I had this same model that I've had for 4-5 years. The volume was diminishing so I replaced it with the same modeland color.I like it and it serves me well. I need back up phone for rural area. Works off my wifi.
My old Vtech that I have had for four years and also got on Amazon was still working, but they recommend changing the battery pack every one to two years if you use a lot.Well, I do use my phone a lot as I am at home most of the time.It didn't cost much more to get a new phone over the battery pack.So was still going after four years and I have paid 20 and change for my old one, this one, with tax (high tax in my state), was 23 and change.It took about 12 hours to fully charge before first use, which is expected.Maybe a little less or more, but it does take awhile.Love the sleek look!Has all the features I need and was surprised it even had aaa batteries in case power went out!We get a lot of thunderstorms here in the Midwest and power going out not uncommon.It even has a button on the side of the base to locate handset.Bottomline:Would get again and when I want or need another phone, it will again be Vtech.
We really like the appearance and ease of use.User-friendly. Ringtone perfect.
