james, Newark

+ One of the reasons for buying this model was that it has plenty of pre-set stations which saves all the fiddly and usually critical tuning , plus the excellent auto-tune set-up when first switching on after unpacking .

- A pity that the A/C Transformer couldn't be built into the radio , together with a mains lead storage pocket for when the radio is being used as a portable , on batteries . The slight increase in size required would be no detriment to this very compact unit .

David, Telford, Shropshire , “Love DAB radio now. ”

+ Sound quality is brilliant especially with headphones where the stereo is great on DAB. Can't assess battery life they haven't conked out yet!

- Can't think of any bad points.

Phil, Cheshire

+ Easy set up and easy to use, good clear large display, 5 presets on each of DAB and FM, clear sound.
Ideal for kitchen which was the main purpose.

- Quite large transformer - but perhaps all other makes are like this too?

Mollie, Nr. Wantage , “I prefer the radio.”

+ A very neat and compact design - easy to use and instructions easy to follow. Sound very good, no interference (like the other two radios I had). Useful to operate with a battery, when power cuts occur or to use outdoors. Light to carry around and it is just what I wanted.

- None

Sharon, Woodbridge

+ Its a lovely radio good design and easy to use and very good tuning on the channels,but..

- When we set it up for digital we only got very limited channels...we should have looked into this in greater detail. The coverage is limited in East Anglia.We look forward to the improvement.I wouldn't change it though.

+ Good sound, pleasant looking, easy to use pre-sets, but a bit fiddly if you want to use another station

- Transformer means it needs to be switched off at plug when not in use. Only 5 dab presets.

+ Build quality and sound excellent. Very long battery life if used off the mains (in the bathroom for example).

- Only five preset station buttons. Design of the case might not be to everyone's taste.

Barrie, Cheddar

+ Compact, with very good sound for its size. Easy to tune and use. Very sensitive, good reception with DAB in all rooms of my house, where other DAB radios have really struggled.Excellent radio.

- Not yet sure if battery life is as good as claimed, yet to prove itself.
