Test report: Switel Vita DC5001 Seniortelefon
The Switel DC5001 VITA uno Seniortelefon is, according to the manufacturer, the perfect senior telephone. We have tested this for you to convince us personally of the information.
Design and scope of delivery
The inexpensive Switel DC5001 VITA and senior phone would certainly never get the price for the best design. But the design is really secondary to the various practical possibilities that it offers. The black cordless telephone has a large display, on which the numbers are shown so large that these can be easily read by people with a visual weakness. Not only the display has a background lighting, but also the large practical buttons. Even the base station has a small lamp at the extended part so that the base station can not be overlooked in the dark and can be pushed by the table by chance. Thus, even in a darkened room can be easily telephoned. The phone is very good and handy in the hand. The keys are also very easy to operate. In addition to the handset, the base station is also supplied with sufficient stability. The scope of delivery includes the base station, the handset also a telephone connection cable, 2 batteries and a user manual. The batteries are ordinary AAA 1.2V NiMH batteries, which we find advantageous.Equipment and function
The Switel DC5001 VITA and Seniortelefon is equipped with very large keys as well as with a large and clear display. The ringer can be set up to 80 dB. The handset volume can be adjusted up to 30 dB. Therefore, this phone can also be used in people with certain hearing impairments. The ringtone is so loud that it is easy to hear in every living room. At the quality of the transmission of the conversation during the telephone conversation we had nothing to complain about. In addition, the Switel DC5001 VITA uno Seniortelefon is compatible with hearing aids. You can select between 12 different ringtones. It has a hands-free kit that allows you to make calls without the handset having to be put into the hand. The two direct dial buttons offer the possibility to call up the most frequently selected contacts via a push button. The Switel DC5001 VITA and the senior telephone have an answering machine integrated, which can record up to 57 messages. Since all functions are only activated via the handset, we missed at least the direct dial keys on the base station. In addition, it would be very good if the base station could receive the call. But at such a low price this can not be expected.Price-performance ratio
The Switel DC5001 VITA and Seniortelefon is equipped with a seniority and offers sufficient sound and voice quality. In addition, both the display and the buttons are very clear. The design leaves something to be desired as well as the entire processing, but the Switel DC5001 VITA and senior phone is available at a price of 39.86 euros. Thus, a very good price / performance ratio can be spoken.Conclusion
The Switel DC5001 VITA uno Seniortelefon is superbly equipped despite its low price. Although the design could be better, the mobile station is very handy and easy to use. The large display with background lighting is very clear, even for people with low vision. Since the keys are also equipped with a backlight, it is quite possible to make calls even in darkened rooms. So that the base station can not be overlooked in the dark, the extended part is equipped with a lighting.
Apart from that, the Switel DC5001 VITA and Seniortelefon offers sufficient sound and voice quality. By means of two different direct dialing buttons, the desired stored number can be easily selected via a print. The phone also has an integrated answering machine that can record over 50 messages.
In our test we only missed the direct dial keys on the base station. Because the handset is out of reach, the possibility of receiving or even starting a call via the base station is a really helpful function.
But at such a low price such a function can not really be expected. The integrated answering machine, which often does not have much more expensive models, has surprised us. Because the manufacturer has obviously made a real effort to bring this phone a senior citizen right to the market.
The Switel DC5001 VITA and senior phone offers everything that seniors really need: high functionality. Therefore, we can recommend this cheap and practical Seniortelefon quietly.
