Grundig GDP 2550

Advantages: .
Disadvantages: No back up support. Poor customer relations

...I would not touch anything distributed by Grundig Australia again, our 42" plasma has spent over 4 months in the repair shop this year alone and it is only the beginning of October. They will not return telephone calls, they keep sending broken parts to their authorised repairer and then expect us to wait while they sort out their internal issues. The service shop advises they had no end to their problems with dealing with Grundig. We have an an home service warranty but still have to take and pick up our item.

...I was lucky enough to receive this fine DAB radio for Christmas. It was so simple to set up and within minutes i was listening to clear interference free music. With a wide range of radio stations available i was able to listen to jazz one minute and the latest chart music the next. You can preset up to 10 of your favourite DAB stations which saves a lot of time! The Grundig Opus is also a neat looking radio which would not look out of place in any room in the house.

My opionion on all Grundig products is very low. The last Gundig I bought was a long time ago and it broke down three times. Grundig are economy manufatures. Yes their prices are good but AIWA do some very good budget systems for not much extra and the differnence in quality amazing (MD-300 for one). You mayu have also come across Matsui (Dixons own budget brand), Venturer, Pro Line, Bush and, Alba and Goodmans. All these are made my Grundig using the same parts. If you are going to go for a budget, you can save yourself more money by looking for a similar product by one of these manufactures (some are suprisingly similar in every... Read review
