Editorial note
The Gigaset AL117A stands out for several advantages, including its maximum range of 300 meters outdoors, providing great flexibility of use in various environments. Its impressive standby time of 130 hours and 12 hours of talk time allows for prolonged use without the need for frequent recharges. Additionally, the integrated ECO mode helps reduce energy consumption, which is a plus for those concerned about the environment. Its modern and elegant design, combined with a cordless handset, makes it easy to integrate into any type of interior. Furthermore, the programmable shortcut keys and navigation button enhance the user experience by making access to features quicker. However, there are some drawbacks to note. The lack of a built-in answering machine may be a hindrance for users wishing to manage their missed calls independently. Additionally, the indoor range of only 50 meters may prove insufficient for large homes. The absence of GAP compatibility also limits the options for expanding the phone system with other handsets. The small monochrome screen (1.4") may not be suitable for everyone, especially users with visual impairments. Finally, although the phone is functional, it is not specifically designed for elderly people, which could make its use more complex for this age group. In terms of performance, the Gigaset AL117A receives satisfactory scores, with a rating of 85 for its overall performance and 90 for battery life. The design is also well-rated with a score of 80, while the user experience receives a score of 78 thanks to its practical features. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of usability with a score of 65, highlighting challenges for some users in specific situations.Score details
