We like:
Sturdy wind-up handle; reliable performance; good sound; sense of honour in using it
We don't like:
DAB play time from manual wind is very short
CNET UK judgement:
There may be prettier radios, and there may be better-sounding ones, but the warm feeling you get from winding up the Devo can't be beaten. While the power-guzzling DAB components reduce the practicality of the winding process, for FM listening it's a revelation
