I am not particularly “tech savvy” but once I had the hang of the instructions, it all became very clear. This clock is for use in the bedroom and I successfully set the time, the alarm, my preset programmes and my favourites so that I don’t have to scroll through dozens of DAB stations, and my preferred setting of bass and treble. Once I had set the latter, the sound is excellent. The radio itself is very good looking, and surprisingly small for such a good performance. I use the AC mains plug, so cannot comment on battery usage. Oh, and the LCD display is very clear and easy to read. I dare say this radio has other attributes, but I am all for the simple life and I have set up what I need!
Love this little Roberts Radio! I have one already in the regular size (which I’ve had for over 10 years). Bought this additional one, but didn’t realise that it’s a little smaller – but it’s actually rather nice and neat. Fabulous brand, great quality and looks super too.
Good radio
Poor using rechargeable battery’s
Run out quickly with these 4 x AA ‘S
Broke the aerial while turning it upside down to change batteries,
Contacted roberts to purchase new one never heard such rubbish in all my life speaking to them regarding buying spare parts from them,
I thought they were a quality company
Sound rich and clea
Superb sound just the right size for our kitchen and looks grea
literature said base & treble options, but could’nt find any. Sound is quite ‘base’ heavy.
Loved the size and the sound from it is brillia
For my friend summer bungalow as they don’t use a televisio
This is a super little radio, a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but the sound is excellent. Easy to use. I deducted one star because it is very expensive.
Such a great little radio ….. So glad I took a risk buying one ….. It’s so handy and retro looking …. Just as good as the pictures. Sound quality is great (for me)…. Picks up stations well too
Everything I expected of Roberts and more! Easy to use, good sound and the quality of the radio is excellent. Battery life not checked as yet. Very happy with the Uno!!
I love the colour. I am into reds. The sound qualuty is good. My grandson done his bes to twist the antennae but so far failed to break it off. That is good!
This looks lovely with my new cream bedroom furniture. I listen to Radio 2 most mornings but once I start to move around signal goes and it sounds like I am in Base Camp Everest in a highwind. Dissppointing.
This model has good sound quality and tuning is easy.
Although a lot smaller than the last Roberts i bought over twenty years ago,
I suppose it’s a bit like wagon wheels are smaller now although they won’t
Admit it !!.
The radio stopped working after 3 months, but was replaced by makers immediately and new one is perfect. Neat, nice colour and tone.
I looked at a lot of options for DAB radios but I’ve had Roberts before and know how good their reputation and quality is so in the end this was a no brainer. Quality, sound and ease of use is second to none. Various colours available which is always a bonus.
his was a birthday gift to me , and i have to say i wasn’t disappointed , beautiful colour , great sound and also will be a beautiful hand me down for decades to come …worth the money if a little more than most radios
I have just received my new Roberts radio so now learning to use the controls and to change to slightly more treble than what was set. Delivered on time was well packed and in pristine condition. I chose the dove grey, the outer casing of a quality of what looks like a good faux leather. Light weight with carrier handle, user book and guarantee and the usual connections.
I have waited a long time for this little gem so I hope I will continue to be happy with the purchase.
Good product to have playing around the house, best to use with the power lead, unless you want to change the batteries every two weeks!
Once you’ve read the instruction manual on how to set up and use, it’s a doddle.
Keep it up Roberts.
I love the design. Its easy to navigate. I find the tone a little deep for my liking. It maybe that it can be altered, but I haven’t discovered how to do that yet! I haven’t tried the sleep mode as I am using it the kitchen. A good quality radio.
Only draw back is batteries don’t last long as they are small ones and you then need to plug it in. My old radio used to charge up but this needs to be plugged i
My wife wanted one for Christmas so I obliged. The setting up is so easy, just press scan and a few minutes later, just select the station you want. The sound quality is lovely and rich even though the bit rate of the majority of DAB stations in the UK is quite low. It’s the old adage, you pay for what you get… a lovely rich sounding radio
Haven’t encountered such a small unit making such a rich sound , I’d forgotten how good sound should be from a radio ! To the point of wondering if I should use the EQ to make it sound more like I’m used to ,….. awesome quality – you get what you pay for.
I’m very taken indeed with this Roberts Revival Uno Compact radio. It is a little smaller than I expected, though that is convenient; and the duck egg colour doesn’t seem light blue to me, more light grey. Yet it is a really superb radio, beautiful sound, DAB quality is excellent, and it has a realistic sound for music and the human voice that belies its smallish size. (Treble-bass can be altered if one wishes, though I’m happy with the default settings). Comparing it to my (very) old and larger Grundig Music Boy, the orchestral or jazz music sounds are richer and more distinct in this Roberts; it is if one can hear the different instruments more separately in their own right. The timbre and personality of the human voice comes across superbly. It is a real pleasure to listen to. I’m delighted that it is made in the UK. It took me a little patience to set up, but the controls, presets, ‘favorites’ etc. are very well thought out and organised and it is easy to use. I’ll probably buy another now for another part of my house, though in a more lively colour.
Great little quality radio with that wonderful retro look. Once it is all tuned in automatically being able to select your 4 or 5, or however many you want, favourite stations so you can just flick through them and not have to go through all the other stations is a great idea.
Sometimes struggle with the tuning goes in and out of the station I’m listening too but could have something to do where is positioned in the house!!! sound quality is very good though great listening experience
What a brilliant wee piece of kit! I had one of the full size versions of this radio back in the ’60s. They were good then and have stood the test of time! Some may consider it to be a bit pricey, but I believe it is money well spent on a timeless classic.
There is a comprehensive owner’s handbook. This Roberts radio was expensive and I shall expect it to last several years. First impressions are good and the product is as advertised, including the purple colour..
Update 20 Nov2020. This radio seems to require Duracell Batteries to work on the battery power option. Other batteries tried did not work. The instructions simply say AA batteries are required.
I love this. The powers amazing sound quality amazing. Lil disappointed have to go to the dearer models to get a USB port. But that’s nothing major. Runs well off batteries but is a lil power hungry. But with the quality of sound I am not suprised.
She either doesnt use it out of misunderstanding or she forgets about it.
That was until the Roberts Revical Radio!
My Nan find this radio easy to use and I’ve heard the quality, it’s not bad at all!
I find this to be an excellent gift for people who don’t know there way around tech and could do with a little background noise to fill a quiet enviroment.
It’s so tiny…? Why so small? It’s half the size of the one I bought my partner. (But as expensive).
It does the job but if you’re going to buy a classic product then part of the pleasure is the look of it. It feels too small to have any reasonable impact. Disappointed
Amazing compact Robert’s radio It has a brilliant sound and high volume if needed Often even with aerial down you get great sound and many stations but to get some dab channels you need aerial up We use rechargeable batteries and it is fine Our bathroom is teal colours and it is perfect match colour wise Very portable with carry strap You can get huge amount of stations and the radio also looks a very neat stylish design Amazing classy bit of ki
NB. The colour is a dark lilac purple.
