Hama Digital Radio "DR1600" (DAB + / DAB / FM with Bluetooth and alarm) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Positive:
The Hama is my second DAB Radion after about the same expensive Technisat 300, the defective after 3 weeks went back. The DR1600 has in my opinion, but overall a noticeably better sound than the Technisat. It's also a bit smaller, with what little free parking spaces before may play a role in a kitchen. The reception is impeccable (möglichrweise but basically on the location or region dependent). The operation is mostly intuitive. For simple devices such as such a "kitchen radio", which is always within reach in any case, I like the direct knobs (neudeutsch: Retro) rather than any of these Mäusekino fuss on remotes. While there is no separate buttons, which can be put on individual stations. But to whom the little knob turning is too much, the transmitter can also be very easily and quickly store the right button and recall. Bluethooth is also available and works fine (on my iPad).

Now for the flaws:
Radio is relatively small and light, despite its retro designs. That's still not a disadvantage per se. The two large knobs are however designed for ON / OFF and ENTER for as pushbuttons. It is my opinion anch hardly prevent one when you press the buttons pushes the Radion eventually little by little backwards. The small stand feet are indeed made of rubber, but find at least for me on the kitchen painted wood not enough grip.
Annoying is the inscription on the 6 function keys - which is in fact virtually undetectable! Font color and button background can be clearly distinguished "gray-to-gray" and only the low-light of each other. If you have the keys once, operated twice, of course you do (usually) what function is on which key. Nevertheless, is beyond me how product designers can produce so little.

Supplement v 21/07/2015.:
After exactly 5 months the radio has unfortunately given up the ghost: Sudden total failure of the on-off / open-Quiet Button. Positives: Amazon has insisted on no cumbersome warranty repair and promptly sent a new device. 5 Stars for Amazon, devaluation to 3 stars for the Hama radio.
