I like that:
- Subjectively good DAB reception (which I did not have a comparison device here)
- Easy to read display with lots of information (data rate / quality, Radio Time & date, Frequency, Radio Text, etc.)
- Many features in one device
- Usable dimensions (where the device is smaller than it looks in the pictures) - for me, it would also like to may be a few centimeters wider again ...

I do not like that:
- Sound is simply 1-2 steps to bad. Almost every cassette radio from the 90s is sounded moderately better
- Use something askew - many buttons look the same and are insufficiently organized - one wishes that at least the volume buttons would highlight something similar or even better than turning wheel
- Device will always start in volume level 20
- Device will always start in DAB mode
- CD drive a bit too loud

A good feature combination housed in a neat size of crate ... but if the features are not well implemented, it's just no good device.
