Advantages: Girly pink, so cute! (Other colours available!) Easy to use. Disadvantages: I don't think so.
...in those colours. As Pure tells you on the box, it's "the radio for everyone".
I was eager to purchase a radio for my kitchen. I don't know why I didn't have one in there already. The time had come for me to get some company to help me with my kitchen chores. I suppose I could only stand so much of my own beautiful singing voice. The only way forward for me was a spanking new digital radio, so off I trot to John Lewis.
A vast array of digital radios ... ...back to the fuschia pink Pure ONE for my taste. It sounded clear, it had 20 station presets, was nice and compact, and most of all was the least expensive on the shelf. Oh, and it was pink. The black or white option didn't do it for me!
One minute, and £49.95 later I had my newest prized posession under my arm and headed off home for a dance about in my kitchen. Ease of use
Before I go into specific details, I'd like you to know how incredibly ...

Advantages: Nice backlight and whats playing info., good sound quality for the size, not too expensive Disadvantages: Not particularly portable, the ChargePAK is a good option but its not very cheap IMO
...I bought the white Pure One (or Pure Digital One) DAB radio for my mum for Christmas last year, as the small radio she used in the kitchen before 'going digital', offered a pretty rotten reception.
Its been used quite a fair bit throughout the year and from what I've heard/seen, the overall opinion of this product has been really quite high. I originally bought this on Amazon UK as I say about a year or so ago as the customer reviews of this particular ... ...-
First of all, Pure are specialists in digital audio devices. Their website proudly proclaims that "PURE is the UK consumer electronics company that started the DAB digital radio revolution, and now dominates that market worldwide, consistently delivering products with an acclaimed mix of high performance and ease of use." (taken from the 'about' section of the official Pure website, see:- http://www.pure.com/about/), so its nice to know that the ...

Advantages: Great sound, very easy to use, not a bad price, compact, loads of channels Disadvantages: Plastic
...decided to go for the Pure Digital One priced at just under £50 and hoped that it would fit the bill.
This radio was in either white or black plastic. I decided that the black would probably be more serviceable as white often yellows with time and the white one looked a little tacky. The black was a shiny black that did look and feel rather lightweight and was a bit too plasticy looking also, if you know what I mean. Still four months down the road ... ...Whether you listen to this Pure Digital One radio with the volume full on or turned down very low the sound is perfect. Recommended as a good value buy with excellent performance. My one quibble is that as it is made from lightweight material it will not be tough and resistant to accidents.

Thanks ...

Advantages: Great sound, affordable, a great introduction to DAB radio Disadvantages: screen could be permanently back lit, not keen on the large control button
...I saw the Pure Digital One in a consumer test review in Which! and it came out TOPS for sound and value. This was a major factor in my decision making because the choice of DAB radios in the shops is daunting and the most frequent complaint according to the tests, is sound quality.
The major benefit of Digital radio is that you are able to receive certain radio stations such as BBC7 which is only available on digital and my favourite LBC, (I just ... ...almost unbilically attached to My Pure One!

I bought a black one of these radios about two years ago now. I have found mine to be absolutely brilliant. With this radio you can use the DAB band and also FM. When I first got the radio, I could only receive FM where I was in scotland. The FM works just as well as the DAB. As for radio stations, there is a wide choice. There are the usual national ones like Radio 1 and many local ones depending on where you are. I think there are stations which ... ...to classical music and pop to more asian type music. On this radio, the only thing that I wish it had is an alarm feature, but you cant really have everything can you? There is a handy little timer thing. This allows you to set a time from 15 to 90 minutes and will switch off itself. In the past I found this really handy. I also think that this radio is really stylish with its silver buttons. As well as coming in black, it comes in pink and white. ...

Advantages: Great sound, attractive, easy to use. Disadvantages: No carry handle.
Wow! What can I say, I bought this in 2007 for £49.99. It is an excellent DAB Radio and depending where you are there are about 32 stations.
The radio is light, small and easy to carry on long-distances.
Attractive, mine is black. The night-light display is easy to read and after about an hour you will learn how to use all the functions and options. It receives FM and DAB. It does not have a carry handle so it is not as practical as some.
With ... ...it is loud enough.
The first one I bought was fine until a week later it wouldn't turn on.
So, I took it back and got a replacement , the salesman saying he's never come across a faulty PURE. Anyway, my replacement as been absolutely brilliant. I have bought my father one and he has had no problems with his either.
Highly recommended. ...

...set of to purchase a Pure One Digital radio and I am not disappointed.
In a choice of colours balck, white or shocking pink I faced a dilema but settled for white to match my new appliances.
I purchased mine from Comet but is available at other stores- shop around to find the best price and the colour you want. I paid £49.99
Excited with my purchse I plugged it in immediatly and was amazed at how easy it was to use. I was instantly surrounded ... ...could preset without having to trawl through lengthy and incomprehensible instructions. As I listened I read the simple to follow owners manual to discover the finer features of textscan, intelletext and kitchen and sleep timer. No more guessing how long to boil my eggs for !! Nor shall I ever miss a news item, web address or telephone number. To conclude I really do think this is a radio everyone should have and it is suitable for anywhere (not ...
