I've done about 50 hours of research over the last 3-4 weeks trying to replace our old Panasonic KS-TG5240 (5.8 GHz) which is about 7 years old. I felt it was important because while it was not necessarily a large purchase, we only replace our phone every 5-10 years. I looked at Consumer Reports, and online reviews both here and other retailers. The batteries on our old phones were going, the keys sticking, and the range was never good enough. We patched our range issue with some added wired phones. But we needed an upgrade to ensure our phone was answered after office hours.


i liked some of the phones made by V-Tech and Uniden, but one unique feature of Panasonic phones locked me into them. I needed the ability to schedule a phone to ring only during certain hours. The "Silent Mode" did the trick, allowing me to set start and end times that the target phone won't ring, allowing it to ring essentially after the office closed. No other manufacturer had this feature (with scheduled hours).


I was focused on range because our small preschool is about 150 feet wide, and the phone needed to reach down to the break room from the office. Consumer Reports listed 6 Panasonic models that had excellent range: 474X, 477X, 473X, 773X, 659X, and 947X. At least one model (which I found a lot of stock available) had "fair" range was the 684X. So I stayed away.
We really liked the Hold button on our existing phone, but only one of the Panasonic phones with excellent range, and none of the newer phones had a hold button. I read many an owners manual and discovered that most Panasonic phones will display a "soft key" for Mute, which while not the same as Hold, would work for our need to have a private conversation face to face before including the caller.
