Title: Worth the Effort
Review: Purchased the 8825 in July and am satisfied that it is the best telephone system currently available. It does require an investment of time in order to set it up properly. But once setup, it has an excellent set of features with the majority quite useful. I believe the problem most people have is the mind set that this unit can be plugged in out of the box and used. You have to completely read the manual which is fairly good. I did call the help line and following a 10 minute wait talked with a knowledgeable person who solved the problem [do not record your answering machine greeting with the handset (use the speakerphone) or the last 1/10 of a second of your message is cut off]. That one is not in the manual! Quality of construction/design is excellent and sound quality is very good. The ability, with caller ID, to "announce" the person who is calling is great. The four stars relates to the length of time required to completely setup and the cost of the unit and additional phones.
Is the review positive or negative?
