Summary: 5 Stars
I found this unit easy to set-up. I like the feature that as soon as the phone rings, the number is announced.Customer Review: Basic and functional, does the job for low cost
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this needing a basic answering machine that I could figure out how to set up. I had returned a store brand from a local retailer, who said it would be easy, but I couldn't even get the date set up.
This machine's instructions are easy enough to follow. Nice feature is that you can delete individual messages. There is also an audio verification of your settings. Only downside to this model is the sound quality. Your own voice recording will not sound like yourself, so I made use of that, and did a little skit of a celebrity in rehab. (I have since changed that to a basic message.) The sound quality of recorded incoming messages is okay. The old cassette answering machine I owned had excellent recording, but after ten years, it finally jammed after serving me well.
So for the low price and ease of use, I could recommend this to others if you are okay with a bit of distortion in your voice. You can play with that and it will sound better than the pre-recorded announcement that sounds like a game show voiceover.
Customer Review: You get what you pay for!

This answering machine would be great if only it had any sound quality. Messages sound as though they were recorded underwater, impossible to decipher until you play them several times and even then you are guessing at half the words! Too bad because it is a great little machine otherwise. However, since the purpose of an answering machine is to receive your messages, don't waste your money on this product.Customer Review: Good answering machine for the price.

Stand alone answering machines are hard to find these days. I didn't see a lot of choices either online or at the stores. I'd had an older AT&T machine that was very good and lasted for many years. This model 1739 is nicely designed and simple to use. The sound quality of the outgoing message could be better. I also wish that it was capable of recording a second outgoing message to use when you go on vacation, as was available on my older model. But all in all I am satisfied with the machine.Customer Review: Exceeds expectations for the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this yesterday at Walmart for $14.97. I had a digital one previously that lasted for about 14 years and broke about 6 months ago. I get all my important calls on my cell phone, so we went without an answering service at home for a while. But with kids back in school and so many important places having our home number we want to have something just in case we get an important call, but we don't want to pay $10/month to the phone company for voicemail service. Well I hooked this up last night and tested it out. The quality is VERY GOOD for $15! It will get the job done, esp. since we depend more on our cell phones than our home phone. The features are very advanced over the last machine we had, and you just couldn't ask for more to meet the needs we have. This HANDS DOWN beats paying $120/year to the phone company for voicemail!!!!
