Panasonic KX FL511

Pros: Promises what it cannot deliver but sounds feasible

Cons: It will make you buy a gun and shoot it

The Bottom Line: If you buy this machine, you should have your head examined. It's worthless.

Review: This fax worked fine for the first six months or so. The next 12 were a nightmare. I often had to stand over it and feed it one page at a time to get it to fax. It constantly jams. It makes me want to pick it up and throw it through a plate glass...

Pros: chic look

Cons: it is not durable

Review: At first glance this fax machine looks like everything that you'll ever need but you guys should be aware of the details of this machine before purchasing. At first use of this machine everything worked quite well but just after a few months the...

Pros: Cost

Cons: Really too many to list. Frustration more than anything!

The Bottom Line: Wouldn't recommend this at all

Review: We purchased this machine today and tried to set it up. The paper kept jamming and even when the paper wasn't jammed, it still read it was and you couldn't do anything. I unplugged the machine in an attempt to reset it. No luck, so I called...

Pros: Large, readable buttons

Cons: Poor customer service, complicated procedures for fixing paper jams, overall poor quality.

Review: While this fax machine is relatively user friendly, it started jamming repeatedly after one year, to the point where it would not send a fax at all. Customer service was rude and unhelpful, and after trying all of their solutions, the fax would...

Pros: I see no pros associated with this unit.

Cons: Large and bulky, poor intake mechanism prone to significant and frustrating paper jams.

Review: A key component that is usually considered a standard part of a fax machine, the printer drum, is considered as an accessory in this unit. The ink cartridge too, is considered an accessory. The accessory drum costs a little over $100 retail and the...

Pros: Cost.

Cons: Does not operate well at all. Bad machine choice.

Review: This Panasonic machine is a nightmare. Every time we need to send a fax, we dread standing over the machine, feeding ever gently each page one at a time. This machine cannot handle more than a one page fax on its own. Also, trying to make sense of...

Pros: Cheap Toner. Crisp Resolution. Fax operation easy to understand.

Cons: Will not store multiple faxes to different numbers.

Review: This product is great if you need a copy machine and fax machine in one. Operation is easy to understand. Not as cheaply made as Brother or Canon. Toner is very cheap compared to a stand alone copy machines.

Pros: User Friendly

Cons: Too large

Review: Worst Fax Machine I have ever used. Feeds all or several pages at one time. DO NOT purchase this one! Panasonic support no help. The actually told me to feed one page at a time, what does automatic mean to them? Good copies, however. User friendly.

Pros: Clear printing.

Cons: Chronically non operational.

Review: This machine is prone to frequent breakdown. The only form of effective tech support provided by Panasonic puts the customer on a waiting list for a replacement (current wait time is more than two weeks). In addition, there are two components (drum...

Pros: Reliability

Cons: paper needs are picky

Review: This has been a great, no-nonsense fax machine that hasn't required tons of toner ink. We bought it in Sept 05 and only now (Feb 07) it is requiring a new drum. In my experience, that's a long life for a drum.
The only drawback that comes to...
