  Why do you need AM?
  Do you understand that DAB is the "replacement" for AM?
  All the AM stations in your area will be on DAB (assuming you're in range of DAB broadcast).

  There's very few DAB radios with AM at all.

  Fair call - so, any deals on DAB radio with bluetooth for the kitchen/living area?

    You don't indicate a price-range that suits, at all, and unless you're going to chase-up possible remaining stock of that Aldi one, or specifically want something for Christmas, you may as well wait for the after-Christmas / New Year sales.

    I subscribed to this thread when I saw it in the sidebar, and was intending to come back…

    Most digital radios, be they cheap or expensive, including pocket-sized and real el-cheapos of whatever size, have a 3.5mm auxiliary input.

    Add a bluetooth adapter - this one looks identical to the (surprisingly brilliant) first one that I ever bought and will have an inbuilt battery for about 5 hours of portable use, or you can leave it plugged-in to a USB power source.

    Alternatively, integrated bluetooth in something like that Aldi one mentioned above (may be still kicking around in an Aldi or two?), or, further up the quality scale, in something like this:

    or in a larger unit, like this:

    Choose your particular pricepoint poison.

    Keep in mind that if you're ok with the slight inconvenience of using a bluetooth dongle, you can then happily let other factors determine your choice of a DAB radio, including sales on really good non-bluetooth models. Plenty of those to choose from.
