Packed with contemporary features, the Panasonic KX-TG4322B 5.8 GHz Expandable Cordless Digital Answering Phone System includes handy call waiting and caller ID features, an all-digital answering machine with 12 minutes of recording time, a 50-station shared phonebook, and a digital handset speakerphone.
With the Panasonic answering system, you’ll never miss important calls, even when the ringer is off. The integrated light-up indicator featured at the base of the handset’s antenna will flash quickly when an incoming call is in progress, and will flash slowly to let you know you have a new message. Should you choose to expand the answering system to include additional handsets, each handset can be programmed to ring or simply flash at your discretion. The system is compatible with up to three additional handsets (for a total of four).
In addition to the standard call waiting feature, this system comes with call waiting caller ID2, a feature that allows you to see who’s calling you if you’re already taking a call. Other great features include a 50-station shared phonebook, a handy charge indicator, a backlit LCD display, and a convenient intercom feature. Providing up to five hours of cordless talk time, the handset’s rechargeable Ni-MH battery offers up to 11 days of uncharged standby battery life.

Customer feedback:

1. I ordered this updated version of our previous Panasonic phones. The first phones were fabulous except that the numbers on the buttons wore away. This set of 2 phones works great so far, with some welcome improvements such as (1) you only need to type your phonebook info into one handset, not both as with our previous phones, (2)and the base unit rings as well as the handsets, therefore, if a handset is in another room or outside where you might not hear it ringing, you can hear the base unit ring. This is a great set of phones for the price.

2. I purchase this phone for it’s solid reviews and performance. Amber back light and answer machine and voice caller id and most important it’s Night mode. Night mode turns the ringer off while you sleep for a set period of time that you choose. The main issue is no backlight for keypad. It’s a standard feature with a majority of the phones out there but Panasonic didn’t think so. Why have a backlight LCD and light marker if you can’t see the pad to answer the phone. This to me is a fatal flaw for an otherwise great phone.

A 2.4 GHz digital cordless phone from Panasonic, the KX-TG2224W comes equipped with popular features, including an integrated digital answering system and caller ID with call waiting compatibility. It features 30 caller ID memory locations, as well as a built-in handset speakerphone for hands-free operation.
By utilizing the 2.4 GHz frequency and digital technology, the KX-TG2224W offers clear, intelligible reception even at a distance. The integrated one mailbox digital answering system has a record time of up to 15 minutes and features all/new message playback, skip, and repeat, as well as a SlowTalk message setting, while remote message check lets you stay in touch even while you are away. A time/date stamp lets you know when each message was received, and a 50 number phone directory lets you easily find and dial the most frequently used phone numbers.
The NiMH battery has a six-hour recharge time, while the low-battery indicator lets you know when to return the handset to its base. The two-way intercom lets you easily communicate with others in the home or office, and a page button on the base makes finding a lost handset quick and painless. Wall-mountable, freeing up valuable desktop space, the KX-TG2224W is headset compatible (a belt-clip is provided) saving your neck from the strain of cradling the phone. It also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.

2.4 GHz digital operation

Customer feedback:

1. Ive only had the phone a few weeks so time will tell, but so far Im happy. Horrible battery life and poor sound quality on both the recorded greeting and on the recorded message were the primary reasons for replacing the old phone.
The biggest complaint from other reviewers seems to be the battery, but for me the battery life is worth every penny of the purchase price. The first few charges have each lasted a full week before the battery indicator was down to “one bar”. During this week, there was probably only about hour of usage, but this is pretty typical for our household.
I haven’t recorded a greeting yet, but the quality of recorded messages is just as clear as is the sound during a call. The phone has some kind of voice enhancement capability, but it is turned off. I dont need the phone to have great range, but walked around the yard with it just to see what it could do. At 100-125 feet, there was no change in the sound quality so that was good enough for my use.

2. I can’t tell you how many phones I have looked at to finally find one that has all the bell’s and whistles at such a great price.

Customer feedback:

1. Needed a phone system that wouldn’t conflict with my wireless-g network. This one worked flawlessly. Excellent range can use outside the house. Crystal clear. Transferable phonebook between handsets. Works great with Vonage. It does everything I was looking for.

