Panasonic KX-FHD331 Plain Paper Fax Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this item largely based on the two 5-star reviews on this site and of course its very low price. I'm now feeling a bit disappointed.
After setting the machine up, I discovered there are a couple of things I'm not crazy about. First, the unit uses thermal heat transfer, so you need to buy "ink film" instead of ink cartridges. An entire page worth of film gets used every time you receive a fax or make a copy, regarless of whether the page is BLANK or totally BLACK. This can add up to a lot of waste. Sometimes I like to make a copy of something that doesn't take up a whole page, like a shopping receipt, and I'm paying for a whole black page with this machine. (Faxes work out to about ten cents a copy, depending of course on what you pay for ink film refills.)
Second, the used ink film serves as a negative of every fax you've received and every copy you've made. If you receive anything confidential or sensitive, you're going to want to be careful about how you dispose of your used ink film because you can read every letter printed on the film.
Third, the page-feed mechanism used for scanning documents seems incapable of handling anything other than a regular sheet of paper. I have tried several times to copy a 3x5 inch shopping receipt with this unit, and so far I haven't succeeded. My old unit could handle that task easily.
I'm left to consider returning the unit for one that can handle smaller pieces of paper and that doesn't use the ink film technology.
In fairness, I should also point out the things I do like about the unit. An advantage of the ink film is that it is actually water-resistant, unlike the ink supplied in some cartridges (like the one my old machine used). The set-up for this machine, while not as simple as some units, was doable within a few minutes. Note however that I didn't like the fact that I had to enter a two digit code from the manual to set up some features -- I couldn't just flip through menus to get what I wanted. There are lots of options for setting up distinctive ring tone answering, and you can choose the number of rings before fax pick-up (between 1 and 3 rings, inclusive). It's a small machine which is nice for small workspaces. You can choose three different ring types (though they are all pretty similar) and you can alter volume both for rings and for the handset.
Bottom line: this affordable machine will be great for some users, but unfortunately I'm not one of them.

Panasonic KX-FP101 Fax Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this fax machine because I was tired of leaving my computer running 24 - 7 to receive faxes. This Fax machine might have some nice features but it is lacking in some basics (both in advertizing specifications, hardware and quality).... I was shocked to find out that it is rated at only 9600 baud rate - I figured all fax machines sold nowadays are rated at 14,400 - boy was I wrong (I guess if they don't say 14.4k then you have to assume it's a 9.6k). Nowhere (except in the specifications INSIDE the manual) did it say anything about baud rate. I ragged on my clients for not having 14,400 fax machines and got most of them to upgrade and I end looking pretty stupid on this one.
I could not believe that you have to purchase an additional paper tray for receiving incoming faxes. If you have your fax machine anywhere close to the edge of a desk - your incoming faxes will end up on the floor without this "paper stacker" (which Amazon.com does not sell). How lame and cheap can you get?
Also I was very displeased to find out it only came with a so-called "free starter film cartridge" that will allow you to print up to 65 pages (whoopdeedo) and then you have to buy the "real" Film Cartridge (prints up to 330 pgs) - anywhere from $26.99 to $35.00 - depending on who you buy it from. This is like buying a printer with no printer cartridge in it - every Laserjet or bubble jet printer I have ever bought has come with a complete printer cartridge.
And then to top it off - the few faxes I have received so far from three (3) different souces has some hairline marks running vertically up and down on the printed pages.
The additional items you have to purchase makes that $129.99 fax machine total to $164.34 (shipping not included) for a complete ready to go package.
I think I'll return mine and go back to using my computer fax!!!

Dell Only Nettalk Duo Voip Telephone Free Usa Canada Calling Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am usually not one to review a product, but I had to for this one. It is simply awesome. It was a simple plug and play installation for me, and you can't beat the price. I was on a local voip company before and this little unit outperforms there service for 1/10 the price. $30 a year can't be beat for the features.
One thing to keep in mind is to visit their forums. They have a list of routers that works well with this unit and a list of those that don't. Do research first, and you shouldn't have any issues.

Brother FAX-575 Personal Fax, Phone, and Copier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this to have a fax machine at home. It was easy to set up. Doesn't take up much space on the desk and you have a built in phone with caller ID, too. The copy machine part of fax makes nice clean copies, too. This wouldn't be very cost effective if you are going to receive a lot of faxes or make a lot of copies. It is great for someone like me who has to fax stuff for work occasionally and doesn't want to drive to the library and pay $2.00 a page.
