Colin, Rottingdean, Brighton

+ Excellent rich stereo sound, looks great in white and benifits from the 'charge pak' facility regarding portability. Well done pure!

- No handle, but other wise great

Sarah, Reigate , “Girly, practical, relaxed”

+ This is an excellent product - although a little pricey, it is definately worth it, they do a smaller version wich would be better for those on a budget. The reception and sound quality is fantastic and believe me i am a bit of a teccy phobe and i can use it!!!!! looks pretty too - i have the white one very girly

- NONE!

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Will pay for quality”

+ Excllent sound reproduction free of all interference - in our case without even requiring extension of the integral aerial. Far better value and sytle than competing products such as Roberts. Energy saving credentials strong.

- Optional extra rechargeable battery pack is expensive - almost half the price of the radio! This option would be more attractive if any generic rechargeable battery could be installed instead.

Billy, London

+ Perfect sound quality.
Nice compact size.
Good features.

- No designated buttons for presets, confusing for 'elders' so 8 for ease of use.
No handle = 8 score for portability.
Although the casing looks & feels very nice, it does collect fingerprints too easily.
Aeriel snapped near base on mine but probably owing to carelessness!

+ We take ours camping and it's great. Good sound quality - and the soft outer shell plastic looks and feels fantastic and really different. Also the stop, pause and rewind is really good.

- Can some times squeak and crackle if aerial isn't in the right position. But other than that can't fault it!

jonny, Kirkby In Ashfield

+ Easy enough for the wife to operate

- Can't turn the alarm 'off' without switching the radio 'on'
Also, no night light as such i.e. in the dark, I can't see what time it is having less than perfect eyesight.

Ken, Ashington

+ With two speakers in the stereo radio they are under less stress at fairly high volume than the single speaker in the equivalent mono radeio.

- None but the giving information should be bigger.

+ It is compact and pretty easy to use.

- The sound quality is rather thin. The volume control whilst on a rotary knob goes in increments with the first level being at a higher level that I would have liked.

David, London

+ sound qaulity is excellent

- Volume control is in digital steps and cannot be taken down to as low a level as I would like for listening while in bed.
The digital clock dose not have a back light option when the radio is off, simply you can't see the time at night when the radio is off.

John, Telford

+ Tuning is quick. reception is excellent. I use radio 5 live a lot and Medium wave reception in the house was awefull in the evenings. This is now clear and loud.
Sound volume goes quite high.
Plenty of presets

- Best not to buy white (like I did) as it tends to show up the dirt! - but it does wipe off easily.