2. I am very surprised at some of the reviews for this phone, and am glad I did not see them before I purchased mine about 6 months ago. The phone has been flawless for us. We have the base downstairs in the kitchen and the satellite handheld on the 2nd floor in the master bedroom, quite a distance from the base. We use the intercom every so often without any problem. I have roamed the entire house and have had crystal clear reception each time. I have not tried venturing out into the yard very far with it.
The answering machine does everything it is supposed to. I love the feature of erasing some messages and keeping others. My old machine made you erase all or none.
I had a lot of family visiting with their laptops over Thanksgiving and the phones did not interfere with our wireless network. My sister complained that her 2.4 gHz cordless interferes with her wireless network all the time.

Customer feedback:

1. For the price, we couldn’t find a better phone. The extra handset is nice, as well as the room monitoring feature. Great buy!

2. Bought this to replace a larger system after lightening struck the base of the old one. The extra handsets from the old set were easily programmed to expand this system (but only to a total of 4 handsets.) This has lots of features, good reception, clarity and hearing volume. Shipped quickly by Amazon without problems.

It couldn’t be any easier than this: a cordless hand saw that cuts wood, metal, drywall, plastic, rope and more. We like it for its grab-it-and-go convenience and because it doesn’t balk at wood that’s up to an inch thick. It’s perfect for taming overgrown bushes and stray branches, but it also makes quick work of PVC pipes, vinyl gutters, wire shelving, wallboard, craft projects and a hundred other things. It’s small and light enough for even the most petite among us to grasp it firmly with just one hand, leaving your other free.
Of course, we like bells and whistles, but sometimes, a straightforward tool like this one is the easiest to use. Just keep it in its wall-mountable charger, then grab it when you need it. Even changing blades is a fast and easy task because it’s tool-free. It’s powered by a 6-volt battery and delivers a surprising 1,850 strokes per minute with a 1/2-inch stroke length, and best of all, it doesn’t require fancy blades – just standard jigsaw blades. Homeowners and do-it-yourselfers will really like this little saw.

Technical Details

* Cuts almost anything including thin metal, up to 1-inch wood, plastic, and drywall
* Tool-free blade change provides quick and easy blade changes; cordless operation for quick and convenient cutting
* Accepts standard jig saw blades; wall-mountable charger provides continuous charging for grab & go convenience
* Lightweight and compact for easy access to tight areas; makes up to 200 cuts of 1/2-inch oak dowels
* 2-year warranty

Customer feedback:

1. I bought this to cut wood. It cuts wood and has enough power to do it neatly. The blades attach easily and store in the wall mount. This is very convenient, making it easy to find the saw and hard to lose the blades.

2. A very handy little recip saw. Just perfect for small jobs or where larger recip type saws are not practical.

Get the freedom of portable cutting power without the hassles of gas. Cut though logs and branches up to 8 inches in diameter, chop up prunings or use the cordless chain saw to clear fallen debris and limbs after a storm. The cordless chain saw provides a convenient powerful alternative to the hassles of gas. Most gas powered chain saws are heavy and cumbersome. You have fumes and spillage when refueling and breathing exhaust when cutting. Gas engines also require frequent tune-ups. At just 6.2 pounds, the cordless chain saw is lightweight and portable, yet its powerful motor will breeze through tough backyard cutting jobs. powered by an 18-volt rechargeable battery, the cordless chain saw will make up to 150 1-1/2-inch diameter cuts on just one charge. The cordless chain saw features a low-kickback 8-inch bar and chain. An onboard oiling feature keeps the chain oiled hassle free. Just fill the oil chamber and after every cut just push a button twice to oil the blade. This prevents for smoother cuts and a longer lasting bar and chain. A window lets you know how much oil remains. The cordless chain saw is designed for a comfortable cutting experience. A wrap around handle provides multiple gripping positions to make both straight and side cuts. A soft grip pad on the handle provides maximum comfort. The cordless chain saw comes with one 18-volt battery that is interchangeable with other Black & Decker outdoor products and power tools.

