Author's Review
I bought this machine for my two-person branch office and it is a great product if used within its design limitations. If you're going to make tons of copies or send many faxes per day, this is NOT your machine. If you are a fax or two a day sender and want a quality cordless phone and digital answering machine to boot, this is ideal and near perfect. The build quality of the unit appears to be very good and the qualities of the telephone (range, audio, features) would be excellent in a standalone phone, let alone in an all-in-one machine. This is one of the few machines on the market that offers the combination of a cordless 2.4 GHz phone, digital answering machine, copier, fax, and speakerphone. The price is great and if it holds up long term (and it is likely to since it is a Panasonic) it will be the near perfect small office machine. My complaints center around fax performance - it's slow to send and receive faxes. The fax quality is good, to if you can live with a couple of pages a minute speed this is your machine.
