Editorial note

The Gigaset E290 is a cordless phone that stands out for its ergonomic design and practical features. With a 2-inch backlit display, it offers pleasant visibility even in low-light conditions. Additionally, the maximum range of 300 meters outdoors and advanced call management features, such as caller ID and call blocking, enhance the user experience. However, this model has some notable drawbacks. The lack of a built-in answering machine may disappoint those who wish to manage their incoming calls independently, while the absence of intercom limits communication options within the home. Furthermore, although it is ergonomic, the Gigaset E290 is not specifically designed for elderly users, which could make its use less intuitive for this audience. The indoor range of 50 meters may also prove insufficient in large houses, and the 5-hour charging time might seem long for those who need a quick recharge. In terms of performance, users will appreciate the standby time, but they may be frustrated by the charging time. The value for money is acceptable, especially considering the features offered, although the absence of certain options, such as an answering machine, may detract from the overall value proposition. In summary, the Gigaset E290 is a solid choice for those looking for a functional and aesthetically pleasing cordless phone, but it may not suit all users due to its limitations.
