commonly Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I'm not sure how much data it uses really mate. I don't think it's too bad. Worth a bash? If not, you can't beat argos for electricals. Which (< the website) normally do good reviews, good luck B B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 The play 10 one looks pretty good for the money I think, still fairly small 18cm long 10cm high, haven't heard one though but my mate used to have a portable one which sounded pretty decent B B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I got the goodmans from B&M 20 quid, bit heavy on cheap Duracell batteries constant play will get around 48 hours on four AA batteries, that's me crushing them after they first start to run out to get up 48 hours. the batteries are Duracell but i get them from the bargain shops, They tend to get brand name products that are smaller in size than normal, might be the same with the batteries?

Ak29 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Yes mate, I take it all the time. It's quite compact reception is good (I rarely have to put the aerial up) and battery life is pretty decent. B B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B B Posted July 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I went for the Tesco dab for £20 and a hand held portable Azaton for work £33 perfect for when I’m on the move. Appreciate the input 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
