I decided to get one after my 6th iPod (now onto my 8th) I longed for the days of bulletproof personal stereos.
I had one for a year and it was fantastic, went days without charging (and these were long days in a Callcenter with a stack of tapes jacked into the phone blasting unsuspecting callers with some smooth analogue funk).
It autodetects and sets the Bias for all Tape types (and the lack of Dolby noise reduction dosnt go amiss it sounds hiss free anyway even with battered tapes that have been in the bottom of a rucksack for weeks).
I used it Skating, mountain biking pretty much everywhere. I broke it after a year and am now hunting for another 5 (need plenty to last me out) and the Sony store near ... Read More:

I have had problems with LG VCRs in the past and gave them another chance with this.
Features on paper it looks good and it does indeed have DAB and play MP3 cds (one of the few around that does both these things). My issue is not with the technical specs but rather with design. For something supposedly portable (it has a carrying handle it must be intended to be portable) it has a number of flaws..
Batteries: it takes 8 C sized batteries, fair enough its a lot but I guess it needs them... BUT it also takes 4 AA batteries just to preserve the DAB memory and power its feeble clock.
Power lead: move the unit around much and the lead falls straight out the back at any provocation. Then when you grapple the unit to ... Read More:

I bought this for my mum who is the other side of 80.
The reason I got it was because it is easily set up using the buttons on the front to play her favourite radio stations (press 1 for Radio 1, 2 for Radio 2, etc...)
Good clear sound quality for a kitchen radio, and most importantly the signal does not get affected by low flying aircraft (she lives near an airport).

It works very well, and for the price is very good value for money.
The radio reception is good, and the speaker is perfectly acceptable.
If I was being critical, the styling is a bit 1980s, and next time round I may be inclined to purchase something a bit less retro looking.
My biggest complaint is the switch to set the alarm on/off - it's a slider, and the notches are all very close together. It's quite a fiddle to select the one you want, and practically impossible trying to do it in the dark. And there is no illuminated feature to show whether the alarm is set or not. So if your other half has gone to bed before you, you have to put the light on to check whether the alarm has been set or not.
