 ...and STILL no Chargepaks available! March 31, 2008

Yes - it's another 3 star review! Such a pity too, for altogether I love this radio with it's lifelike quality sound, easy-use menu, handy (if pricy) SD card recording, and classy looks. But in common with other purchasers I have to use it plugged into the mains, so largely it's stationary, as it's fairly large to lug about to another socket! Frankly, even if I could get the Chargepaks easily I'd be doubtful about buying them, as the stories of them going on fire etc., scare the socks off me! br /Still, it's a decent product otherwise, so I hope in years to come the manufacturer gets the "battery" issues sorted out for the newer versions.
Excellent but no batteries available December 6, 2007

Aa excellent radio for sound quality, build quality, finish and style. Plug it into an expensive hifi amplifier and also an external DAB aerial and listen to the sound it can produce over the already stand alone mini hifi quality excellent sound it produces. br / br /So why mark it down when sounding like it can't be faulted? Well, Pure state that this is a portable radio that can be taken anywhere. True you can put six normal battery cells in it but these will cost you a small fortune to run it on these. However, Pure do recommend that you use the ChargePAK to run it on battery power to make it truly portable. But, here's the "Catch 22" as the ChargePAK rechargeable battery is almost unobtainable and as rare as rocking horse manure. Even Pure are refusing to accept orders for them as they don't have any in stock or any idea if there will be any stock available at any time. They now don't even bother answering email enquiries for the ChargePAK rechargeable batteries. A very poor state of affairs if you're wanting the radio to be fully portable. br / br /So an excellent radio spoiled by not having an essential bespoke accessory available in stock.
 Untold extra on my Pure Evoke 2XT November 24, 2007

My first Evoke 2XT did develop a fault after 2 months and I had it replaced. The fault was a rather strange one. The sleep timer stopped working. This is strange because, according to the Pure Technical helpline this radio does not have the sleeptimer fitted. I had been using this facility for months so told the "technical help person" that mine had this facility. She seemed not to accept my statement. I pointed out that it was even in my operation manual. Further enquiries offered the answer that "maybe" it had been fitted to a few. When my replacement arrived this also had the sleep timer fitted. The replacement was the eco model. br /The moral of the story seems that the British designers and the actual manufacturers in China are not necessarily in step. br /It is a great radio, certainly the best I have ever tried.
