This is what I’ve got from Trevor so far:

I don’t want to send it back

Having been set back by dodgy weather and poor service from Royal Mail I got off to a late start.

The main feedback I have is around the tuning. It was a bit of a pain as you correctly pointed out a ’special insulated device’ was required. First I tried tuning Niftymitter and then the radio – not the best option. Then I tried it the other way round – bingo! Still a little fiddly but I got there in the end. – RESULT. Maybe I should have read the instructions – typical male!

So after starting 2wks behind I decided to ‘enjoy’ the testing.

* Firstly I addressed an early morning radio bugbear. I like to listen to music while in the shower, but the majority of breakfast shows are a little bland for me. Enter the Niftymitter and my iPod. I now have the shower radio tuned in and delivering what I want to listen to.
* Next I always wanted my own radio show, podcasts just didn’t cut it for me – enter the Niftymitter. I surprised my 5yr old with radio show containing dedications to him and his mum. Which lead on to us both creating a radio show using his fav music (I’ve no idea why is fav track is Rocks by Primal Scream!?). That’s what I call a fun family activity.

The only outstanding thing I haven’t managed to try is some music making/creation. I did have big plans/ideas but time has obviously creeped up on me.

So let’s get down to some nitty gritty about the Niftymitter.

Ease of use overall 9.5/10, loses half a point for the tuning issue.
Would I buy one – yes
Would I recommend Niftymitter over other transmitters I’ve tried – yes

Some very generous ratings there from Trevor! I feel like niftymitter is on strictly come dancing or something..
