Good price, nice style and both DAB and FM tuners worked very well.
Scratched top panel, rather large and heavy, and I was disappointed with the sound.
I'd expect an Acoustic Solutions Portal 2 DAB/FM digital radio to sound crisp and clear but this was far from it. Also the bass is very weak - almost embarassing when listening to a rock music station. Signal strength was fine so I tried headphones and the sound quality was miles better. However at my preferred (low) headphone volume there was a clearly audible hiss and the left-right balance was off so I won't be using headphones. Other quibbles: minor scratches on the clear top panel, mains adaptor is a struggle to fit in a socket, and with batteries this radio weighs more than some laptops.
