Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The AZATOM Foxton FX2 is the second entry in our guide to DAB radios, and it is the one that sidesteps the argument running through the rest of the list. At £37.95 it is a mains-powered DAB/DAB+ and FM radio with Bluetooth, 80 preset slots, dual alarms and a sleep timer. The listing quotes no output wattage at all, and no battery capacity either — so the power-versus-runtime arithmetic that catches other radios in this guide cannot be applied here. There is nothing to check, because nothing of that kind is claimed.
What the listing does have is a set of fields that do not agree with each other. The title sells DAB/DAB+ and FM, while the spec table gives the supported radio bands as FM only. The box contents field lists a protective case and headphones, and no bullet point mentions either one. The field labelled "Antenna Location" is filled in with "Music, News, Sports Broadcast". The rating is the strongest thing on the page: 4.5 out of 5 from 2,108 Amazon ratings, with 90 of the 100 entries in the rating breakdown sitting at 4 or 5 stars. Everything here comes from Amazon's own listing. We have not tested this radio and we have measured nothing ourselves.
How those 2,108 ratings break down

Questions people ask
Does the AZATOM Foxton FX2 run on batteries?
No. The listing gives the power source as corded electric (mains), and no battery capacity or battery playtime is quoted anywhere on the page, so there is no runtime figure to weigh against anything else.
How many stations can I save?
The AZATOM Foxton FX2 listing says 80 preset slots, with instant tuning from a single button press.
Can I stream from my phone?
Yes. Bluetooth is listed, so you can stream from a phone, tablet or laptop, and the listing also mentions a headphone port for private listening.
Does it have an alarm?
Yes. The listing describes dual alarms with a weekday or weekend setting, plus a sleep timer.
Which radio bands does it receive?
The title says DAB/DAB+ and FM, but the specification table lists the supported radio bands as FM only. The two fields in the same AZATOM Foxton FX2 listing do not match.
What is in the box?
The listing's box contents field says a protective case and headphones, although neither is mentioned in the bullet points — worth checking before you buy.
