+ It looks cool. The features are good and it all works well. It does everything I need it to do such as, play CD's and play my Ipod. The radio is easy to use and the DAB is easier. It's also easy to select what you would like to use. The sound is good quality and sounds great even at a low volume.

- The touch wheel takes some getting used to, it's hard to press the buttons if you're new to it.

+ looks good, good colour,

- in the front of the two speakers the centre tweeter could easily be damaged by children and by cleaning. the soft material is not protected in any way, above it and below it they r protected.
