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!

We wanted a land line system, since the previous one we recently bought was pretty bad (not Panasonic, not A&T). I researched many systems online at several sources, and this system seemed like the best choice based on value and cost. The box was well packaged, and was delivered fairly quickly. The screen is very readable, and also has audible ID calling. Also has a "call block" button, as well as an answering system. Very easy to set up. Cell phone sync is included, as is speaker phone. Sound quality was much better than the earlier system we bought. The only complaint is that the description calls for 8 AA batteries. In reality, this needs 8 AAA rechargeable batteries (that were included). All-in-all, a very nice system with a ton of features.

Was in dire need of house phones. This served the purpose. Great price, easy hookup connected to my wifi.

This Panasonic set is our second set in 21 years. We replaced our previous set to catch up with technology. The features, which I won’t list here because they are listed accurately in the description, add value to the phone’s performance. The individual volume control of the base and the handhelds is a great feature, as well as the ability to silence a phone’s ring. Two phones in the same room (as a living room) where two people have one by their favorite chair, is a great time to use that feature. Great phone set; highly recommend.

It was time to buy a new cordless system. My old Panasonic cordless system started failing with 2 of 3 handsets dying. I had it a long time. This new Panasonic system is basically the same but with an extra handset (4 total). Easy to set up and so far happy with quality and performance. Good price point.

This replaced an existing Panasonic system that gave excellent service for many years. It can be up and running in just half hour or so. But if you want all the ample functionality of this system it will take some time with the comprehensive manual provided. Not complicated to follow manual just a bit time consuming. You can pick and choose which functions to activate.

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.

Fantastic home phone system will call block. 4 phones for my home Just love the Panasonic brand

Funcionan perfectamente, puedo comunicarme entre auriculares, personalizando el nombre de cada uno y personalizando el timbre en cada uno.... números de buen tamaño, fácil de instalar y de programar... los volvería a comprar!!

Este producto es excelente. Tiene 3 extensiones adicionales y el Bluetooth para dos celulares. Tiene buen alcance y su onido es nitido. Configurable para español. Lo inico es no tengo manera configurar la lada para mexico que no me afecta del todo pero desearia se pudiera configurar manualmente. Reemplaza a otro panasonic no por falla sino por actualización. Si reemplaza a otros vtech que fallaron en 3 años (falla comun en estos equipos). Recomiendo siempre comprar panasonic nuevos no reacondicionados.

They work well in our house. The clarity is very good and I like the extra large display. As for the Bluetooth connection, I have not used it. I don't use the answering machine as I have one with the phone company and it sends me an email when a message comes in. I have had Panasonic before and they were good as well. So these seem to be living up to my expectations.

Los aparatos cumplen con mis expectativas. Ya había adquirido otros muy semejantes hace algunos años y ese fue el motivo de continuar con la misma marca.
