Since our old Gigaset slowly gave up the ghost, we were looking for a new phone. It should be a Gigaset again because we were very happy with the old (about 10 years old). Was important to us that the base is separate, an answering machine is integrated and is called up by the handset. Our connection is on the 1st floor, but the phone should be centrally located on the ground floor. I did not ever have to walk up, neither can still listen to the AB for charging. Many did not come into question, in the end we opted for the SL910A. The recessions were mixed and the many negative reviews for the SL910A let's consider long. Nevertheless, we wanted to try it, since some seemed very pleased with it. Stylish device, well made, great feel, great display, nice ringtones ... Well, I would have liked to try it once !!! Prayer we do not even made war up and running! Get package, charge ..... hours !!!! Then, a first sign of life ... and crashed. After the 4x consecutively happened, the phone went back into the packet and return! What is the essence of it? Once again it shows that negative recessions are the ones you should read and believe. If more than a third of the clients writes, the unit is scrap and even warn are 130 Euro for good looks just too much money. Sure, some downright raving of this phone. But I think now that had A: just lucky or B: the phone never really in your hand or more than an hour in use. I bought the Gigaset SL400A ultimately, not as stylish as the SL910A, but since I can not for the use for which I bought it: to make phone calls!
