Excellent radio - bought for mother-in-law and she loves it. Simple enough to set up (for me!) and operate (for her!!). She says this DAB radio has opened up a whole new world of clarity for her listening choices. Loves it so much, she's bought another for her cousin. Would highly recommend this item.

well I bought it as a Christmas gift for my technophobe septuagenarian mum and when testing it with her I was very happy to find that she could easily work it out for herself. It's to replace her 1950's ghetto blaster.
I actually would like one for myself and really love the design of it - simple tasteful design and decent sound quality for the price.

I would probably be looking towards the solar powered options now with DAB radios.

MP3 player capability is a let down. I was expecting a USB port to connect my MP 3 player but it is just a standard phone line so it uses the battery in the MP3 player as well as the power to operate the Pure DAB radio.
