I got one from either Asda or Tesco about a year ago for about £30. Works fine but rapes batteries. 2 decent AA batteries only last about 3 hours on it.

I bought one a bit like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/ATMT-MP170-Player-Radio-White/dp/B000IEQCCI

Don't bother unless you have a really really strong signal. It uses the headphone cord as an aerial to not very good effect.  It also eats batteries.

I did have a look but the threads I found were at least 2 years old (that could be down to my search criteria  Smiley).

I used to have a Roberts one about 4-5 years ago (present from the missus for exactly the reasons you want one), ate batteries but they all did back then. Apart from that, it was fantastic and apparently the newer models have greatly improved on power consumption. I managed to break it about 3 years ago and and replaced it with a Sony one for reasons I can't now recall but always regretted not getting another Roberts, far better

I've got a Pure PocketDAB 1500 which also has FM on it, they're about £80.

Never used it so don't know if it's any good.

Happy to help.
