Outstanding value July 25, 2008
An easy 4-star rating for value and features.
It may not be the clearest in the world, but it seems ok to me. It's easy to set up and use. Takes up less counter space than my old one.
Most of the routine stuff has already been mentioned, so I'll address these bonus features for those with Caller-ID:
~ talking (verbal announce) of CID numbers. I paid at least this much (and considerably more) for standalone talking CID boxes (the ones with programmable categories will cost more). The ability to announce unknown/unavailable (ie typically telemarketer) numbers is very worthwhile which this unit does; my other boxes silently ignore these, which is a bug IMO.
~ the option to have it silently drop "anonymous" calls. Not a must-have, but nice nonetheless.
Several reviews mention various issues I haven't experienced. For example, my unit definitely beeps at the beginning of a recording.
For less than than $20, it's not going to get better than this! If it had a white detachable power cord I would have given it 5-stars.

As with another reviewer, I got fed up with fancy voice-mail systems (requiring a monthly fee). So I ditched v-m and got this machine. It's small, it's reliable, and it sounds fine. It doesn't interfere with our phone which announces the caller, so now I can ignore "Number Not Provided" calls, get my messages without fuss, and quit paying monthly fees. The machine was very easy to set up. All I needed was a little gizmo that converts the one-jack connection at the wall into a 2-jack connection. Maybe the machine won't last a year (I've had for only two months), but if so, I'll buy a new one and still be in money!
 Basic, not great July 1, 2008

After a job change, I now work exclusively from home. I already have a second phone number for work purposes, but needed an answering system. Phone company is not yet able to provide voice mail on the second number (distinctive ring, not a separate line), so I opted for a physical answering machine. After some research, I decided on the AT&T 1739.
It arrived quickly, and set up quickly. Its biggest drawback is the poor sound quality when recording the outgoing message. You are told to speak over a minuscule condenser mic, and it took a good 4 attempts before I was remotely happy with the sound of it. You get some snow and static, no matter where you are when you record.
Other than that, it works just fine. I don't expect to use it all that much, so for the price, it was a good buy.
