They do use more - I saw a wind-up DAB one once, and I think you had to wind for one minute for each 5 minutes play! Mine goes for about an hour per minute winding. And the solar panel is very useful in summer.Peggy Sue wrote:I was hoping to get one of the wind up ones for Xmas last year but hte OH got me a DAB one which he thinks is wonderful- but I can't get my favorite station on and they apparenently use more electric than normal ones...will attempt to get one this Xmas by larger less subtle hints!
