5.0 out of 5 stars I love it, 30 Jun 2006
By L. Davies "mrselnombre" (Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So easy to use, so nice to look at, so easy to handle. A brilliant bargain, I love it. Radio reception in my house is normally awful, but with this I can pick up 19 stations downstairs and 31 up. I'm a happy bunny. The menu system is very easy to navigate and once you get the basics you'll never need to use the manual again.
Remember to check the availability of signal in your area before buying a DAB radio, or better still borrow a friends, as the availability charts aren't very accurate, it says I can only recieve 7 channels.
Shame the chargepak is so expensive, but worth it if you want to listen away from a mains supply frequently. I bought 6C batteries, and they kept it going for a reasonable amount of time but it would be expensive if i wanted to take it away from mains power.
Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does exactly what it says on the tin!, 26 April 2007
By F. Boasman (Bucks, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this for my husband for christmas as he had been angling after a DAB radio for months.
I invested in the - what seemed expensive at the time - battery pack too.
I have to say the radio is FABULOUS!
It is light, easy to use, so simple to program and, with its clean lines, not as cheesy looking as many of the other DAB radios available.
I have had no problem with getting a signal at all, anywhere in the house - which is unsual in my house, as it has more solid internal walls than more modern properties. It is great in the garden, too.
I am so glad that I invested in the Li-ion battery pack as well, because it lasts for DAYS, it automatically recharges the next time you plug it in - and you can still listen at the same time as it charges. I keep on thinking of all those batteries I would be using, or having to swap around if I was using rechargeable AAs....

You can tell that, although it was bought for my husband, I have, ummm, borrowed it a few times........

5.0 out of 5 stars Dont Delay DAB - go for The ONE !, 9 Jun 2006
By Ant (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have resisted the temptation to buy DAB since I live in an area where it is very difficult to receive FM and television signals, side of a hill and everything. Also put off by the generally over £100 price tags of decent makes - eg PURE which always gets excellent reviews. When I saw the One advertised I went for it - and I am NOT DISAPPOINTED. It picks up a vast number of stations, all the main BBC ones no trouble, in fact I think only three or four stations in this area can't be received. And the FM reception is vastly superior to any other radios in the house.

This is an attractive radio - I actually have the white one, I think the black one looks a bit cheaply plastic, whereas the white is cool - my daughter preferred the pink one. Huge extending aerial seems the reason for the good station pickup. Good sound, with reasonable bass. ALthough there's only one speaker it picks up stereo and has a stereo headphone jack to plug in your hi-fi if you need it. 20 presets, which you access by pushing the preset button and turning the big dial to choose your favourite - pushing the dial acts like an enter key. You get to choose options for what appears on the display, you can update its software through a USB port (obviously not needed to do this yet) and its even got sleep and wake-up timers on it. A great boys toy...

As I have pointed out, I have never had a DAB radio so can't do a comparison, but the sound and looks are great, its intuitive to use, and the price is a killer for a PURE radio. Excellent. Quibbles? None really, except that if you want to be able to make it portable its looks like the best bet is to buy a chargePAK, which recharges when you plug the radio in the mains and then powers it when you unplug, and they seem expensive to me at thirty quid.

In short - if you've dallied and delayed in dabbling with DAB - this is The ONE - groan...
