Dualit, the company behind those swish expensive toasters, has decided to launch a digital radio, that rather disappointingly doesn’t make toast. But it looks just like one of their toasters.
Designed to complement other products in the Dualit collection the new radio promises DAB and FM reception and a polished aluminium casing and softly rounded corners similar to its Vario toaster.
Sound is provided by the 8W, 4-inch speaker and there are a measly five presets for FM and DAB modes allowing you quick and easy access to a few of your favourite radio stations.
Between the two control knobs on the top of the unit is a large white-on-blue easy-view LCD display.
The radio incorporates a built-in rechargeable NiMH battery and promises 3-4 hours in DAB mode and 7-8 hours for FM.
Those short of a kitchen timer will also be pleased to hear that the radio has one built in so you don’t burn the dinner.
The Dualit DAB radio comes in three colourways: polished aluminium, black and cream, and will be available in the UK from mid-May 2006.
