Negative Positive
Title: Un-bear-ably good
Review: This digital answering machine was the only one I could find that wasn't part of a telephone/machine combo. Since I had little choice and its seeming simplicity and compact size were attractive, I checked it out.Evaluation:1. Directions/diagram--generally pretty clear and easy to follow.2. Function--itemized and explained for reference if any problems occurredMy biggest issue was with programming/changing the number of desired phone rings, because the directions weren't clear. I didn't change the answering message so I can't evaluate those directions.3. Claims:a. Sound quality: very good; easy to understand incoming messagesb. Info recovery: excellent. As proof, the day after I installed the unit there was a 3-hour power failure. As claimed, it retained all the programmed info except for the clock time, which took some trial and error to reset.In my brief experience with the machine (about 2 months), its overall performance has been quite satisfactory.
