Dualit DAB Kitchen Radio Radio: Amazon.co.uk: TV

My wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I decided that I am most at home when pottering around doing DIY and listening to the radio.

For years I have used cheap second hand radios found at car boots as tend to listen to speech and BBC Radio 4 in particular so I never really sought after a high quality sound.

And yet in deciding on a present, I wanted something that would last and I could remember for years to come as something my wife had bought me - a heirloom if you like

I read the reviews and listened to a huge range of radios even getting tempted by the newer Internet radios that could get 6000 channels

However, I knew what I really wanted was a high quality radio, clear sound and one that would last.

I kept on coming back to the Dualit Kitchen Radio (which my wife calls my toaster!),

It just oozes design quality. For years I had always assumed that Mono equals poor sound and Stereo equals good(or better) sound. Well I was so wrong. I have never heard Mono sound so good - who needs stereo (although you can plug in an additional speaker to get stereo sound if you want)

Now I watch less television, use the radio next to my bedside to recharge itself overnight (NIMH battery with Charging/Full battery alert) and wake me up in the morning with an alarm and radio switch on. I use my small Ipod nano to download podcasts and then play them back through the radio

I absolutely love it and would have no hesitation in recommending it
