'Sturdy and practical'

Strengths:
Good looking and very sturdy.

Weaknesses:
None really

Overall:
Solid and compact unit with the option of DAB or FM. Ten preset buttons (five really, but there’s an option button to double them up) means plenty of room for favourite stations.
It has decent bass levels for such a small unit but you won’t get anywhere near the full volume setting without distortion on heavier music. Not the most distinctive DAB radio around though, and not the cheapest either.

'GOOD DAB SET LET DOWN BY POOR BUILD QUALITY'

Overall:
I bought one of these based on the previous review. Overall its a very good DAB set that "does what it says on the box". A year into ownership however and the on/off push button has failed (always on) and the volume control potentiometer is getting noisy. Unfortunately its now out of warranty so its time to get the screwdriver out and order some spares from Maplins!
