"Where the Pure Evoke Flow impressed with its great sound and solid build quality, the Sensia does not."

Presumably you mean the Siesta (not Sensia)?

Relying on ANY internet radio to wake you up in the morning is not a good idea. Too many times they fail to find the WiFi signal. They should provide a tone alarm as a fail-safe after the radio has failed to make an internet connection .... either that or you have a £4.99 back-up alarm set!

GoodShep .... again

Have just read the Logitech Squeezebox Radio review and noticed that it provides a back up tone alarm ...... so it can be done!
Mind you the Squeezebox has to provide back up because it only provides internet radio - no FM or DAB.

Internet Radio

You can wake up to Internet Radio with the Flow - I did so this morning. However, you need to add the channel required to your favourites. I don't think the speakers are as dire as you are suggesting, though, but the case is definitely a plastic (apparently the vanilla Siesta is even worse in this respect)

Waking up...

Much as I hate to admit it, you're right about the internet radio alarm. Thanks for bringing this to our attention - we've now amended the review.
