I ordered one and the speakers didn't work at all, which was disappointing, contacted amazon and they replaced it within only a few days, excellent service.
The second one arrived and the small black face plate that surrounds the display was not where it should be and was stuck to the left speaker area, this was easily fixed but again, a bit disappointing.
The unit is very easy to set up, you just plug in and it tunes itself to the available radio stations and sets it's own time and date too. The DAB reception is not that reliable but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and say that I may be in a poor reception area??
The handset is a token item really, it's useful for switching off the stereo without getting out of bed but, is not very responsive. If you have the patience, you are able to control the ipod via the handset to a degree, which is quite useful.
After listening to songs from my ipod, I found the sound to be also a bit disappointing. There seems to be a wealth of treble and not much warmth, but after a while I realised that maybe I was expecting a bit much from a £90 stereo with such small speakers. It is obviously never going to compare to a Denon amplifier with kevlar speakers because it only costs £90.
This unit also charges your ipod - very useful.
So long as you remember that it is a cheap stereo, you will realise that the sound is quite adequate for the bedroom and once you finds it's optimal volume - about 5 or 6 - it actually does have a fairly sweet and pleasant tone for a unit of this size.
If you want a seriously clear and warm sounding stereo - spend a lot more money.

I bought this product based on reviews I've seen, but here is my take on it now:
- Sound is not as good as people have claimed. I turn up the volume slightly and it is already distorted
- Remote control unresponsive. You have to point directly at the radio, and even then, it is not totally responsive.
- Some problems recognizing my Iphone 3GS, which I solved by unplugging / replugging from the wall
Can't complain about the DAB and FM Radio. They work fine. Alarm clock is good, but why shouldn't it be. Design is very nice and blends well with my bedroom.

I absolutely agree with the 2* reviews, the sound quality is very dissapointing, lack of treble, distorting at high volume.. some problems with the remote controller, it also has some problems finding signal for DAB radio.
Very dissappointing...

Pleased that I bought it.
Seeing the product discounted to £50, tempted me to buy. Very glad that I did, as the DAB reception is very much better that other DAB radios in the house. Read more

This radio was sold as being suitable for an iPod connection. It does not work. The product was therefore sold under false pretences, in my view. Read more
