Its telescoping crossbar extends from 110 to 180 cm and accepts tops from 120 up to 200 cm long, longer than the other Flexispot frames here. It also lifts quickly, at a stated 38 mm per second.

In its favour
- It accepts tops from 120 up to 200 cm long, longer than the other frames here.

- Flexispot quotes a 5-year frame and 3-year motor warranty.
Good to know
- The listing describes 230 V input for Germany, France and Spain, so check the plug type for UK sockets.
- Motor count is not stated in the listing, unlike the E6 MAX.
Our take
Top size and range
Top depth can be 60 to 80 cm and length 120 to 200 cm, so a 200 x 80 cm double workstation is possible. The three-stage legs cover 60 to 123 cm, suiting shorter users seated and most tall users standing. The silver frame weighs about 35 kg packed, so plan for two people when carrying and assembling it.
Speed, load and controls
At 38 mm per second, the E3S is the quickest frame in the Flexispot line-up, which makes frequent sit-stand changes less of a wait. It supports up to 100 kg. A programmable keypad stores three presets. The listing does not say how many motors are used, unlike the E6 MAX and E5, which both state two.
Three presets cover a seated height, a standing height and one spare, which is enough for a single user but tighter if two people share the desk.
Power supply and warranty
This is the DE version, described as 230 V for Germany, France, Spain and similar markets. UK mains is also 230 V, but the plug supplied is likely to be a continental type, so check the plug and whether an adapter is needed before ordering. Flexispot quotes 5 years on the frame and 3 years on the motor, which matches the brand's other mid-range frames.
Where it fits among Flexispot frames
The Flexispot E6 MAX reaches a little higher at 125 cm, adds two USB ports and an LED readout, but stops at 180 cm tops. The Flexispot EC5W adds a third column for long or corner tops, with four presets. The E5 three-stage frame gives four presets and published dynamic and static loads. The E3S is the one for the longest straight boards and quick lifting.
Verdict
Choose the Flexispot E3S if you want to fit a top up to 200 cm long and value fast lifting, and you are happy to sort out a UK plug. If you want USB charging, the Flexispot E6 MAX is better equipped, and for extra support under a long or corner top the Flexispot EC5W adds a third column.
