We live in a large, long house with extensive gardens. Telephone reception at extremes of the house & garden has always been a problem with the signal breaking up to such an extent that conversation became impossible. We have tried numerous cordless phones to no avail. The last one was actually a DECT phone however it didn't have a repeater. The Panasonic KXTCD 222 has solved our problem. With careful positioning of the repeater we now have a good clear line in all parts of the house & garden.When compared with the alternative cordless phones with DECT repeaters I believe this model to be excellent value for money.
