Query: weak phone/answerer

We purchased this phone/answerer and an expansion handset and returned them because it did not work well and we were disappointed. The answering machine sounded very poor with a tinny sound that distorted the voices. The speaker on the base is small and the voices sound un-natural. Our recorded outgoing announcement sounded weak and cheap. The phone had an echo periodically which the callers on the other end of the line did not hear but was annoying to us using the phone. The only positive was the speaker phone on the handset which did sound good. I would not recommend this phone/answerer to anyone.
