Excellent VFM with just two niggles
Very good value for the price + rechargeable internal battery, neat size & weight, clear display and full range of DAB+ stations makes this a terrific portable radio. A couple of negatives - the volume does not have a low enough option for bedside use (needs to be muffled under a pillow) and the display light is far too bright and cannot be switched off.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Rather disappointing
I bought this radio (P/N: 90070PI, right in picture) to replace an earlier model (P/N: PI00679, left in picture), in which, after 5 years' use I was no longer able to charge the internal battery, as the micro-USB socket had become internally distorted and would no longer connect (the newer radio uses the same connectors). Although the newer model has a sleeker, less angular profile, I find that in DAB/DAB+ mode the reception is often inferior, as the unit is much more susceptible to the presence or position of one's own body or that of another person, and not necessarily in the same room. This gives rise to the 'bubbling' effect on DAB, and the sound can even cut out completely. It also varies from place to place, so that, for instance, whereas I generally get good reception on, say, Classic FM, downstairs, for some reason it's worse upstairs (I would have expected the reverse) and I have to switch to FM mode. Thus I am rather disappointed in this radio's performance.

Cheap & Cheerful, but surprisingly good.
This is not an all-singing, all-dancing hi-spec multi-platform boombox. What it is is a super quality smallish lightweight DAB radio that is rechargeable (built-in li-ion battery). It has good clear reception in poor areas like Pembrokeshire and the battery life is 12-15 hours between charges. The battery life is based on my operating the radio at about a third of the top volume. The sound does not start to distort until about 80%, but anything over 60%, and you can expect a knock on the door from the neighbours. I have other DAB units at my disposal. However, this is as good quality for sound and reception as those ten times its cost. This is simply the best £20 DAB radio I believe I could have purchased, and that's high praise from me as I am not easily impressed. If you want anything more than a small radio that is just a radio then don't buy this unit. If, however, you want basic then this is a great buy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
