Roberts Sound MP23 Micro Hi Fi System Hi Fi System Reviews: DAB and FM Radio with CD Player, iPod Dock

+ I really researched before purchasing and wanted to pay less - but I'm really pleased I splashed out now!

- None

+ Excellent sound, unit looks good, good overall quality. Perfect for superior quality sound in the kitchen. I would recommend it confidently.

- None really

+ memory card storage, and sound quality via DAB, looks. Much better than Bose

- doesn't come with a memory card, and no guidance on how best to store and access data via this medium. It would be nice if it came with a cable to connect to ipod or mp3 headphone socket

+ Good value against options such as Bose.Very good sound quality and reception of DAB stations

- A shallower profile would be better.

+ Stylish, compact with a great sound.

- None !

+ Sound Quality is fantastic
Looks - a nice piece of furniture

- Minor - you have to point the remote at the right angle to ensure the unit receives the signal
Larger "smooth scroll" display would have be an improvement. The display has the appearance of flashing as the words move accross.

+ THIS MODEL DOES ALMOST EVERYTHING FOR YOU ONCE PLUGED IN IT SEARCHES FOR ALL THE CHANNELS FOR YOU , GREAT CLEAR SOUND REPRODUCTION,MORE VOLUME THAN YOU WILL EVER NEED CD SOUND GREAT ALSO , ALL IN ALL A NICE ITEM COMES IN A NICE PIANO FINISH CABINET I WOULD RECOMEND THIS DAB UNIT FROM A NAME TO TRUST ROBERTS.

- BACK LIGHT ON CLOCK/ DISPLAY RATHER BRIGHT WOULD BENEFIT FROM A DIMMER SWITCH.

+ Very good appearance and compact size; sound quality very good; fairly easy to use..

- Hand control is poor quality and not very positive; why go to so much trouble to produce such a good product and then let it down on the controls.

+ For price, the package, sound and features is superb

- If I had to be picky, the remote is a bit clumsy.

+ the sound is fantastic considering the "shoe box" size

- occassional bad dab reception

+ Fantastic sound quality- rivals (and beats) more expensive alternative.Lovely piano black finish to case. Switching off power does not lose stations, it does lose the clock settings but these self retune when first switched on to a Dab station. Sound fills the room with a bass enhancement switch on back.Optical output link. Remote control. Scrolling text. Plays from CD,SD card (MP3 & WMA).. Alarm - etc etc

- Blue light can be a little too bright. Dab signal strength dependant on your location.

+ good clear sound. local station is v/good

- telescoping erial position is a nuisance

+ Great design, fantastic sound, looks cool, sounds cooler

- Reviewer left no comment

+ I traded-in my 5-year-old Bose Wave radio/CD and bought the Roberts with the proceeds (with some change), which tells about the relative cost of the two. Dab sound from the Roberts is excellent, CD operation is smooth and the fact that it comes with USB interface is a bonus: good to choose from over 1000 tracks on a single USB stick. Looks and build quality are very good, though it is slightly bulkier than the Bose. I would disagree with other reviewers about the remote: it's no more flimsy than the Bose remote and has better functionality.

- This is a complaint you'll read elsewhere and believe me, it's absolutely true. If you want to use the Roberts in your bedroom, you'll either need to be happy sleeping bathed in bright blue light, or, like me, you'll have to improvise a shrowd to cover the ridiculously bright light, which barely dims when you switch the set off. Even with the set 10 feet away, the entire room is lit and it's very annoying.

+ it did everthing i expected it to do

- the remote control does not feel substantial but it works ok so can not complai
