With the world going crazy for eco-friendliness and worried about carbon footwotsits, it came as no surprise when PURE Digital dropped an uber-Earth-friendly DAB radio into our laps. The Siesta prides itself on having a 1W power consumption when in standby (the average for portables like this is 10W).

The Siesta will set you back £49 and has the usual DAB functions we expect from PURE Digital's labs. Plus you'll have the piece of mind of knowing the system comes with minimal packaging, should you care.

Strengths
While bass and fidelity are lacking from the single speaker driver, overall sound quality is clear and sharp. It's a nice enough bedside radio with excellent reception to boot. It's also a doddle to set up. You'll be ready to go within a minute. The auto-tune kicks things off on its first start-up, meaning no messing around with configurations.

A simple LCD screen is backlit by a dim blue glow, and surprise, surprise -- there are also some big numbers that tell the time. Although there's an FM radio, DAB's where you'll want to spend the most of your time. When listening to a DAB broadcast, station and song info sits on a couple of lines below the clock. You've got the option of setting three alarms, each of which have a range of recurrence options. There's also a snooze timer with a top snooze time of 60 minutes.
