+ Amazing Quality Product. Makes any other Digital Technology look rubbish!

- Let down this morning by slightly poor refurb quality. Put headphones in which work took them out to find no sound at all coming from unit. This was very worrying but was fixed by smacking back of product!!! Bit worried about this!

+ Excellent value digital clock radio with good sound quality.

- Would be better if there were 10 separate buttons for the 10 pre-set stations. Dependent on mains power - could be improved by a battery power back-up.

+ Looks great, doesn't take up much space (so great as a clock radio). Design is fabulous and the snooze handle is a triumph

- Controls are not entirely intuitive (but easy enough with a quick scan of the manual!)

+ Excellent sound quality. Very easy to tune and VHF and MW confusion is history swapping MW / VHF history.

- Bit fiddly setting up some things and only 10 preset channels.

+ Pleasing design and great sound from such a small box, multiple alarms setting very useful.

- Display too bright, could do with a dimmer rather than just two choices.

+ TEMPUS 1....Product excellent, and probably the best on the market!.

- Refurb dodgy and was still faulty, but was replaced by new Tempus 1 radio which is the one that gets the excellent reviews from me. Refurb I couldn't comment on.

+ It worked with the fitted aerial, and with the grippy feet does not slip when pushing the buttons. The 3 alarms was the key point why I chose this model.

- Cant figure out how to turn off the radio alarm (ie it gets louder till you turn it off) but leave the radio on.

+ Once it is tuned & organised it is great. Sound is clear and the display is informative.

- Initial tuning can be a problem for some. We have one and get on fine with it but an older relative has problems with the one that we purchased for her.

+ To be fair, the first radio I purchased was perfect, just like new, so on the strength of that I bought a second one.

- On the second set, The sound kept on getting louder and couldn't be reduced
and the display was faulty. I returned it and had a replacement, but unfortunately, the replacement had identical faults, I couldnt be bothered to return that one and have decided to live with it!

- THe display is so so so slow at scrolling the information, you have to stand there a while to find out the name of the tune. The volume button stopped working so ended up having to take it back which is why my overall rating is low.
