Evoke - 2 XT: 
Excellent sound quality,v/good tone control. Easy to tune and set up.Pleasure to listen to. Bought with recharge battery pack,works well.

Before that the only other niggle was that the light display was too bright for a bedroom. Ironically after the display stopped working, this problem remained with no way to remedy it by... more info Lots of good points but some niggles as well:
Good:

Plays loud if you want it
Poor:
Few presets
Slow changeover between stations
Sometimes doesn't want to turn on properly (the biggiest niggle)
When on ACDC, bright blue backlight impossible to turn off
Bulky
Awlful handle
Aerial easy to break
