Good: nothing
Bad: instruction leaflet poor. too complicated
Comment: Already own Pure chronos cd/radio which id too complicated for me and I am unable to read the clock when it dims during the night, despite supposedly being adjustable. Finding preset stations is a nightmare.
So because of my dissatisfaction my wife bought me a new radio alarm for Christmas. I couldn't believe it when I saw it was another Pure product, this time a Siesta, the young salesman having assured her that it was easy to understand and use. The instruction leaflet was for me far too complicated and the radio has 11 buttons some of which are multipurpose and from what I can understand the backlight dims on this model too. Pure designers are probably all kids with degrees in modern technology and don't realise that other mortals don't understand these nurdy gadgets.
The shops are open tomorrow and this radio is going back.
PURE BUT NOT SIMPLE.

Good: Style, Audio peformance, features, DAB signal
Bad: reliability
Comment: Looks good, was easy to set up and the DAB signal was good in an area that gets very poor digital signal. The sound was good considering it was coming out of a single small speaker.
However the screens visibility isn't great, you have to look straight at it from the same height as it to see it clearly. The major issue however, and this happened twice to me. After 2 weeks of working without problem, it stopped playing the radio as the alarm, or would start ok then after about 5 secs turn it off. The speakers would turn on, as it clicked. i could turn it off then turn it back on again, and the radio would play ok so the signal was OK, but as the alarm just stopped working, tried doing a hard reset as Pure Support suggested, but didn't fix it with either radio.
I ended up sending both back as i couldn't trust them, and when you use it to wake you up, you need to be sure that it will work.
