On my answering machine (Phonemate 9300, btw) I ask the caller to leave his name, number, and a brief message. The average person talks for 10-15 seconds, and a very long message would still be comfortably under 1 minute. (Yes, the occasional ill-mannered telemarketer will leave a 3 minute message, but this is offset by the many people who'll leave name/number/message in under 10 seconds.)

So 14 minutes of recording time is enough to hold lots of messages.

Even if I'm away from home for a week, I'll call my answering machine once every day or three, listen to my new messages, and erase as appropriate.

The only way 14 minutes recording time would prove inadequate would be if you went away on vacation and simply let the messages pile up for a couple of weeks. In which case, you might as well leave the greeting, "I'm sorry I can't answer this call; please try again after <insert date here>," and set the machine not to accept messages at all, since after a couple of weeks few messages would still be all that urgent.

And before anyone suggests voicemail, a good answering machine will offer features that voicemail doesn't usually match (a choice of several playback speeds - with slow speed particularly handy if you can't clearly hear a number or name when played back at normal speed, multiple message boxes, multiple outgoing messages, etc.).

I own this particular answering machine.

I have two complaints about it.

1.) It isn't intelligent enough to tell when someone hangs up on it, so you get a loooong blank recording.

2.) The recording itself borderlines on horrible. People end up sounding like the parents from a Charlie Brown cartoon.

My two cent review...
