General Electric 29875GE1 Digital Answering Machine

Pros: Very nice, clear messages. Even the ones you record yourself

Cons: Price was a little too high for the features when compared to other electronics.

The Bottom Line: A solid basic machine. It's best feature is the clarity of incoming and outgoing message, the most important feature an answering machine should have.

Review: Considering that I just bought a new DVD player for $7 more, this answering machine is a little disappointing. I paid around $20 for it at Walmart. For the price, I expected a little more. Now, price not factored in, it isn't bad. It took a bit to ...

Pros: you can access your message remotely

Cons: not compatible with broadband Internet connection

Pros: inexpensive and small

Pros: Are you kidding?

Cons: Difficult complicated set up. Poor sound quality. Delicate electronic innards.

Review: It took me 2 hours to figure out how to set it up. If there hadn't been a photo of the setup in the manual, I would never have figured it out from the written instructions. The sound quality was worse than a fast-food drive-thru intercom. Messages were ...

Pros: cheap price

Cons: terrible vioce quality

Review: Purchased this less than a year ago and the voice quality progressively got worse. I now cannot even understand the messages it is so muffled & distorted. I am now shopping for a new one. Don't waste your money on ...
