Had a pure dab, evoke one. Lasted about 5 years then it suffered a loss of software meaning it was useless. Pure admitted that they could not repair it, offered a pathetic discount on a new one. Refused to confirm that they would be able to repair this one in the future either! So, it went to landfill. We bought a second hand Crown DAB via ebay. This is a much better radio, more sensitive, better sound and has been utterly reliable for 3 years. It cost £12, that's value unlike Pure. The problem with Pure seems to be low temperatures particularly when not turned on.Destroys the memory ( Cmos? ) so why Pure can't repair is just their marketing ploy. Never buy anything by Pure, tell your friends not to either.

I received the Pure Tempus 1 radio as a gift about 5 years ago and was really pleased with the sound and look of it and the ease of use. However the screen has now frozen on the blue back light with no stations showing, no sound and nothing works when any of the buttons are pressed. This is so disappointing as I would have thought that something this expensive would work for years and years - not just five! I won't be buying another one as this is the second pure radio I've had problems with and although they sound great, they are frought with problems and not worth the money for the short life span they appear to have. Another piece of expensive junk for land fill :(

3 years old kept 'getting time' upgraded firmware (but only worked with XP PROFESSIONAL ON AN INTEL MOTHERBOARD all other OS and MOBO's failed also seemed to need usb 1.1 not usb 2.0) prob solved..........eventually . 5 years old screen lights up but no characters that's it. Power supply is putting out 18V not the 14.4 it says it should...maybe this has failed and fried it . Looks like I have a beech paperweight. Features were fine and sound was good however both these features are no firmly in the past !

Upgrade treat for me - I found it a bit complicated to set up but I'm not technical. The last thing I expected was for it to expire after 4-5 years. Meanwhile I'm back to listening to my old clock radio purchased for about £10 from Argos over 17 years ago. Progress!!!!?

LCD so dim it can't be read so although the set still works it's about as much use as chocolate teapot!! Pure do not supply spares and won't consider repairing - so they say chuck it and buy another one from them - haha!! So if you are thinking of buying a Pure product bear this in mind. It's a shame 'cos the set is good otherwise.

When the radio was new I was very pleased with it. But I moved out of London and where I am now other DAB radios can still pick up LBC but this one cannot.....
