Review:
We want a radio to carry out and use when swimming in the pool. This is fine.
We had an old radio which lasted about 3 days before adjusting it with a wet finger caused the controls to stop working. The Pure Oasis however has now been going for the best part of the year without any problems at all, and it is prodded with wet fingers every day
Yes it is bulky, but then it has also been dropped on a concrete floor couple of times, and that is done it no harm at all. Obviously it would not stand dunking in the pool, so we haven't tried that.
The sound quality is reasonable, we are quite happy not to have concert quality reproduction outdoors or when swimming. The controls are easy to use. It also makes a useful kitchen radio, and doesn't take up too much room on a worktop.
The only thing that has been less than perfect has been the inset rubber protective strips, coming out of their slots. However a dab with suitable clear rubber adhesive at the end of each strip has stopped that happening

Philips AE5200
Great FM performance, but its DAB tuner is weak, so the AE5200 fell short of our expectations
