Liked it so much I bought another one Sent: 04 January 2009
I got one of these to try out the 'new' digital radios. After I had it for a while, it was so good I bought another one.
WYSIWYG Sent: 02 January 2009
I liked this radio so much I bought a second on as a present for my Father.
The radio itself isn't the most svelt piece of kit you'll ever come across - certainly bigger than a lot of FM radios on the block. But it looks nice and unobtrusive in the black.
It's a great DAB radio that does exactly what it should do - it plays DAB channels without any fuss. It's easy to use, easy to setup and sounds pretty good. Anyone who's worried about finding DAB too technical shouldn't worry with this radio - if you can use a microwave or similar you can use this.
Over 2 years of daily use and still going strong... !  Sent: 02 December 2008
I bought this DAB radio over 2 years ago on the strength of a favourable review in Which? magazine. I got it to use in work where the reception on traditional FM radios was notoriously poor, but this DAB radio picks up far more stations than I ever listen to, and the results were so impressive that two of my colleagues went straight out and bought the same radio. All three of them are still going strong despite some rough treatment and constant daily use.
The radio provides a good clear sound with plenty of volume for a small unit. It's easy to use with all of the controls handily placed in the same area at the front of the radio rather than spread across the sides and top. It has a handy display panel showing not just the station that you're tuned in to but also signal strength, volume and a digital clock.
About the only niggle I've found is that it doesn't have a proper carrying handle, but as I don't move it very far that's not much of a complaint.
Highly recommended for the money.
