The Pure Evoke Mio DAB Radio by Orla Kiely buttercup edition has a very 1950’s feel to it yet retains all the latest technology to allow such a perfect sound.
Retro Design
I pretty much use this Retro styled Radio every morning before and after the kids go to school. I love the sleek design and it is so well placed in my kitchen. Now I am not the most tech savvy of people but even I think this Pure Evoke Radio is so easy to use.
I personally do not think the price tag reflects the quality of the product which in my opinion is a real bonus. I have a the Pure Evoke Range
on Amazon and the prices range from around £80 to £130 for various editions of the Pure Evoke Radio’s.

Personally, this is one gadget I can’t live without! I suppose many radio’s have the same or similar functions as the pure evoke by mio orla kiely but the ones I have used in the past don’t come close to having the same sound quality and sturdiness which is required around a busy family home.
Although you would not have thought the digital display would match the appearance it seems to add to the design. The display scrolls from the left and display’s the radio channel quite brightly across the screen in large letters making this perfect for those with impaired vision. You can also configure the level of brightness.
Guest who have come to my house instantly noticed the pure evoke by mio orla kiely and have asked me on several occasions where I purchased the DAB radio from. The Pure Evoke Radio can be used as an alarm clock and Kitchen timer. I haven’t used the alarm feature at this time because I don’t require an early morning call in the kitchen, but I do use the timer when I cook because I am terrible at remembering when things need to be taken out of the oven.
Overall the pure evoke mio dab radio orla kiely buttercup edition would be a great edition to any stylish household. The radio will do nothing but improve the look of your home decor with it’s very well designed external appearance. Initially pure evoke by mio orla kiely was a John Lewis exclusive, however digital radio appears to be widely available online.
