Review : Philips DAB portable radio (model AE5200/05)

Philips DAB Portable Radio model AE5200/05
Price : £25 (£34 on Oct 11)
From Asda
Summary : Good, cheap, but eats up batteries
Score per value : 9.5/10
Overall score : 7.5/10

A great DAB radio for the price but eats up 6 batteries at a time. Probably only get 9 hours out of them. Can be plugged in too. Nice sound (bassy) from the sole speaker. Nice design (stand is a bit flimsy). Reception seems to work well for me. Can save 10 presets. FM too. Overall great, but I would probably now go for the Sony 4 battery comparable portable available.
