These Gigaset phones are well made, I accidently dropped one and it still works fine. It has good sound quality and easy to set up. I have 2 suggestions to the company. 1) Make a Youtube video or instruction manual that shows you how to setup basic functions. Example: How to use answering machine (retrieve/delete/record). Basic Functions.
2) It was disappointing that these phones do not make vocal announcements of incoming calls. Most phones today have that feature.. I just downloaded the manual which has a lot more information, that should be available easier..

One of the best features is the ringer which is pleasant unlike many phones, but the directions are terrible! I cannot figure out how to set the time. The buttons are unclear and the directions are worse. I gave up trying to set the time, but did manage to get the date set...though I have no idea if it is set to the right year:-) I have mixed feelings recommending the phone because the needed directions are worthless, but many phones have terrible ring tones, so if you are sensitive to ring tones this might be the phone for you.

Overall very happy with the phone. Sound quality is good from all 3 head sets, which is the main problem I was looking to solve but sounds better if volume setting is set 1 below max level. Last set I bought from different manufacturer had 3 out of 5 headsets with good sound quality brand new. I like the look and how the Gigaset phone fits in my hand. You have to go through a screen to get to volume control which is why I put 3 stars. Guess I am just used to pushing a button on the handset up and down to control the volume, which other manufacturers have. Yes, you have to download the instructions for any real detail about the phone, but it is simple by both typing in the web address or using your cell phone camera of the data matrix to go directly to the website. Made in Germany is a plus in my opinion. 5 star rating because it is exactly what I expected for a phone set in this price range and the sound quality if better than my past phone sets.

Update: The phones are slow to respond when pushing buttons, when pushing speaker phone. Didn't think this would bother me but after only a week or so with the phones this does get annoying. With everything digital and immediate with the push of a button, this seems like very old technology with its lag time. Phone still works fine, sound quality good, but the delay with the buttons can get to you.

The phone works really well as described. my only issues were the enclosed printed manual was totally useless.I expected a decent manual for a $60 German phone, fortunately there is a 50+ page manual online.
The other issue is the phone did not automatically update to the right time on the day of the recent change
from Day Light Savings time to Standard Time.

Overall, this is a nice cordless. The missed call-light happens to be of value to me. The belt clip is highly desirable. I'd call it a winner but for the infamous tiny manual and requirement to go online for more info.
