Our need for phones in various rooms led us to this gem. The expandable cordless system with three handsets answered our call for convenience. Not only does it look impressive, but it also fits perfectly into our business routine.
What's remarkable is that this phone system offers more than just looks. With its smart features like programmable shortcut keys, smart call blocking, and even Bluetooth connectivity, it's a game-changer. I was initially exploring options at Best Buy, but this system had a few more tricks up its sleeve and came at a comparable cost.
I even went a step further and bought an extra unit for another desk we're planning to set up. It's all about options, and this system didn't disappoint. The vibrant color display adds a touch of flair to our workspace, and the functionality has exceeded our expectations.
It does block calls well, though not perfectly. Hard to figure out how to set it up as desired.
User says that sometimes there is interference when her furnace fan is running, or on other occasions. Haven't figured that out yet. Old cordless phones had a channel scan feature, I will look for that in the manual, but not sure this phone has that feature.
