- flimsy material covers the speakers and is prone to wear and tear

+ Good quality sound,many features.Great build for its price.

- Not very easy to use at times,probably due to all the things it can do.

+ Value for Money, Functionality (MP3, DAB, Tape)

- Could be more automated - manual CD drive.

+ Plays from a huge range of media.

- Aerial is fixed - would be better if an external aerial could be fitted.

+ Looks good, sounds good, easy to operate

+ Price and functionality - size, DAB

- Sometimes starts a few secs into a CD and can repeat.

+ It looks good, and plays well, offers everything at a very good price

- We only bought the one for our daughter, should have got one for ourselves

+ Looks good and neat. Sound quality is very good for being so small and price was out of this world.

- No bad points found

+ Extremely good value for all the features included - has eco stand-by too.

- Sound quality not the best but when price is considered, ideal for all applications except perhaps dedicated listening in the living room. Perfect for kitchen, bed room etc.

+ GREAT LITTLE SYSTEM FOR THE DINNING ROOM

- we cant use the dab side of the radio

+ We have a lot of tapes and its great to find a machine which can play them. Also the USB input takes memory sticks so we can play all our downloaded tracks too.

- The DAB arial is fixed and there is no socket for a separate or rooftop arial, so we cannot received so many stations as would be possible.

+ Cheap with many forms of input.

- Misses the first 1 sec of CD playback. Not all remote control functions work correctly eg CD fast forward.

+ cheap

- sound is rubbish quality!!!!

+ easy to use and good design

- DAB radio gets interference on some stations

+ low cost,simple to use,does just what we wanted

+ Really good spec for price, USB, DAB Radio, Bass and Treble adjustment, Bass Boost, Remote etc.. Very nice modern design. Good clean sound.

- Very awkward to operate tape controls, you tend to push the unit away as you do it!

+ The design of the product looks good. It has suffiecient weight (i.e. does not move when you press a button). The sound quality is good to loud volumes and fills an average size room very well. The sleep timer and alarm functions are very useful. The USB capability is good and plays the music well. The Dynamic Bass Boost works well. The remote works from a good distance away.

- The device does not play WMA with any DRM, even if the DRM is to say it can be played, however it will play MP3s no problem. The back-light of the screen only goes off when put into Eco-Power (press Power button for 2 seconds). Unfortunately, it does not go into Eco-Power mode when the Sleep-Timer turns the unit off, so backlight remains on all night unless manually turned off, which I personally find too bright to sleep with it on.

+ It can connect to my ipod via the aux cable and has a DAB radio and is small and compact in design but still with good sound

- none

- Usb port could of been at the back rather than the front

+ quick and easy to set up, pretty good sound quality considering the price

- hard to receive DAB

+ The MP3 connectivity is brilliant. You just plug it in a play! Nice and small, since the space where I wanted to put it is limited. The Eco Power idea is excellent.

- The CD player has an audible gap between tracks, where normally you'd run smooth from one track to the next. Also, has developed buzzing sound when in Eco Power.

+ simple operation, sound perfect for small rooms

- casssette controls too stiff,unit has to be placed against a wall so it won't slip around

+ Like the sound - for the money it is very good value. Used in the bedroom so more than adequate

- None really
