series and when I bougth the 1033 phones, I did not realize my error - I wanted the same phone set she has. However, the 1033 is still an excellent choice, but spend the extra $10 - $20 and get the 9334 phones.
You do not get automatic copying from one phone to the others, call blocking, nor night-time mode.
