Hi all. Looking to buy a new cordless phone for my mum for Christmas as the ones she had all broke. They were quite bad to be honest 
She had a Panasonic one and a Siemens Gigaset one. Both had quite bad battery life and not very good sound quality.
I'm not too fussed on the make, as long as it is good (i.e. will last more than a few months) and it has a good battery life. Anything else is a bonus (although a large screen/backlight would be preferred, it is not a requirement). No need to have any fancy stuff like answering machines and address/phone books. We don't have a huge house so the signal distance just needs to be standard. I'm unsure if I want to go single or dual, although I would prefer dual if the price is right. I am willing to spend up to/around €50 for a good cordless phone (or pair of cordless phones). Triple is definitely overkill.
I looked through old threads (most recent being mid 2013) and the main suggestions were Panasonic and Siemens Gigaset. Now I would have preferred to stay away from these brands due to bad previous experiences, but if they are still the top dog, I might chalk my previous experience down to luck (or lack of). I've done some reaserch, and found some nice Panasonics, but I was wondering whether people con direct me to the right phone(s). A vendor which delivers to Malta would be preferred. Thanks
