Roberts RD-50

It's excellent we listen to the radio all the time now. Pause feature is good too.

Doesn't have charger built in so not very 'green'. Pause could be a little bit longer.

excellent modern digital radio in wonderful retro style

cost (but you get what you pay for!

Good quality sound, easy to operate, especially for those of us of a less technical nature. We love it.

Classic design, very good sound.

Can't attach an external aerial.

Very good product clear crisp sound quality.

Seemed to quickly run down on the batteries.

great retro design. very easy to use. sounds great. you get what you pay for and this is ace

Fantastic sound, extremly clear! and the design reminds me of the one my parents had whilst I was growing up! Very easy to use and looks good.

None in my opinoin!

wife loves the design

why no stereo speakers

Beautiful retro styling - quality leather.

Reception can still be variable. Miss the turntable underneath - one of the best features of the old Roberts.

uses batteries quickly

Stylish.

Puny little speaker and cheap construction. Dreadful sound quality for the price.

I love the bright red look of it, such a change from boring old grey --- and it's wonderfully easy to use. What's more, the instruction book isn't in pigeon English. Hurray!

None.

Great retro design, looks fab in my kitchen! :o)

Would have prefered silver/chrome to gold - ariel, knobs etc

A beautiful product that works as you'd expect a radio from Roberts.

Rather expensive!

Modern technology in a great retro design

It does what it says on the box!!!

None....Only that there is so many colours to choose from!!.

sstyling

lush sound ,good looks, probably gonna outlast my fancy ghetto blaster too

too dear really but perhaps not if its still pumping out radio 4 in 20 years.

Excellent all round DAB radio

Bit pricier than others on the market

Funky and red and looks fab in my kitchen

My kitchen's not finished so its in a box

All of the above. The flexibility of moving my radio around which in my working environment is absolutely the best thing. I love radio 4. This was one of my Christmas presents and I thought it was one of the best.

Ease of use is probably easier for someone other than me who does not want to engage too much with the technicalities mainly due to time. I keep promising myself time to read the booklet. As I answer this I am listening to radio 4 while preparing our office for business.

Really beautiful radio, good sound quality

Every bit as good as I hoped. I can't find any fault with it. A great combination of Roberts and Kath Kidston!

None

Display is not compatible with Swedish characters å,ä and ö in Sweden.

Its great

Would have prefered to have it with silver rather than gold antenna etc, but hey thats the way it comes.

all good

Lovely design, colour and compact shape

cost

Nice looking

Expensive

Stylish design nice retro appearance

Not that good sound quality.... Batteries do not last 5 minutes. Flimsy strap...Still nice though

very good your the cheapest online many thanks shaun

easy to use once you read the intructions

the only bad point wasnt the radio it self just that i couldnt get the colour i wanted

sound quality

Easy to use, great sound and great design.

Good design - handy pause button - good variety of stations

Not really appropriate if you want to listen to loud music

I love my radio - it looks fantastic and I can listen to so many different stations - many more than on any radio I have ever had. Sound quality is also great and it is very easy to use!

I am very pleased with my Roberts radio, I like the look and quality of the product. The sound is good and I particularly like the 'Pause Plus' and the 'Info' features

None

Good reception

1. Several stations have packed in since I purchased the radio. 2. The radio is very heavy on the batteries which I have had to change twice since purchase. With my old Roberts with the same use I only changed the battery about once a year

ease of use, retro design , informative display

none to date

I absolutely adore this radio - so pretty and yet sound quality and functions are excellent. Wouldn't be without a Roberts radio, and it's just a bonus to have one this pretty.

excellent retro design

display could be more visible

looks lovely

sound quality not great, certainly not as good as my Pure DAB Radio. Would like more presets too.

Very good design-easy to use

Love the star fabric

Far too expensive

Looks Good, Good Display, Easy to use, Reciption generally pretty good.

Price, i bought this as a christmas present for my mother and i have to say she was delighted. But it was very expensive although i do think u get what pay for. I paid for an excellent radio and thats what i got

stylish & easy to use.

expensive

styling

expensive

really fab retro style great colour !

Premium product at a premium price

If there are any bad points I haven't found them yet!

Retro looks and colour

expensive for what it is, the power transformer is big and ugly

Sound is excellent, and overall it 'feels' a quality product. Controls feel solid and well made, the radio itself is robust and has a good retro look. Very pleased overall. Lived up to hope/expectation. All the advantages of modern digital radio with the nostalgic look and feel of a 50s/60s product.

None found so far.

Stylish retro cool design, easy to use.

Can't store more than one favourite programme

very solid and excellent sound

Roberts' are the best when it comes to DAB radios. The Cath Kidson design was my daughter's choice as it was a Christmas present.

There are none.

Really good looking radio with brilliant sound quality even though its only mono, anyway you wouldn't be able to tell the difference of stereo on a set this size. It also is remarkably light to carry around, even with batteries fitted which is helped by having a soft, sensible handle you can actually get your hand round unlike a lot of other manufacturers' products we checked!

It does seem to gobble up batteries, though as we purchased two sets of rechargable batteries this does not cause us too much of a problem.

Colour and Design

Price

Best available price in the UK.

I live in a poor reception area!

Pause and rewind feature are quality

If you want an authentic looking wirteless with upto date DAB technology then this is the product you need to buy.

Price

Reception is good, Colour of radio lovely.

Retro design, clear detail and easy to use.

None to mention.

It's so pretty!

Great appearance and ease of use. Very simple.

Could be a bit cheaper for what it is. Slightly better speakers would be good.

love the sounnd quality

Matches the colour scheme for which it was bought.

The finish on the carrying strap is very poor - the material is roughly cut and the stitching irregular.

Good sound-Good Portability-Great Look

None

Nice bright warm display. good sound. Great disign, once had an original. delay is realy good ideal.

No tone control. Reception could be more sensitive,compairing it to a PURE radio I have.

styling, colour choice

no cassette player and digital receiption not good in out area so having to use FM

solid build, beautiful design, excellent sound quality, easy to operate.

quite expensive.
