Excellent sound (doesn't matter that it's mono). Good battery life for a portable DAB. Feels very well built. Although it's only got 4 presets, it has a 'favourite' list which remembers the last 10 listened to stations. Good rteception. Good technical back up.
-
A little heavy, but has overall feeling of being well built, so I can live with that.

After seeing my daughter-in-laws DAB radio Pure Oasis, I purchased one for my husband's birthday. He was forever getting his feet caught in the lead of my DAB radio which had to be plugged in. He loves to listen to the criket and moves the radio about the house easily or out in the garden. My sister saw our Oasis and she purchased one too!

Aerial. Although the radio can withstand wear and tear and i not sure that the protuding aerial will. It looks that if the radio was accidently knocked off a table the aerial would break. Could be wrong but that is the impression i get.

When charging the radio, the light does not come on until it has charged up for a little while, and this led to us thinking that the charger wasn't working properly. There was nothing in the booklet to indicate that this was normal

Very good product, which you can move around the house including bathroom or garden. The sound is very good with DAB locking onto channels at the touch of a button. The battery life between re-charges is excellent. The ability to plug in my MP3 player means I can listen to what I want, where I want. Highly recommended.

The display is a little hard to read unless you get up close. The battery won't charge unless its warm! I had to put mine in the airing cupboard for a while in the winter to get it to charge. An FM tuner as well would have been a good idea.
