Compact Plain Paper Fax/copier with Answering System

We use this in our kitchen as our phone/answering machine/fax. It's perfect. No problems with it. It takes up much less space than our old one. I would recommend for anyone that is looking for the convenience of having a fax machine in their home, but also wants a phone and answering machine.

I was looking for a small all-in-one to replace an old telephone/answering machine that sat on my kitchen counter for years. This compact unit is not much bigger than my old telephone. Since it will store up to 18 received faxes in it's memory (if out of paper) I do not keep paper in the tray. That way it takes up less space. The machine tells you if a fax is waiting to print, so I just add paper when an incomming fax is stored in memory. The answering machine works well. And the ring is pleasant. Even though it is a corded handset, this unit's phone will not work if the power is out. Probably because it is combined with a fax function. If you are looking for a very compact unit, you won't find anything better than this. I a very happy with it. It is hard to find locally unless you have a Fry's near you.

The reason why I bought the Pansonic FX-FP215 was because of the fabulous Panasonic Cordless Phone/Answering Machine/Fax/Copier that sadly bit the dust after many years of faithful, excellent service even with heavy daily use. I was also impressed with the reviews of the product on Amazon.

The most annoying missing feature is that there is no memory for faxes, thus it is easy come, easy go - if you are faxed and don't get it and the person who faxed gets a confirmation that the fax was received, well that's an issue and it has happened often.

The Panasonic help desk had me change my greeting and setting so now it is "ready" to receive faxes after three rings, jut one of a few tries to create a consistent fax recieving mode. Currently the fax component is not working properly - today Panasonic kept trying to fax me unsuccessfully all day (at least six times that I saw on the...Read more
