Default DAB Radio recommendation

I'm fed-up with crackly FM reception in our area... can anyone recommend an inexpensive DAB radio that is good for general kitchen usage?

It needs to work from an AC adapter, but batteries (or rechargeable) would be great so it can go out into the garden too.

Thanks

We have a Pure Digital (brand) "One Classic" (model) in our kitchen. Cost was around £50, but they have probably come down since we bought it. Works on batteries and AC adapter and you can get a rechargeable powerpack for them so the AC adapter constantly charges it up for non-mains use, but the pack is an option and I seem to recall they were quite pricey (£30, or so?).

It sounds and looks great - not a crackle to be heard with Radio 4!

One tip I have is to look for a reconditioned one rather than buying new. I picked up a reconditioned Pure classic via an Amazon retailer for just £10. There is absolutely nothing to show that it's anything other than brand new, it even came in a pristine looking original box. It works perfectly and saved us £30!
