Wanted a cheap DAB radio for the bathroom. This radio needs 4 large LR14 bateries which lasted about 2 weeks as the display cannot be turned off and power is continually used. Had to buy another radio as the regular battery replacement made it too expensive to use for this purpose.
Also Asda delivery service was extremely bad. I was given an estimated delivery date (10 days after order date) and it still arrived at the store for collection 7 days late.

Unfortunately I need to return the radio - good reception, very portable, good sound but was unable to store more than 2 DAB presets (should be 10). Plus now the display has failed. I will buy another and give it a second chance.

With it's 80 second display timeout this makes a great bedside radio - it is a shame that the mono speaker means you need to connect a pair of powered speakers to get a stereo radio unless you want to wear headphones.
Once you have done that the only fault I can find is the lack of tone controls and a few buttons for favourite stations - those of us that only listen to R4 or World Service will not find this a problem . Sensitivity is good - far better than the DAB radio that I bought it to replace. All in all, a good purchase.

Really great value!
altec

The best £25 I have spent in ages considering the sound quality and the number of features for the price.
I originally bought the Philips AE5200 which was on offer at £27, but the build quality, sound and features on the ASDA DAB are far superior.
RMS (average power output) on the Philips radio is 0.5 with a tinny sound in comparison to the much richer sound on the ASDA radio at 1.5 RMS.
If you're looking for a value for money DAB radio then look no further.

The radio takes a few seconds to tune into digital stations but works brilliantly and is compact, lightweight and a joy to have.

It does most things that more expensive DAB radios do for half the money.

Great buy for a cheap DAB

I bought this to replace a broken, 3 year old, PURE EVOKE-1xt DAB radio. The PURE radio costs £100.00 this one costs £25.00 and gives the same functionality.
The PURE radio has solid wooden case and individual preset buttons (x6) whereas on the Asda model you have to press 'Preset' and 'Browse' until you get the preset number you want but it's a small difference when you consider the price difference!

a fine radio at a low price, good audio, easy to use and play right away.
One minor gripe - there were no instuctions on how to save preset stations and someone unfamiliar with DAB may find it difficult,initially. However, once set up, the preset stations were easily accessed

I just wanted an easy to use radio for the kitchen, very basic no fancy features. Seemed very easy to use, instructions OK, followed them exactly and completed the automatic tuning to find all the stations, it didn't find Radio 1,2 or 4! or my local Heart radio, so that was pretty useless. My son brought over his Pure radio which worked perfectly. Returned this product and bought a John Lewis own brand at £49 - works perfectly.
Moral of the story - you get what you pay for!

I read reviews of this DAB radio on other sites and purchased it on recommendations that the sound quality was excellent. It wasn't. But for the price it represents an excellent intro into digital radio. Needs the long telescopic aerial fully extended otherwise stations "drop out" and I never worked out how to use the pre-set buttons. Overall I'd recommend it but be prepared for the odd niggle.

Brought this for my father after his broke. I have the same model which is still going strong after 3 years although the power supply and display is better on the older model. Still very good value, will find it hard to buy better for the money in my opinion. Sound is good but totally enhanced through headphones which seems to be the story with all lower end DAB radios.

been searching for a small dab radio for over a year and really didn't want to spend more then 50 pounds. By chance i saw this one....seemed pretty good...kept the receipt just in case it didn't pick up any stations...its brilliant..easy to use, it looks good, its sounds great and loud and picked up loads of stations...please please buy it...don't buy anything else.

I bought this radio for work because of the poor reception where I work, this radio is fantastic, my only criticism is the volume control - if it had a knob to turn instead of pressing a button it would be much better so that you can adjust the sound.
But on the whole I would recommend this radio as it is such a good price for a digital radio.

I purchased this radio for myself some time ago and was so pleased with it that I bought one for my daughter for Christmas. It is so easy to tune in and to use. ideal for in the kitchen when cooking or for anywhere in the house it is required.
My daughter has trouble getting back from her son so perhaps another will need to bought soon.
