Roberts RAMBLER UNO FM/DAB/DAB+ Digital Radio with Bluetooth, Duck Egg

Love this little radio. Surprisingly good, well balanced sound. Great reception - I can walk it from room to room. You can pair it with your phone, tablet or media player too. Has built in FM for those that need it. Really like this colour which seems in-vogue with modern kitchen decor? More expensive than other units of a similar size but the design of it makes it sound bigger than it is. Sounds cleaner and less "huffy" a few inches away from any wall. Has a headphone socket with decent quality audio output for headphone listening. It has grippy feet and doesn't vibrate on any surface I have placed it on. If you put rechargeable AA size batteries in the bottom (flick a little switch in the battery bay to select the battery type) it will charge them up whilst plugged in. Elegant design feature in my book as I can unhook from the mains and move the radio anywhere in the house and my listening is not interrupted.

This is a little powerhouse. It's compact, feels beautifully made, looks elegant in a retro / modern way, and is full of features. It's portable and fully a 'wireless' radio - pop 4 x rechargeable AA batteries in and it automatically recharges them when plugged in. The display stays on while in battery mode and that's not always the case! That display includes a battery level indicator, also always on. Audio is impressive and has depth and clarity for a small unit. It has an equaliser in the settings - so you can easily adjust treble, bass and loudness (bass at low volume I think) to your taste. It's very much a radio up to serious music listening. There's a travel lock on the back, ideal if you're taking it with you. There's one on my Rambler Mini - a great little idea they've built on here. The power cable for mains goes in the back, not underneath - much better. Headphone jack there too. On top of the radio are 2 separate, dedicated preset favourites buttons for instant access. Brilliant. These in addition to the 'heart' preset button which saves up to 20 stations. The controls have been particularly well designed and prioritised. It's solid, weighty, and the buttons and knobs are all firm and sturdily made. It's a quality item and is unquestionably a step up in design, build and performance to any previous Roberts Rambler model.

I bought this as a present to replace a very old Roberts Radio (over 20years old) that was now faulty. This is compact but despite that the sound is good. It is well made and is attractive to look at. It has both DAB and FM so is suitable for all reception. The reception is very good in both modes. It can be used with batteries or from the mains.. The recipient was thrilled with this radio which works anywhere in her house without a problem. I fully expect it to last as long as the one it replaced. Recommended.

In my view this radio is perfect. Lovely small portable size, beautifully made, excellent ergonomics, looks beautiful, fabulous rich sound from such a small radio with plenty of power, and very easy to operate controls etc. Reception sensitivity is also excellent on DAB. Another bonus is that you can fit rechargeable batteries and charge them in the radio using the supplied power adaptor. Brilliant! Highly recommended. Excellent value for money.

Simple to programme. Quality sound. Compact stylish model.

Excellent radio with an amazing speaker, outstanding sound quality. Perfect for the kitchen and when travelling.

It has a very compact size but still a good weight of around 800 gr for good sound. After being very disappointed with the first rambler BT reissue four or five years ago this one is a fully satisfying portable radio: good sound (passive radiator), good reception and most important a really cool 60ies / 70ies retro look. BT 5.3 works just great with my phone. I like the fact that you can charge AA-batteries inside the radio, there is a small switch in the batterie-compartment for alkaline or NiMh. The battery life of one charge is not as long as a of a good BT-Speaker with Li-Ion battery but with 6-8 hours it should be long enough for a trip to the park, garden or pool. The only suggestion for improvement would be an AUX-In / Line-Out, a visible badge of the royal warrant on the radio itself and a wider variety of colours. The price should be under 100 GBP on the long run but even at RRP it is worth it. Good job roberts!

Be very careful this product comes WITHOUT the rechargeable batteries. The battery compartment is empty. But the details do NOT tell you this when you read the blurb

Ultraelegantes kleines Kofferradio mit Charme. Es sieht unverschämt schön und schlicht aus, es ist sehr leicht zu verstehen und zu bedienen. Es kann auch als Bluetooth- Lautsprecher agieren - die Paarung mit meinem iPad ging fast von selbst. Es läßt sich mit eingelegten Akkuzellen betreiben, die auch noch im Gerät bei Anschluß ans Netz nachgeladen werden. Es ist schön klein zum Mitnehmen auf die Reise. Dafür habe ich es hauptsächlich gedacht. Dafür hätte ich mir noch einen Transportbeutel gewünscht. Der Netzstecker hat leider die Form von der Insel, hier braucht man noch einen Adapter für Europäische Buchsen. Dann wird es etwas klobig. Will man es über USB betreiben, muß man noch einen weiteren Adapter besorgen. Aber der ist recht klein. Das Gerät läuft an USB, lädt aber die Akkus dann nicht nach. Der (Mono-) Klang ist für mich ausreichend gut. Das muß eh jeder selbst für sich entscheiden. Alles in allem vermittelt es eine Wertigkeit, die ohne Mißgeschick ein Leben lang halten wird. Und das ist doch auch ein wenig Umweltschutz, oder?

Bellissima radio con un suono stupendo. Molto bella anche esteticamente. Facile da apprendere il funzionamento anche se le istruzioni sono solo in inglese, basta eventualmente farsi aiutare da un traduttore presente sugli smartphone. Un unico appunto da fare alla casa produttrice é quello di non aver inserito all'interno della confezione un adattatore con la spina da inglese a europeo, del resto la radio ha un discreto costo pertanto un acquirente se lo aspetta questo "regalo". In conclusione bisogna acquistare l'adattatore a parte! Per il resto, lo ripeto, è una splendida radio degna del nome che porta. Consigliatissima!

Schönes DAB Radio,super klang für die Größe. Liebe diesen Retro Look

It comes with UK plug, which I didn’t know - I can’t use that as we are in Germany otherwise radio is great
