We have owned the Panasonic cordless home phone for several years now and are very happy with it.  The model number of this phone is KX-TGA5442M.  We have the phone with the wall mount and answering machine and two handheld cordless phones.

These phones have been great and have lasted for four years so far.  We have had no problems with these phones as far as sound and usage.  We are able to store our favorite phone numbers in the telephone directory or speak on the hand held on speaker phone. 

My only complaint about this phone is the hands free headset that you can purchase to go with it. ...
