Hi Ibrahim
What is the Dualit? (smiles). It's a DAB radio that Dualit made to
complement kitchen appliances in black, chrome/silver, or cream. It has
one of the largest displays on a DAB radio apparently. There are five
presets for DAB, and five for FM. It's a mono DAB radio. It has no
frills like SD, USB or whatever connectivity. There is an auxiliary
socket, and you can press one button that cycles through FM, Auxiliary,
and DAB. The latter is its default when turned on for the first time.
It has a metal casing, making the sound really brilliant in my view.
The rechargeable battery lasts about three hours on a good day, but you
are best sticking to mains if possible. There is a kitchen timer on
this radio which, for me, is completely inaccessible. Nevertheless, it
is there, and someone with useful vision may find it handy.
I suppose some might say that it is expensive for a DAB/FM radio without
bells and whistles, but I bought it for the sound and build quality, and
didn't want any of the other stuff that I wouldn't be able to see to use
in any case. It's a belter!! Go see!!

Hi Jackie.
I might be getting one of these pure moods, I'm looking for a DAB radio
and I've heard nothing but encouraging remarks about it on list. Sorry
if I seem like I'm missing something, but what is the Dulit?
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Carol
I take my Pure Move everywhere when I travel. I think it's a great
little radio to be honest, and FM is really good too. In fact, if I
go
somewhere and the hotel doesn't permit a good DAB signal, I find FM
pretty handy just to have something on.
As for John Lewis, enjoy yourselves in there, it's a favourite pastime
of mine to go looking at their radio selection. And I hope you love
the
Dulit as much as I do, it's one of my best purchases ever.
As for updating the Move, I've never done so, nor would really ever
want
to. To be honest, I think you might need sighted assistance to see
the
screen prompts, but this is just a guess, it might not be factual.
Enjoy, you lucky girl!! (smiles).

As I mentioned to Paul, I read your write-up very soon afterwards and
discovered you'd told me.
You may want to answer the question I've asked Paul about the
reception
you've got when you've been out and about with it, please.
We're also wondering if there have been any upgrades, for which you've
needed to use the USB socket. If you've upgraded, how did you find
the
process?
We're definitely getting a radio soon and are just working through our
options now.
We intend to go and have a play around at John Lewis too in the next
week - and then decide! I have a feeling that we'll end up with the
Pure Move for out and about and the Dualit Kitchen for home! <Smiles>

Hi Carol
Not Tris, but he won't mind! (smile).
Basically, the Pure Move has what you call a preset button. You
press
this, then use your left or right arrow of the joystick to move
between those you have set.
It always defaults to number one when you go into it, so you just jog
right once to reach Radio Two if that's what you've set preset two
as.
I hope this is making sense, but come back to me if you want a
further
breakdown of how it works.

Tris,
Looking back on this thread, are you saying the Pure Move doesn't
have
preset buttons, or just a few?

I also have a Pure Move and its reception is really quite good and
better certainly than my Evoke 3. The downside of the Move from a
"blind perspective" will be its lack of direct preset buttons which
means it is somewhat more reliant on its display. I would suggest
people try it with a friendly local retailer before committing to it
The Move does not take dry batteries but has an internal recharable
that seems to hold rharge quite well.
The nearest radio in size to the Move that I have seen if the
Roberts
Ecologic 2 (which I think is a renamed version of something that I
saw
earlier this year) which will take dry batteries and has direct
preset
buttons.
Regards.
