Manual of product A170
Editorial note
The Gigaset A170 stands out for its practical features and satisfactory performance for everyday use. With an impressive range of 300 meters outdoors and 50 meters indoors, this cordless phone offers great freedom of movement while staying connected. Additionally, the ECO mode helps reduce energy consumption, promoting more sustainable use. The user experience is generally positive thanks to the backlit LCD screen and large buttons that make it easy to use, even in low-light conditions. The nickel-metal hybrid (NiMH) battery technology also ensures good battery life, with 200 hours on standby and 18 hours of talk time, which is a notable advantage for users. However, the Gigaset A170 has some drawbacks. The lack of a built-in answering machine and intercom function may limit its effectiveness for some users, particularly those who wish to manage their calls independently. Furthermore, the small monochrome screen (1.5 inches) may make viewing information less enjoyable compared to models with color screens or larger sizes. In terms of value for money, the Gigaset A170 offers satisfactory basic features for home use. However, the absence of advanced features, such as compatibility with messaging or video conferencing applications, may make it less attractive to modern users seeking versatility. Thus, while it meets essential needs, it may not suit all user profiles.Score details
