Susan, Carluke

+ There is an input socket for an iPod/MP3 player.
It's simple to use.
Display is clear.
The record facility is hand, and doesn't add to the cost

- Really scraping the barrel .... but I bought the black version, but the mains lead is white - it spoils the look

Christian, Swansea , “Avid Radio Fan”

+ It is fairly easy to use once you have played with it for a while - the pause function is great - the record function is brilliant. It looks great and Roberts is a great name in Radio.

- Could have easier buttons to record - sometimes loses reception for the briefest of time but still a little annoying.
