Roberts Solar DAB Reviews: DAB

+ Easy to use, good sound and portable. Battery gives good life and the solar is very cool.

- cant think of any

+ solar battery charges when switched off

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Well designed and good quality radio.

- I was disappointed that the radio does not recharge when it is not in use. I had the impression that you could stand it in the daylight and that it would charge itself when not in use. I think that this improvement could be incorporated in future models and make them more eco friendly.

+ battery time, ease of recharging, sound quality, portable aspect, solar capacity

- looks a little tacky i thought, but the 'typical roberts design' radios are twice the price i suppose

+ Solar powered, small, robust, nice feel to the controls.

- Mono speaker. Bit pricey compared with non-solar powered DAB radios.

+ An excellent machine. Physical appearance is very pleasing and it does everything it is advertised as doing.
I bought this for my 25 year old son for Christmas. He is absolyutely delighted, uses it all the time and says that itwas his best Xmas present.

- None

+ Good sound considering only mono

- Solar charging not as good as expected

+ Solar power

- Re-tunung needed for station change - and it would be immeasurably better if it had VHF as well!

+ Battery remains at reasonable charge with natural light. I have only had it plugged into the mains once since purcahse. Reasonable size and weight for a DAB radio. Simple clean design.

- Could do with a handle for carrying.

+ Looks ok.

- Very disappointed with the quality of the reception after all the advertising for DAB radios.
Even in full sunlight the battery went flat after only a few hours.Definitely not suitable for long periods of listening in a country where sunlight is never going to be an all day occurence.

+ Excellent design, neat, compact, clean lines, user-friendly, solar charging even in miserable overcast days, up to and beyond quality expected of a Robertson product, well done!

- Still waiting to find one!

+ Easy to use; good storage for presets; eco-friendly; and it looks good.

- Can't think of any.
