Manual of product C285 Duo
Editorial note
The Gigaset C285 Duo stands out for its numerous advantages that make it a wise choice for those seeking a high-performance landline phone. Its exceptional sound quality, thanks to a quality speaker, allows for immersive and clear conversations. Additionally, the maximum range of 300 m outdoors and 50 m indoors facilitates its use in various environments. The built-in answering machine with 76 minutes of recording time and the storage capacity of 250 entries in the directory are major assets, thus simplifying the management of calls and contacts. However, a few drawbacks temper this picture. Limited compatibility with Mac systems may pose a problem for users wishing to integrate the phone into their technological environment. Furthermore, the 1.5-inch monochrome screen, while functional, may not provide an optimal visual experience, especially for those with vision difficulties. Moreover, the indoor range of 50 m may be insufficient in larger spaces, and the lack of advanced features could disappoint those looking for more connected devices. In terms of design, the island model is practical but may not suit all interior decoration styles. Despite these points, the Gigaset C285 Duo offers good value for money, considering its features and overall performance. Overall, this device meets essential needs while presenting a few limitations to consider.Score details