Technical Details

* 8″ Cutting Bar & Chain Allows for a Maximum Cutting Capacity
* 18 Volt NiCd Battery Provides up to 150 1-1/2″ Diameter Cuts per Charge
* Lightweight Design For Ease of Use
* On Board Oiling with Window to Gauge Oil Level
* Wrap Around Handle Gives Multiple Gripping Position

Customer feedback:

1. I was tired of reving up my heavy 20 inch gas chain saw for occasional jobs around the property. This saw is light and convenient for work in tight locations like brush clearing. It arrived promptly from Amazon. It I appears to be well designed and worked fine after charging the included 18 volt battery. Although product specs do not mention it, the package includes a charger for the battery. I have not used the product long enough to determine how long the battery holds its charge. But, on a fresh charge it successfully cut through everything that I have tried it on .. soft wood and hard wood.

2. If you need a light-duty chain saw (to use around the property, not out in the woods by professionals) then buy this! It’s beyond useful and is nicer in-person than what it looks like on the web. I trimmed our 20+ yr old maple tree like it was child’s play. No cords, no gas to store, no problems. I trimmed that tree and several other bushes in the yard, and have yet to recharge the battery for it even once. One recommendation however: make sure you have some SAE 30W motor oil handy. There’s a built-in reservoir for such a lubricant (to oil the chain to extend its life).

BeoCom 4 is a plug and play concept, which means that no downloads or programming is necessary before using the phone - simply plug it in and use it. It has all the relevant functions, and yet operation is easy and explicit. The innovative navigation wheel makes for very easy use of the features, including Redial and Caller ID list, and Phonebook for up to 200 names and numbers. A handy belt clip, that comes with the phone, is perfect for bringing the handset around with you and with the comfortable fit of the EarSet 1 Home headset, BeoCom 4 can be used completely hands-free.

Product Details:

# As with all Bang & Olufsen cordless telephones, the sound quality is simply the best in the market.
# It reproduces the caller’s voice with remarkable clarity and authenticity, thanks to the interaction of a specially designed loudspeaker with digital sound processors.
# The simple shape of BeoCom 4 is an indicator of its straightforward purpose - as a walk and talk cordless phone for the home.
# For extra hands-free flexibility, EarSet 1 can also be used with the BeoCom 4.

This is a great saw. It’s packing as much power as its corded colleagues—-maybe more—-but with the awesome convenience of a cordless. It sacrifices nothing in the way of strength or guts with its 1-inch stroke length and 2,900 strokes per minute. It’s relatively lightweight for its power, but the battery does add some heft to it, and that’s really the only less-than-perfect feature about it. The keyless blade clamp system lets you change out a blade without even touching the used blade or reciprocating shaft. We like that the open-topped shoe will pivot, so your visibility is never impaired. The trigger is encased in the same hand-friendly compound that wraps the handle grip as well as the front boot grip, and it’s total comfort in your hand. We always like a trigger lock for reduced hand fatigue, too, and this one’s got it all. Another great feature is that the blade reverses when you’re faced with flush or plunge cuts.
Customer feedback:
1. DeWalt has another cordless winner here. Plenty of power. I have a corded Mikita saw that I have used for years and its great for the big, intensive use jobs. I wanted something for the smaller jobs that was cordless and not have to drag around an extension cord… quick out; quick to put away. I have a mix of corded power tool brands but settled on DeWalt for my cordless needs. I have half-dozen 18v XRP’s and a couple of chargers through past purchases.
2. I had bought a Sears 19.2V cordless reciprocating saw which came with 2 batteries. However, the batteries would not hold a charge (both of them) and the brief time it work the saw seem to bog down. Believe I paid about $110 for the Sears. After the returned the Sears unit I purchase the Dewalt and couldn’t be happier. Used it to cut wood and metal with excellent results. It’s heavier than the Sears model but the Dewalt really works well and the battery has staying power. I paid $179 for the Dewalt with free Amazon shipping. As always its best to spend a little more money and get a quality unit.

Product features:

# Lever-action keyless blade clamp for quick and easy blade changes and 4-positions for flush cutting
