GE 29875GE1 Digital Messaging System with Voice Time and Day Stamp - White

I bought this answering machine today at Walmart. I didn't like it the second I plugged it in.

1. Set up is annoying, for example to set up the time you must listen to a recording say "1 am, 2 am, 3 am, 4 am ...", same for the minutes, etc. You must go through this tedious process each time the power goes out.

2. I recorded my outgoing memo, and it sounded horrible. Sounded like I was talking into a tin can.

3. I set the recording time for three minutes, I called myself to leave the "test message," the message I left was under 45 seconds, and it seemed like the answering machine got the whole message. When I previewed the message, the machine cut off after 10 seconds!

4. The 10 seconds the machine actually recorded, had horrible sound quality. Very tinny sounding.

I noticed on the reviews for the AT&T answering machine, many people complained about sound quality, a reviewer said the reason for the sound quality issues was they were not using a DSL filter, I assure you I am using a DSL filter and this is not the issue. This GE answering machine is simply a terrible product.

I got this machine for $15, and wasn't expecting anything amazing, but this is really horrible quality. GE should be embarrassed to be selling this product. Do not buy this product, if you do I assure you, you too will be returning it.

Don't buy this item. It's a waste of money. Unless your friend speaks loud, this answering machine cannot recognize his/her voice. As a result, as opposed to his/her claim that s/he did leave a message with it, you only find it saying "there's no new message left." GE should recall this item. It's a total crap.

This is totally not an acceptable product. It would cut the incoming phone call during recording, no recording, and many "funny" functions that not list on the manual. This is not a good and reliable product, just waste money, and I got them all return. I believed that it has design problem and should be re-called. Never buy any GE answering machines, use it as your own risk.

This was a fine cheap answering machine for about two years. Then anytime we used the phone attached to it, we'd get horrible static on the line, and only playing with the wire connecting it to the answering machine would help, although sometimes it would just disconnect the call. It does seem to miss calls on occasion. It wasn't the worst one I've had, but we got this one really cheap, and you get what you pay for on this one.

This thing worked for about 2 years then all of a sudden just started dropping messages randomly for no reason; lucky I started testing it with my cell phone. I'm not buying any GE answering machines; nor shopping at Fry's (I've got 2 defective products there, this and a Panasonic DVD player, both of which were on sale) I think Fry's puts the crummy products on sale to unload them quickly.
