Edward, London, “A discerning buyer”

+ Its so easy to use that even my wife, who admits she is a yoyo with electronic equipment was able to set it up quite easily and is totally happy with it, especially the reception. She reckons that it is much better than a previous DAB that she had Its also very neat and compact.

- None that we can think of.

+ It is very sleek and stylish. The control for changing station is very good and it does offer FM for non digital stations.

- The buttons are quite small, not particularly a problem for me but could be for others. The display scrolls quite slowly and if you are trying to read it and turn up the volume at the same time you lose the information for a minute.

- Standard batteries used up very quickly (esp if accidentally left on) so sensibly you have to buy one of the rechargeable battery packs which are very expensive.Frustrating but at least a 1-off.
