Can someone recommend Wi-fi & DAB radio; under £100?

Hi,

I don't know where to look apart from at Pure's radios and they're pretty ugly.

An iPod Touch dock would be nice too.

I was thinking about this Pure Siesta Flow on Amazon, but the reviews are mixed.

Any ideas for under £100?

Thanks.

  • These retail at just over £100, but Revo sell their reconditioned ones on Amazon. Brought one, full price £125 last year but have since brought 2, for ex-pats like me at £65 each!

    Hi,

    Visit amazon and search for:
    Intempo Digital RDI iPod Speaker Dock With Built In DAB

    This is a little more than £100 but the sound quality is excellent, DAB and ipod dock, FM and aux inputs for any other mp3 player's you may have. I really recommend this.

    This is my best buy in a long time... got it for the kitchen but its too good for the kitchen!
  • I work in Audio, and I would always recommend a Pure - however the Siesta Flow is really no more than a souped up bedside radio. Where do you want to put it?

    The M&S one I posted earlier this year fits the bill but cant buy it online now and maybe hard to get, it played Dab, FM and wifi radio and also streaming music from pc

    It was around £38 Dab/FM/Internet radio £37.82 or slightly more inc del (multipage.gif1 2 3)

    Thanks, everyone.

    The radio will be a present and probably placed in the bedroom or home office.

    The Revo iBlik looks promising, but it only has 'mono' sound and the Intempo doesn't have Ethernet/Wi-fi. I don't think the Revo could be plugged in to a hi-fi, to use the stereo speakers, as that's in another room.

    The M&S one is 'out of stock', now, again. I guess I'll have to be quicker. It doesn't seem to be listed under 'digital radios'; I can only find it via savemoney's link. Are there any others not currently available, maybe with DAB+?

    If only the Revo iBlik had stereo sound; it would be perfect.

    Thanks.
