5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely thing
I found this easy to set up, it connected to my WiFi at the press of the WPS button and configured itself. On speech radio such as Radio 4 it sounds really lovely, full sound, so sibilant-sss noises, clear. I wanted a streaming radio to replace a ten-year-old Roberts DAB which was struggling to maintain a clear DAB signal in our living room. Internet Radio is the way to go. Definitely worth installing UNDOK on your phone so you can control the radio remotely, and it is much easier to search and store preset stations via the app.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Radio When We Fathomed The Settings.
It looks fabulous in our room, lovely red colour and certainly not in your face. The setting up can be quite challenging as we found, but we succeeded in the end. The radio was shutting down exactly after 8 hours and didn’t know why. I contacted Roberts via email who weren’t much help at all. I did a factory reset which I thought helped but later found it didn’t, so I returned it to Bolo. The second one arrived and did exactly the same, I was confused as to what was happening. No help at all from anyone anywhere so I looked further into the settings, lo and behold, a default setting which is factory set shuts the radio down after 8 hours if the radio isn’t touched. I changed it to off, and bingo, it’s working perfectly. Why oh why didn’t the manufacturer pick up on this. These days you are expected to know everything, but when you are in your 70s it’s difficult.Roberts customer service was poor to say the least, the instructions are poor also, not consumer literate and basically useless.Saving a station is a mean feat on its own, but it’s done now. The default sound setting needs changing, I set the custom EQ to plus 4 treble and minus 2 on bass, but it’s personal preference.It sounds really nice, don’t expect hifi quality, it’s meant to sound like a retro radio, very rich and mellow.The internet setup is daunting but once done that’s it.I recommend this radio despite all the glitches, a lot of money I agree, but it’s worth it, especially when you can get thousands of channels via the internet and not troubled with reception like we are up north.
5.0 out of 5 stars It's like music to my ears - Good good good
The media could not be loaded. I love this radio. The sound in the video doesn't do it justice. It reminds me of long hot summers on the beach. It's very portable and looks amazing. The battery charges while it's plugged in so no need to charge batteries separately, and they last a good few hours. It's easy to tune and search for radio stations. I like older music and have found stations from all over the world which I have set so I can flip between them at a touch of a button. It's well worth the money. This radio has given me hours of entertainment. It's brilliant for taking on holiday so you can tune in to stations you can't find on regular radio.I cannot think of a single negative. It does what it's supposed to and it does it better than other radios of it's kind.If you want a bit of nostalgia, a stylish looking piece of kit and a sound quality that your ears will love, get this radio.
5.0 out of 5 stars These Seem to be World Famous
So good you can't really review them. These radios work perfectly and look great if you want something retro - which is also very rugged and durable. Quality is outstanding - I've had mine now for 4 years and it still looks like the day I opened the box. Nothing seems to be wearing. If you want to use batteries and Internet radio - me - then you'll have to get a battery charger for a 4-piece set of rechargeable batteries because it really gets through them in that mode. But no problems at all when plugged into a power socket. I have mine connected to external speakers and it sounds amazing as that way I'm getting full stereo and added hi-fi sound. And for me perfect Italian radio reception to practice my language comprehension. The internet radio function is just amazing as you can listen to radio for anywhere in any language - something you couldn't do easily before the internet - say before about 2005.This radio also does DAB and FM and Spotify etc - all in the description and it all works perfectly.Not a cheap radio - but one you'll keep - so make sure it's the colour you like - because you're going to be seeing it for years and years and years.
4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing little radio with big speaker sound, user experience could be improved.
I would have given this radio a 4.5 out of 5 if that were possible.The radio is beautifully finished and the sound quality is fantastic. There is an amazing full and warm sound.The only thing that lets this unit down is the user experience, it's just odd and not intuitive. For example, if you want to change station from the list of presets, the knob for this is on the right hand side. You have to turn the knob clockwise (up), to scroll down the list, and anti clockwise (down), to scroll up the list. This might not sound like a big deal, but if as I did you bought this for someone of an older generation this and other aspects of the user interface can be very confusing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome old school radio and digital speaker
They say you pay for what you get. This is a high quality product. I love it and use it daily. Fantastic piece of kit.
5.0 out of 5 stars Finally have a proper Roberts Radio
I've always had my eyes on a proper Roberts Radio - I bought a Roberts Stream a few years ago and whilst it functions the same as this model it didn't look the part.The Revival Stream looks and sounds great - as I say it functions the same as my previous model, but it definitely sounds better, which may be due to the wooden case.I just hope that the dials last longer than my older model, which now act in a completely random fashion.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound.
Really good radio. Like the retro look, love the sound quality, easy to program, excellent reception over WiFi, can't get radio any other way.
Best kitchen radio ever.
Very pleased. Value for (substantial) money.Very user friendly for setup and use. Great design, Kids and adults appreciated It alike. Only minor complaint for me in Italy was that It comes with a UK plug only.
Un cordon d'alimentation anglais...
Très bonne radio. La prise secteur possède une prise anglaise qui ne rentre pas dans nos prises françaises. J'ai dû donc commander un adaptateur. Autrement tout fonctionne bien, elle est aussi très belle.
Love it
Absolutely amazing! This was the best upgrade I made from Robert's Rambler BT radio. The sound quality to me is great and I love the fact that I can connect it to the home network and continue to watch videos or make calls on my phone without it broadcasting the content. Connecting Spotify was easy as well as tuning the radio stations and presetting my favourites. Definitely a worthwhile investment and I couldn't recommend it more.
Good sound with internet stations
The quality of sound was initially disappointing but I found that was only with FM stations. With internet, which you tend to use mostly, the sound quality was great. We have found favourite stations in Cuba...great music!
Ships with a UK plug
Great little radioWould be even better if it shipped with a plug appropriate for the country of destination! It is really not that hard to include a EU plug in the box, this seems like an odd omission
