I got this DAB portable for £40 yesterday in Argos. So far, I'm impressed with it - especially for the price. It's a stereo model,with 2 small speakers which go quite loud, with little distortion (up to 20). It also has an FM tuner, takes batteries (6, 'C' size) and has a normal mains lead (no transformer). The sound has real 'oomph' with pretty good bass and a nice top-end. It also has an alarm and sleep-timer. The only bugbear (so far) is that it only has 8 presets - 4 for DAB and 4 for FM. 4 presets for DAB is not nearly enough. But for 40 quid, you can't knock this radio. I'll give it 4 stars (out of 5) - it would have got 5 if it had more presets. Definitely recommended (so far).

I am on my second one as neither of the ones i've bought so far work on battery power. The batteries are good (they work fine on my other radio!) which means this product is useless if you want it for a roaming set. This is such a shame cos I really love it. Does anyone have any solutions before I get my money back?

Kit, I had problems with batteries on mine. I found it was due to bad contacts between the 6 batteries. I found if you moved the batteries around, got the unit to work, and then put the back on, it was ok. It does tend to eat them quickly though - but most DAB radios do alas.
