Angie, Rochester

+ Very good, full sound, which is the main reason I bought a Roberts radio. I use it on mains power only so can't comment on battery life.

- The only thing I would like to see changed is the way the station presets are designed - they are small dials on the back which can go off-tune very easily - just by picking the radio up to move it. If anything touches these dials, they go off tune.

+ It is neat, compact, portable and easy to use.

- It is not always easy to pick up a good signal which hinders the sound/reception.

Vicki, Rotherham

+ Very good value for money, especially as it was far cheaper than from any other shop

- This product is quite difficult to tune in, and not the best signal.

Colin, Lerwick

+ A great simple radio, uncomplicated with good sound for the type and style. Beats some of the more modern versions with fancy tuners and gadgets hands down.

Richard, Longfield

+ This Item was purchased for a person aged 90. It is simple for them to use (once we set the pre set stations). The desigh makes it simple for them to use. A DAB radio is too awkward for them to operate and this is ideal.

- Would like a preset on AM.
To set up a preset is not easy for the aged to do themselves

Elved, Beds , “Casual listener”

+ good sound quality, straightforward radio bought for elderly parents

- Bought the model with preset buttons as thought that would be easier for elderly parents to avoid need to tune into stations. Did not realise there were TINY tuning dials on back of radio for each of the presets which were so sensitive and as easily touched by mistake went off the station. Should have been designed under a "flap". So these are not used and could have bought the cheaper model.
