I have bad eyesight and have been looking for a big display DAB for a while. This looks reminiscent of the Philips AJB3552/05 (no longer manufactured - how did I miss that!) which looked like this
The description says "Ex-Display/Demo Item In Excellent Condition - Supplied Complete In Original Retail Box - The Item May Have Small Cosmetic Blemishes Such As Minor Marks." and "6 months warranty".
The Pure Siesta Rise looks perfect (as another big display DAB alarm alternative), but it's around £70 (gulp).
Alarm & snooze function 20 presets Mains powered LCD display
Wake up to your favourite station with the Sandstrom SDABXCR13 DAB Clock Radio.
Digital listening
The fully tuneable radio produces crisp digital radio listening with the convenience of a FM tuner.
There are 10 preset stations from both digital and analogue radio, giving you plenty of listening choice.
A built-in alarm function allows you to select a wake-up call from a FM or DAB radio station or just opt for a simple buzz alarm. The infamous snooze function is also there to delay your alarm.
You don't need to worry about falling asleep and not turning off the radio a sleep function will do it for you.
Furthermore, an automatic DAB synchronised clock updates the time, even when the device is disconnected.
Fall asleep and wake up to the glorious sounds of radio with the Sandstrom SDABXCR13 DAB Clock Radio.

Looks good for the money, but reading the reviews this has put me off: "There is only 2 settings of brightness on the display. The lowest level is still very bright in the night."
A few people have mentioned it.

We got one of these from Currys a couple of years ago and it's been great. It's a bit annoying that you have to turn it on and scroll through the menus to get to the alarm settings and I don't think the DAB aerial is up to much, but we get a fine signal from it.
£20 is pretty good value for what it is

I nearly did buy the Sandstrom but still not sure if the display would be big enough for me to see easily without glasses! This is more the size I'm looking for but more modestly priced alternatives seem thin on the ground (this is the Pure Siesta Rise) - also the USB charging function for mobiles etc is a great addition.

I got this, tbh it is a nice looking clock and keeps time perfectly, but setting alarms and stuff is way troublesome, you have to relook at instructions each time!

it's not clear if it has a headphone socket, or if that's the AUX socket that's mentioned twice.
