I bought this little radio to listen to in the garage or while working on the house. I didn't particularly expect too much from it and I'd just looked for something cheap and cheerful that I wouldn't mind getting covered in paint or plaster. Having said that, this thing is, well... WOW!Amazing sound quality at low or high volume, crystal clear audio on DAB. A very quick scan through the instructions but everything is fairly self-explanatory and intuitive, easy to store and recall presets.The built in re-chargeable battery was a bonus, but again I didn't expect too much. Was I wrong! It's incredible for such a small device. During the recent storms (I'm in Wales) our cats were very spooked and we'd read that classical music may help to calm them. I turned the radio on at 2pm in the afternoon, hoping it would last until midnight, the wind was howling and the rain battering the roof. Went to bed around 11pm,classic FM still playing. I'm being completely honest, we turned the radio off for a re-charge at 7am the following morning. That's 17 hours. I was amazed. No problem at all in recommending this little radio. Enjoy!Update: We continue to love this radio and we'll be ordering another one or two. Consistently lasting 20hrs on a single charge, but we've no idea how long the battery actually lasts as it's not yet run out on us. I may have been lucky with this one but what a great buy!

This is a solid little radio which produces good sound, and can go quite loud (with a bit of distortion creeping in). The main body measures approximately 178 x 90 x 47mm, with a 45cm antenna. The instruction book is fairly clear. I came a bit unstuck on storing stations, but if any operation gives trouble, try a long press then short press on a particular button to see if it makes a difference. The radio will operate at low to moderate volume for over 12 hours. Recharging with the included 5 volt USB charging cable takes about 3 hours at 1.0 amps from empty to full (indicator light on reverse changes from red, to blue when fully charged). There is the option to set the time manually, by reference to FM, or by reference to DAB. I find FM gives the most accurate result. If switched off during charging, the clock seems to lose several hours, but resets quickly once I tune in on FM. The build is sturdy, but there's a bit of play in the antenna hinge and in the selection knob. Stations are generally clear, especially on DAB. In my opinion, 4 stars.

Delighted with this radio. Easy set-up, good sound quality for a small unit, and very adequate volume without distortion, clear display with automatic date and time. The power connection clinches it for me - a USB cable but with a 5mm round plug device connection, much more robust than micro-USB, and with the option of using a cheap 5v mains adapter. I wish I had found this years ago.

DAB doesn’t work. But all other features are fine. Will be returning and trying another brand.

With the risk of power outages and the odd drop of the internet this radio has been great. It manages to pick up signals easily and the battery lasts all night after a charge. Cons it's very light weight.

Exactly what I wanted for my kitchen, tucked away and unobtrusive, good clear sound, no problems, just remember to press button to off, and when it says ‘bye bye’ press it again or you’ll be on standby which still uses electric. There’s a blue light at the back which will tell you if it’s still on, you want to have no light on at all. Great little thing though, pleased with it.

This was a replacement for an older Sony model that went ftzz. It took awhile to work out how the buttons worked, even after reading the guide. I only managed to turn it off completely after about a week by pressing a button twice, after waiting! It recalls the last station etc. well, and the battery life seems pretty good, and although I use it in our kitchen once or twice a day for about an hour, I've only recharged it twice in a few months. The sound quality is surprisingly solid, even on full volume. The small station display is hard to read unless it’s angled at you, but I only use a couple of BBC stations, so not a problem. If you want to see what’s playing, depending on where the display has scrolled to, you might need to wait a bit for it to show the info you need. Happy with it, after using it daily - getting used to the unintuitive buttons means I they no longer confuse me like they did at first. Solid design and manufacture, very economically priced and works very well.
