Manual of product AL230A
Editorial note
The Gigaset AL230A stands out for several notable advantages. Its built-in answering machine, with a recording capacity of 25 minutes, allows for effective management of incoming calls, even in your absence. Additionally, its range of 50 m indoors and up to 300 m outdoors offers great flexibility of use, suitable for various environments. The backlit screen ensures optimal visibility, even in low-light conditions, and the modern and elegant design fits harmoniously into any interior. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The lack of features specifically designed for elderly people, such as a simplified interface or larger buttons, limits the accessibility of the device for this age group. Moreover, the monochrome screen, while functional, may seem less appealing compared to current color display standards. The number of entries in the directory, limited to 80, may also not be sufficient for users needing to store a large number of contacts. Finally, the absence of a vibrating alert could disappoint those who prefer discreet notifications. Regarding evaluation scores, the user experience is generally positive with a score of 78, although accessibility for elderly people is an area for improvement. The product's performance is solid, achieving a score of 85, while battery life ranks very well with a score of 90. The design receives a score of 80, highlighting its easy integration into various spaces, while the features, although practical, score 75 due to some limitations. Finally, ease of use is rated at 70, underscoring the need for a more suitable interface for an older audience.Score details
