Panasonic KX-FHD351 Plain-Paper Fax

Good machine for a fax, answering machine and it will also call your pager to let you know you have a message, great for business purposes.

I bought this machine to replace an older model. The first time I tried to fax or copy, the gears inside banged and clacked and the fax was continually interrupted. Apparently the gears are unbalanced. This model is a cheap version of my old one and is not good value. I could not find a phone number to discuss with Amazon how to proceed. Apparently Amazon doesn't want you to call them even when something they sell is defective. I called Panasonic and was required to give them a credit card number before they would send a new one which I will get in a couple of weeks. They promised not to charge it unless I don't return the "dog" I received in the first place. Hopefully, the new one will work OK, but I have my doubts. This machine is not worth having. Don't buy electronics from Amazon.

This is older (film roll) technology, but is a good, basic fax machine for those who do not need advanced features. It faxes well enough and copies reasonably well, though there is a tendency for it to double feed pages. It is an especially good machine for older people who only need a simple fax/copier for light usage and with capabilities for telephone, speed dialing and a built-in answering machine. These additional capabilities all work quite well.Note: The Panasonic replacement film rolls are still available in office supply stores for about $30, but you can also find these rolls on-line for about $10 through Amazon suppliers.

I have found this to be the best fax/answering/speakerphone for the price. I tried the HP 1050, and had to return it (twice) because of poor sound quality. This unit has had no problems with feeding, copying, or sending/recieving faxes. I have used the unit everyday for 2 months, and think it is almost perfect. The speakerphone and answering machine are clear, even at max-volume. If you are like me, and don't like cordless phones, this is your machine. Too bad it doesn't come in black, or it would be perfect. UPDATE: After 2 years of daily use, its still working and sounding great. UDATE: Now in Jan 2010, after 4 years of daily use, still working great.

I have owned this machine for about 4 years now and have never had any problems with it. I works great. It makes good copies, takes messages and faxes with out failing. The ink film is a little pricey but it lasts a long time. I would highly recommend this machine.

I'm owned this about a year. It's my 4th Panosonic Fax/answering machine I've had and virtually nothing works reilably on it. On humid summer days I have to hand feed Faxes through it. The answering machine cuts off about 1 in 5 callers, and equally annoying, if there's a prompt hangup, from a telemarketer for example, it records 20 seconds of busy signal. None of my other Panosonic's performed like this.If it had never worked I would have returned it. But it worked randomly enough to use up its warranty.

This is agreat fax/answering machine. It's simple and works as an integrated unit. We bought one about 12 years ago and used it a lot. When it broke, we went to replace it and I bought the exact same model. The same supplies still fit. I am glad to see that once they found a good design they kept it.

Works Great!
