We have tried digital radios before and the reception was terrible. However this Pure One radio is excellent. I can't fault this radio at all. Superb.

None.

Appearance and sound quality

Batteries run out in shart time

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.

Very easy to use and a great sound quality for the size of the unit.

Great reception.

No handle.

v good value for a dab radio. ease of use, design

reception quality fluctuates a bit e.g. if you're very near to it. however, not a major issue. sound quality isn't great but considering the price paid, its more than adequate.

Good Sound, but signal flucuates which distorts the quality

Volume control difficult to use, to shiny and slippery

Has proved durable so far and sports a popular brand name.

Materials feel cheap, doesn't pick up as many stations as my colleague's radio and having to use the volume dial to change the station isn't ideal.

Crystal clear reception, even in the basement. Handy LCD display which keeps me from permanently asking "What's this song?".

Conventional batteries run down very quickly, otherwise it's a great little radio.

clear reception

Best value for money DAB I could find, super sound quality for the size and great reception in an area known for problems with digital broadcasts i.e. poor freeview etc.

Display could be better

Dead simple to use. Clear and informative display. Cool design and can use batteries.

A little tempremental with location to pick up all stations

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.

Compact size, very simple to set-up, clear sound with very good reception - no need even to extend the aerial.

Display is a little cramped limiting the amount of information that can be seen at any one time.

Very good sound for such an inexpensive piece of kit.

None really

good quality low cost DAB radio

initial set up instructions not entirely clear

Its fantastic - easy to use and very clear. Light and portable.

We cannot get Capital Radio on it - can you advise why? Capital radio talk about your radios and getting clearer Capital but we can only get capital on our old radios in the house and car!

Sound and battery use

For an old man instructions could be simpler

Stylish looking and very easy to use. The sounds quality is excellent for such a small unit.

None

Great looking, light-weight and crystal clear reception, bought it for my boyfriend to take to work and he raves about it.

LCD is a little small...if I was being picky. Also the lead isn't too fond of rough treatment, although Pure seem to have addressed this and made it a little bit tougher of late.

Style, size and looks

Reception not as good as previous FM radio

excellent price, receives dab stations better than my other 3 radios, and considering price and size cannot fault the sound. Even stereo output jack.

None

really excellent value for money

excellent reception andound quality.

Design could be better

easy to set it up and good quality

Excellent sound quality and reception.

Some controls are a bit fiddly

display difficult to read, too small letters, impossible in poor light,eg bedside lamp

Excellent sound quality for a budget cost

Fiddly main control - need to use two hands to work the main push button

Reasonable sound, good reception, excellent value for money. Charge pak facility a bonus.

Back lit feature goes out too quickly.

excellent sound quality

Easy to programme and use

Feels very lightweight if batteries not in it - the display does not stay on for long enough - either stays on all the time which is very annoying at night or only stays on for about 10 seconds - could do with a dimmer switch so that it can be left on permanently at night

This radio was purchased as a present but I have contacted the owner who is very pleased with results

It is not easy to finfd and save radio stations.

Sound quality

Intelitext not needed

easy setup

display too small

Compact design - ideal kitchen radio. Good sound quality for its size.

Could do with a larger screen. The present size makes stations tuned in difficult to see for older people Arrangement of buttons round central volume / enter button can be confusing until one gets used to it, but it does give a good choice of options.

It was purchased for the features advertised and the good publicity rating and this radio meats all the stated qualities

none

compact

sound quality very harsh on pop music & high frequencies

Value for money

operating the functions, and could do with a handle

Ease of Use

Pre-set may need doing twice to store

easy to use - it's added a whole new listening world to my partner's working day ( bought it for him as a pressie)

It is light, easy to use and has a great tone

It looks very good but could be in other colours.

none

hard to understand how to tune in-potty screen. Not a product to use without instruction book radios of the fifties were better.

easy to use with a clear sound. The 20 preset stations are easy to use overall very satisfieds with the purchase

I am having great trouble finding the c6x charge pak to make the radio portable

Great sound for bathroom anyway!

Display not that clear.

Cheap

Multi function big dial not intuative

The rolling scroll is a nice touch, when listening to Classic FM for instance you can always check for the sp on the current track. Upgradeable too, invaluable!

Basically none.

Exactly what we were looking for at a very competitive price. Sound quality so much better than analogue and reception excellent anywhere, even with aerial retracted. Great to have the extra channels

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.

Excellent reception.

Little on the big side.

Compact. Attractive. Very good reception and sound quality.

Have yet to discover any!

everything. it's just pure magic.

Good design DAB and FM Truly portable Easy to use

Have to purchase rechargeable battery separately. Quite expensive for what it is.

Good value for money. Very happy with sound quality, easy to use. Have now purchased one for myself and another as a gift for my daughter

Have not discovered any so far.

nice looking radio. Good reception too

none

It was nicely designed

Reception wasnt good enough for me so i bought a roberts digital radio and it was much nicer.

Clear reception, easy to set up, absoutely wonderful in fact

None

Very good radio, Excellent reception, Small and compact.

Looks cheap

Good sound quality

Signal can cut out quite often.

Good sound for mono, easy to use and looks good in the new kitchen.

very plastic and sometimes poor reception which is strange cos it doesn't move location.

I found it dead easy to get the two stations I most use and although we live in a very bad reception area I find ever station I am interested in available although I can only get LBC on analogue.

I can't get the hang of storing more than two stations but this is probably more a function of my age, 80+, rather than the set.

Good clear sound. Good quality for a cheaper end of scale model. More channels than I thought I could get. Modern but tasteful looking. I like the white.

Took a minute or two to sort out how to change channels but easy once I knew.

Looks good picks up stations quickly.Easy to use.Digital stations very good.I bought it because my son had one, I was originally going to get a more expensive one but was really impressed with the quality of the Pure.

Can't pick up Capitol Radio on Digital, thats only my really problem with it

Utterly simple operation, just turn on and you're away. Great sound, fills a kitchen easily without distortion. Presets are easy to set, the Kitchen Timer is a welcome addition. Display shows time when on standby, and can also be set to always have the backlight on (when in operation)

Pressing the big centre button to select presets/stations requires you to support the unit from behind as it's not heavy enough to let you press the button without wobbling backwards, if you see what I mean. Screen is a bit small, but not too small. Has an external power adapter rather than taking a standard stereo power lead, but this isn't particularly an issue.

Attractive, easy to us and sounds very good.

Rechargeable battery (option) is very expensive

The sound clarity. Pre set stations. Ease of set up when first using. Ability to self charge batteries whilst still operating on mains cable. The portability and ease of cleaning of unit.

Cannot receive Long wave (need shipping forcast). Length of required ariel.
