Manufacturer's Description
From the world leaders in DAB radio comes ONE Mini - perfectly simple, easily affordable.
 | ONE Mini If you’re looking for a compact, portable DAB radio, ONE Mini offers a blend of quality, style and affordability that’s hard to beat. Small and light, ONE Mini is an ideal travelling companion giving up to 20 hours portable listening when fitted with the optional B1 rechargeable ChargePAK®. Despite its compact dimensions, ONE Mini has been engineered to provide surprisingly punchy audio quality and volume. We’ve also worked hard to make it intuitive to use with simple controls and easy to access to features. ONE Mini also offers FM reception, an input so you can plug in your iPod or MP3 player and use ONE Mini as a portable speaker, up to 16 presets, a headphone socket and a USB socket for future upgrades. There’s even a choice of colours. |
 | EcoPlus™ is a statement of PURE’s on-going commitment to our environment and its future. It indicates that environmental impact has been considered in the design, manufacture and transport of our products, and has driven both what we do and how we do it. All EcoPlus products are packaged using cardboard produced with a minimum of 70% recycled material, and finished using water-based varnish. All internal pulp trays are 100% recycled, and the user documentation is printed on 100% recycled paper using Soya-based inks. We also encourage our customers to recycle all packaging materials. The boxes of EcoPlus products are designed to be the smallest they can be whilst still ensuring the integrity and security of the product inside. This maximizes the number of products which can be shipped in each container, and thus minimizes the environmental cost of transport. |

| PURE are proud to be able to say that nine PURE radios are Recommended by the Energy Saving Trust. The PURE Move received the first ever ESR endorsement for a radio and now the ONE Mini has also received ESR accreditation. Products endorsed by the scheme have to satisfy an Independent Endorsement Panel of experts, and have to meet strict energy efficiency criteria which means they are not only better for the environment but are also cheaper to run. |

| With Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) you’ll discover a broader range of music, debate and ideas, all in crystal clear digital sound. |
Ease-Of-Use
Digital radios are much easier to use than analogue radios because they automatically search for all available stations. Once the radio has found all the available stations you just choose the one you want by name. No more trying to remember frequencies.
Wider Station Choice
With up to 55 DAB stations available in many areas, and more on the way, you’ll be spoilt for choice. As well as existing favourites like BBC radios 1-4, BBC radio 5 live, Classic FM and talkSPORT, there are also great exclusive-to-digital stations such as BBC 1Xtra, BBC 5 live Sports Extra, BBC 6 Music, BBC 7 and Planet Rock.
Digital Sound Quality
DAB is crackle-clear and hiss-free because it’s not subject to the same interference as analogue radio.
DAB Stations
There's more listening choice on DAB too. These great stations and many more are available in the UK on DAB digital radio. As DAB coverage varies, remember to check which stations are available in your area.

Customer Reviews
pure one mini
The major drawback with this radio is that it only takes a special sort of battery that Pure sell for an extra £20. It doesn't take normal batteries. Very annoying if you were planning to use it that way and it isn't clear until you have purchased and opened up the box!
Lovely little radio
I finally bought a DAB after my analog radio started to crackle almost continually. I wanted something portable that I could easily take from the bathroom to my bedroom. This product does that and works exceptionally well - crystal clear radio and no voice distortion (I listen to radio 4 most of the time.)
My tiny niggle is that the chargepak isn't included, and that the sound seems to go from too quiet to too loud in one step. It would have been better to have more increments in terms of increasing volume. I should add these are small niggles; I love this product!
What about the rechargeable battery pack...
Great Radio...
I brought this for my Dad for Christmas and he's over the moon.
The set up instructions take a bit of interpreting but are ok when you realise it's only a couple of presses to access most of the features.
The only thing I am not happy with is the availability of the rechargeable battery pack. They are stocked at very few places (Amazon is one) but they seem to be in short supply everywhere.
I would like to have seen this radio with a rechargeable battery pack included.
