Advantages: Easy to use, i do not get on with technology, but i like this

Disadvantages: Er..................fuzzy when a car goes past

I work in a small office with only 15 people in the building at any one time, I love music and our commercial manager has a radio in his office, so I decided I wanted one too, it makes the day go quicker listening to it, so thought as my birthday was coming up I'd ask my other half for one.

We went to Curry's and Comets and saw the Pure One Digital DAB Radio, I also saw the smaller radio in the same range the Pure One Mini Digital DAB Radio, originally I liked the Pure One, but thought the price was a bit excessive for a radio at £59.99 in Curry's and Comet's, I thought this was a bit steep for a radio for work so I looked at the next model down, the Pure One Mini, it was priced at £44.99 again in both Curry's and Comets. I opted for the smaller, cheaper one, and told my boyfriend that would do fine.

About a week later I was passing HMV and saw the Pure One DAB radio (I didn't even know they sold radios), out of curiosity I went in to look and found they were selling them for a lot cheaper the large radio (Pure One) was £39.99 and the smaller one I was going to settle for was only £29.99 a large difference in price.

I text my boyfriend and told him to look around and especially in HMV, which he did and low and behold on my birthday I opened the Pure One Digital DAB Radio. In white, that bit is important. You can get them in white, black and electric pink.

The radio now sits proudly in my office, it is 21 cm in length, 15 cm in height and 7 cm in depth. It is a DAB and FM radio. It comes with a mains lead for plugging it in and also space for 6 .... batteries. You can also buy a Charge PAK to use but I don't need this so I haven't got it.

You can pause and rewind live radio, which is cool (Sky Plus of the radio world), it has adjustable bass and treble for all you beat junkies. It also has the basics like a clock, alarm, a sleep function and a kitchen timer too. There are 30 available presets, I am using the grand amount of one. Capital FM, although when I get round to it I will store some more. There is an MP Port and headphone socket.

The Pure One Classic comes with a two year warrantee, well that's what it says on the box. It is also energy saving recommended.

In the box you get the radio, and mains cable as well as the manual and a Pure Range leaflet/brochure. The aerial is so long, it's actually quite funny, but does the job so I can't complain, I have mine leaning against the wall but standing free is could look a little odd.

So far I love this radio, it's great, nice looking, get quality and a good size. My only moan would be if someone drives past my office from outside it can interfere and go fuzzy for about 30 seconds but it doesn't last long. If you worked near a road it could perhaps be a pain, I'm lucky my office is off-road.

Summary: Great item, at £39.99 i would recommend it, not at any more, it's a radio!
