Pros: Fine transmission
Features, e.g. copier, built-in help
Ergonomics

Cons: Light duty
So-so paper handling
Skimpy printing ribbon supplied

The Bottom Line: A good basic unit for light use, and an excellent deal for the money!

Review: I purchased this since I needed a very basic home fax (and was tired of using the office fax or running out to Kinko's whenever I had to dash something off). Having found this at Staples for $40 after two rebates, I feel that I have gotten more than my ...

Pros: Easy set-up, simple to use, space saver

Cons: Film cartridge did not last very long

The Bottom Line: This machine is ideal for personal or small business use. It is not suitable for frequent faxing needs of a larger company but it is reliable and simple to operate.

Review: Overall, this fax is great for personal home use. I was a bit surprised at how quickly the original film cartridge was used up, considering the little amount of use it got. I love that it does not take up a lot of space on my desk. The use of plain paper ...

Pros: ease of setup and use.

Cons: short ink ribbon

Review: I bought this fax machine because I needed a CHEAP fax for my new home office. I bought it for $30 after a $50 rebate. I got it home, installed it very quickly, and downloaded the software. I am not computer or tech savvy and it was a breeze. The ...

Pros: Simple to set up and use

Cons: Print quality average

Review: I just needed a simple fax machine for occasional faxes. I have received about ten faxes and all were of average quality. I have used it as a copier for about twenty copies and it has worked well. I have had no problems with it so far and have had it ...

Review: Generally, good value for a basic fax machine. Fairly easy to input start-up information. My only...

Pros: Simple, reliable, inexpensive.

Cons: Print quality could be better. But good enough for home use.

Review: This fax machine was easily installed, and in use within an hour of getting it home. This included the unpacking and computer hook-up. We sent and received our first faxes immediately and it has been smooth faxing ever ...

Pros: small

Cons: copies not good, have to push a button to turn phone into fax

The Bottom Line: Not one of Panasonics better machines. If you are low on money and don't really use it for a business, you'll be ok until you can upgrade.

Review: I bought the Panasonic KX-FHD331 fax/copier because my other one got damaged - even though I bubble wrapped it 3 times - in my move. Lousy movers. I got this machine through Office Depot at $90. It isn't a bad machine per se, but not as good as my ...

Pros: The ribbon is easy to replace. The machine is inexpensive.

Cons: slow, low quality print especially on shaded forms

Review: This machine uses a ribbon that costs about $24 and goes through it in no time. It reads and prints slow and is not as user friendly as most faxes that I've used. ...

Pros: Fast Copying, Easy Basic Operation

Cons: Paper Feeding Mechanism

Review: I bought this machine from Lowes last year for 25 dollars I believe. It was a super sale item and was not out of the box. I first started using this in November of 2005 to send off my resume and cover letter. I used it twice then and everything was ...
