I purchased this set after trying a few other answering machine + phone models, from simplest to very advanced. I like this one because it offers all features important to me. Most desired one for me is ability to easily turn it ON in given room. I work from home, have a few important spots in different rooms. I miss calls sometimes. I worked in one room and ringing in another room would go unnoticed. So I put 3 identical units to work. Main unit in the kitchen is set to 4 rings and stays ON all the time. Other unit set to min rings is turned ON only when I am within sight. It works magic for me, I never miss a call now, no matter where I work at home. Recently I noticed I can not turn Answering Machine ON when I hear ringing. Must do that in advance, before a call arrives. Otherwise I really enjoy using this model.
PROS.
Large buttons, easy intuitive settings are a big plus.
Loud voice that says: Calls will be answered - or - Calls will NOT be answered.
Very rare feature lately - printed word MIC on front panel shows actual location of microphone hole.
Very comfortable handset, not too light, not too heavy, no feel of metal bar inside like some handsets had in the past.
Voice quality is rather Good than Fair. Other models I had were similar or worse.
Includes attachment for standing on a desk, as opposed to hang on the wall plate.
CONS.
Lit buttons would be a plus. Such wonderful keypad begs for lit buttons! I would pay extra for this.
When power is disconnected, time & day settings are erased.
Can not turn ON answering machine once the phone is ringing.
I am at a loss why large characters on lit display show that: CL4940 - why would I need it? Instead of, display my phone number! So my guests picking the phone will see what that number is. Or let me write a short message here.
UPDATE 3-2021.
After extensive travel and coming back home I noticed messages had time stamp but only day/time. How do I know Monday a month ago or last Monday? Such time stamp with a date like Nov 14, 2020 in ideal phone would be spoken or be displayed on the screen.
Display is dim and difficult to read. I practically do not use the screen, as it is non-usable to me, at maximum contrast setting 4. Display is dim and impossible to read on all 3 units, under all light conditions. After using all 3 units for a long time I realized I really ignore the screen. With AC Adapter being used it is no power supply issue but poor design decision I think. So all three phones I have are no defects but poor design. I have other phones at home that read perfect under all light conditions.
Overall I think this product at such price point is good. I am OK with all 3 units I have. They work for my scenario well.

Works absolutely fine as a wall mount phone.
I was looking for a wall mount phone with a bright display and am very pleased with this one. It mounts on a standard two stud wall plate. To prevent to receiver from falling of remove the tab, turn it 180 degrees and reinsert it. The only downside for some might be the amount the bottom of the phone protrudes from the wall.

El color blanco no me gusta pero cuando vi el teléfono me encantó porque en la parte de abajo y en los lados es color gris claro y se ve padrísimo, lo quería negro pero es más caro y en blanco está super bien por que obvio es más claro y fácil de ver para los adultos mayores.
Lo único malo en este teléfono es que tiene poca capacidad para registrar y/o guardar números en el directorio y que cuando se activa la grabadora, se graban los ruidos o voces que hay en casa y si no quieres contestar una llamada pues sabrán que si estás; así que la grabadora funciona perfecto se escucha muy bien la voz de los mensajes.
Tengo poco tiempo con el teléfono espero que no empiece a fallar antes o después del año.
