    Although worth a punt at that price, any experience I have had of brands like Alba, Bush, Technika etc are not good.

    You often get what you pay for.

    It appears that its available way less than RRP anyway
    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5322185/Trail/searchtext%3EALBA+FREEVIEW+HD.htm

    Its £39.99 here, and you can reserve and collect.
