Diffulculty registering and set-up. Truly state of the Art technology. I have been disappointed in other internet

radios. Amazon shipped this product in the best way of an interior package safely inside a tough exterior. After I

received delivery Amazon asked what I thought of their shipping? How often does that happen? Amazon offered the best price even better than dealing directly with the company.

My wife got me one of these for Christmas this year. I've been coveting a Sensia for years, and almost bought the original model when we were in England last year, but held off.

The radio is attractive, and the interface works well. I like the integration with Pure Connect. There are plenty of radio stations to be heard. I love being able to record programs with a USB stick. If the radio worked, it would be a wonderful product.

That's a pretty big if. I find that the radio crashes often. A relatively high bitrate station like Triple J from Australia or BBC 6 Music from the UK can cause the radio to crash every 10-20 minutes or so. A lower bitrate station like the BBC World Service can play for about 3 hours or so, but it too eventually crashes the radio.

I find the support team at Pure only sporadically responsive. I got a response to my original complaint within the specified 48 hours. I'm not sure he actually read my message, because he told me to do a factory reset despite the fact that I clearly mentioned that I had already done one. Nevertheless, I did one again, and the problem cleared up enough for BBC 6 Music to play for three hours. Then it crashed, and from there it crashed every 10-20 minutes again. When I detailed this in a response, I never heard back.

I really want to like the radio, but with this fatal flaw, I can't recommend that anyone purchase one. If it worked, it would be at least four stars. Pity it doesn't.
