David, Notttigham

Score 8.0/10

+ Attrative case & easy to use controls, clear display. No problems with reception even though we are in a poor reception area

- Sound is a little too bassy. There is no tone control which for the price of the set is a big minus point. The bassy sound can make speech difficult to hear in a noisy kitchen

Helen, Marlow, Bucks

Score 9.0/10

+ Small, neat, attractive design. We live in a poor reception area and had steered clear of digital portable radios but the reception is excellent on this radio. We would certainly recommend it. It is worth ordering the battery pack at the same time as the radio.

Anon., Cardiff

Score 9.0/10

+ Clarity is excellent; auto dimmer display is rather neat; When I recieved the unit I jus got straight on with using it - I didn't bother with the instruction manual. I like the idea of a low power consumption when in stand-by; I am so pleased with it, I bought a 2nd one as a gift

- No sleep timer - I cannot swap this unit with other DAB radio in the bedrom (which has not got an auto display dimmer)

+ Perfect clear display with screensaver action and autodimming at night.
Very good reception and smooth and rounded sound quality for easy listening.

- There are lots of different setting available which involves a lot of menus and sub-menus to navigate. Could do with a different weekend alarm setting but that would further add to the menus.
