Priced as £29.99 but scanning as £10. A bargain for DAB and Bluetooth.

Meir Park, Stoke on Trent. They were in a locked glass display with other electronics, he got me one from storage so I don't know how many they have.

I got one for £17.49 but will be taking it back today. Power supply 'screams', loses alarm settings when AC power is disconnected - even when batteries are in the unit and display flashes annoyingly when alarm goes off.
And it looks and feels cheap and nasty.
But if you can live with those things, decent buy for £10.

I had to return two of these, one after the other, because both had the problem with the high-pitched whistling noise from the PSU, when plugged in. It is only audible when the PSU is plugged into the unit and the unit is drawing power. I suspect the reason these are reduced is because so many people are having the same issue. May not be a problem if you can't hear high-pitched noises!

Why is the display so tiny? The DAB and bluetooth are nice touches, but it should work as a clock first and foremost

This is the standard display used in a generic DAB chipset, you can see it in many cheap DAB radios.
Aldi reductions are store specific (manager's decision). Also stock dependent - obviously. Good luck if you're after one but be aware of a high probability of disappointment.

What is the purpose of the Bluetooth?

I have one of these, paid 14 quid for it, Aldi in Billingham. Ive binned the box now, but wish I hadnt so as I could return it. Noisy power supply, seems very loud at night, also no sleep timer, which is unforgivable on a clock radio/alarm.

I got one for £9.99 and had the same issue with the high pitched transformer power supply. Went online and picked up a USB to 5.5 mm power jack cable for £2 paired it with a spare USB charger plug from and old phone - problem sorted!
