Compared with our old PURE Elan (Christmas 2005) the Elan RV40 is such a disppointment. Our first DAB radio was so easy to use; the 8 presets were not only a doddle to programme, but were a "one touch" operation to flit between, making it the ideal kitchen radio, in a busy teenager shared home. Sadly the on/off switch decided not to play any more, and after a month of leaving the radio on, and using the volume control instead, we decided to be more environmentally friendly and replace it.
The RV40 was a mistake. To change the radio station, you must now press; the preset button, followed by the + button, for as many times, as to equal the number of the preset, and then press select. At a minimum that is 3 buttons to press, if like ... Read More:
I have owned the DX40's predecessor, the Elan, for a couple of years now and cannot fault it's performance, so when I decided to buy a second DAB radio, this was the obvious choice. It looks good (no retro wood or cheap looking plastic)and has a small footprint. The only slight problem with the older model was poor life of rechargeable batteries (I have now modified the radio so it automatically charges when plugged into the mains).
The new model is even better, with more features and a chargepak unit available (though at around £30 it's a bit steep...)
If you are looking for a reliable, sensibly priced quality DAB radio which can be run off the mains and batteries then buy this one!

I have wanted on of these for years, so I did my research and discovered Pure is a top brand. I have been very pleased with the sound quality, and the fact I can get my local radio station (which I was never able to). I am also very pleased with the colour - PINK! - it brightens up my life.

I've had one of these for a few years and I love it. But I measured its power consumption recently and was a bit shocked (if you'll excuse the pun): It draws 6.5W, whether the radio is on or not. Since we use it as a bedside alarm clock radio it's 'on' all day everyday, so that must really add up.
