Hi guys,

Random question, what DAB radios do you lot run ?

We've had 2 Pure Evoke-2 XT's, they look great, sound great and run on mains and batteries ok (if a little hungry on the batteries)....... BUT we've gone through 2 of them and its taking the mick now so i've lost faith with it.
Budget sub £100, spec not too bothered as its for kitchen use.


Thoughts on a postcard ? :)

If you're using them to mash potatoes then I would suggest <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalo ... LoBEPMCMAQ" target="_blank">this one</a>. The metallic appearance will make it easier to scrape off the mash before you start using the front of it to grate cheese...

I've got a Pure One. had it since June.
I don't run it on batts though, straight off the mains and through some stereo speakers at work.

used every day. But it's the only one I've tried, so have nothing to compare it to. I like it though.

I wanted to avoid another pure over the failures we've experienced but looks like it might he the only option as well as keeping the receipt for warranty purposes!!
