Kate, Reading

Score 7.0/10

+ it is the only product on the market with all these features - DAB, IPOD,CD etc and it looks great

- the tuner is really usless as the screen is too small for the names or the font is too big making it difficult to work out the different BBC stations as the number 1 or 5 is missed off. It also has a mind of its own and just retunes all the time and will not save any station. I guess i should take it back but its all set up and the rest of it works well.

James, Newton Abbot

Score 7.0/10

+ Got everything you need, including an iPod dock, in a small compact unit. Looks good.

- Not enough control over the sound, you can only select from a few pre-defined settings and there is always too much bass. Controlling an iPod from the remote control is quite fiddly.

- When put into standby, it makes a constant buzzing noise which is very irritating!

Rich, London

Score 8.0/10

+ For a tiny unit, this can produce an impressively clear, rounded and loud sound. Throw in the fact that it's got an iPod dock built in, along with DAB and CD then for a very economical price you're getting an excellent unit for the kitchen/lounge.

- There's an annoying mains hum which comes out the speakers whenever they're not muted, this obscures the sound until you push the volume up to at least 3-4... We tried to get this fixed, but the replacement unit has the same problem, so it's likely that it's a common 'feature' for all units in this range - as such, it makes it inconvenient as a bedroom hi-fi (where you're more likely to want quiet music), but doesn't diminish its use for louder environments.

Kevin, Neath , “I am annoyed”

Score 7.0/10

+ The price is very good for the functions available. To have a CD and IPOD dock is great

- fitting the IPOD into the dock can be pain. The speakers only came with 1 cable. The product has since been returned as the CD player has packed up and will not scan any CD's

Mick, Leicester , “Hard pushed parent”

Score 9.0/10

+ Good value for money for 8-12 year olds who have any type of i-pod. Very useful for charging the i-pod whilst docked. Small footprint and good connectivity. Has the ability to accept most media types through various interfaces built-in.

- Remote not very robust
