good small DAB radio?

[Blackpuddin]

Looking for a DAB radio for the kitchen, nothing too fancy but definitely not one of the myriad of brands you've never heard of that cost about £25 and are rubbish (just sending one back to Amazon at the moment as it refused to hold presets and needed to scan through stations every time we turned the blooming thing on). And not a cheap Roberts either as their budget stuff seems to be as bad as everybody else's.
Something like this maybe?

Thanks all, it's as I suspected, nothing under £100 seems worth buying!

[Blackpuddin]

Looks interesting, thanks for the tip, often wonder about Goodmans stuff, the quality seems a bit random from one model to another.

[Blackpuddin]

Aye unfortunately it's the DAB stuff that Mrs B is interested in.

I should day that we do have a Sonos in the kitchen but the missis doesn't like the idea of moving it back and forth between there and the back kitchen/wetroom area where she does her morning routine. She reckons the Sonos loses its memory whenever it's unplugged. Can't say as I know anything about it myself, but I do know that a separate DAB radio would be the easiest solution for me as well as her

[Blackpuddin]

That's probably what she meant.

[Blackpuddin]

We'd be OK with mains only.

[Blackpuddin]

Thanks Mike, I've been wondering about that one.

[Blackpuddin]

Have the controls ever locked up or the preset stations disappeared?

[Blackpuddin]

Interesting thanks I'll have a look. Would like to buy British if possible.

I have one of those Roberts retro radios for the kitchen - the model with DAB and Internet Radio.

Whilst I also have Sonos throughout the house, it’s nice to just be able to switch it on and have music without messing with the your smartphone in the mornings.

That's what Mrs B wants.

They do look good in terms of spec. £99 for a factory refurb is a bit more than I was hoping to spend though and I'm wondering if it's 'too good' (no offence to Mrs B intended). Her last one got broken when she swept it off the microwave onto the floor while hurriedly applying makeup.

[Blackpuddin]

Bingo! That looks perfect, thanks very much. In fact I might splash out another three quid for the 'stereo' version.

ETA: except there are none available at any Argoses near me, or for delivery
ETA again: managed to get the Bush version, which looks exactly the same under a different name. Thanks to all for the advice and help.

Seems like buying a replacement every 3/4 years is all part of the listening experience these days

That applies to the whole domestic goods market nowadays I reckon.
