First off, the call blocking feature is *chef's kiss*. After years of dinner interruptions by robocalls, pressing that dedicated block button feels like revenge. The handset actually ANNOUNCES scam numbers in a sassy robot voice—I’ve started a game of guessing if it’s ‘Card Services’ or ‘IRS’ before the AI says it.

The oversized buttons? Game-changer for my grandma. She no longer ‘accidentally’ calls the pizza place instead of her bingo buddy. The backlit keypad glows like a tiny UFO in her dim living room, and the speakerphone volume goes loud enough to startle her cat (a plus).

Warning: The base feels like it’s made of recycled cereal boxes—I knocked it over while unplugging and expected disaster, but somehow it survived. Also, Bluetooth absence hurts when I want to merge my cell chaos with this landline oasis.

Pro tip: Pair this with VOIP service. I did, and now telemarketers weep into their headsets when my phone auto-blocks them mid-ring. 10/10 would recommend just for the peace.
