Roberts R9993 Portable 3-Band LW/MW/FM Battery Radio with Headphone Socket - White

I really wasn’t sure what sort of quality this radio would be , but I am very pleased with it. It is a basic radio with tuning controlled by a knob which is lovely and simple. With batteries you can have it wherever you want, although I understand there is a plug in lead for an extra tenner. Sound is good enough for basic radio listening. It has an extendable aerial so reception should not be a problem. Although it is not expensive it doesn’t come across as a cheap radio. A good functional radio which does what it should.

I had my eye on this radio for quite a while, but was abit anxious about how it'd sound. When I originally found this model it was only available in one colour silver, but then this year Roberts introduced two new colours black, & white. I saw the white on here and was sold immediately! It's so unusual, got it home & was amazed at the sound reproduction for such a small radio, but then it is a Roberts. Will be using it throughout the festive period. it hasn't been off since I received it! If your wondering about a mains adapter then I use a multipurpose switching adapter that I can change the voltage & polarity, this set takes 6V with a NEGATIVE Centre Pin. Or can be powered from 4x AA batteries. I am delighted! Perfect for radio 4... who needs DAB? :)

Wanted this as back up for when we have no power, just to keep in touch with outside world. Not so bad but not a great amount of stations, but as long as we get something, is good in an emergency.

I've had one of these radios previously for a few years & loved it; unfortunately it got broken when having renovations done so was eager to replace it. I've used it both with batteries & power lead; I've found good quality batteries last for some time. The audio quality is extremely clear & it's just very easy to use & carry around as required. Highly recommend.

I had an old Roberts radio like this one that lasted years in the bathroom, so hoped this would be able to replace it. It was utterly useless - right from the start it was slow to respond to being switched on and, within a couple of minutes of turning on the shower, the radio would start to make dreadful stuttering noises, making it impossible to listen to. Exceptionally low quality for the price and, as I only wanted it as a cheap bathroom radio, it was worse than useless, as it only worked outside the bathroom.

FOR A SMALL INEXPENSIVE BATTERY POWERED RADIO, THIS IS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. THE CONTROLS ARE EASY TO USE AND THE SOUND IS REALLY GOOD CONSIDERING THE SMALL SIZE. I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING ON BATTERY LIFE AS I'VE NOT HAD IT LONG ENOUGH BUT, OVERALL I AM DELIGHTED WITH MY PURCHASE AND CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Needed a radio to pick up LW and FM for when my EE internet is not functioning,a common occurrence of late. Opted for this Roberts ,mainly going by the reputation of the name,had it a few days now,at best it is okay. Sound quality " tinny" ,not a patch on my "Alexa" ,and no means of positive fine tuning to get rid of background " hiss". It is light and easy to move about,looks good but has a very " cheap plasticy feeling". Okay value for the money ,just. To much bother to return it so it is now in daily use . Brand name reputation is watered down by this particular product.

A great radio. This was a gift for my elderly mother. Unfortunately, this radio is being supplied with the incorrect batteries. The radio works with AA batteries - i was supplied with AAA batteries and its advertised with AAA batteries. This is incorrect - so do not do the deal with batteries. These AAA were £10 and no use with the radio at all. This should be supplied with AA batteries. So it's not a good deal at all. I am very disappointed as I can no longer contact anybody for queries and I have lost out on £10.

Je l’acheté pour écouter BBC Radio 4 longs ondes. C’était beaucoup à demander car le radio est petit, pas cher et je suis en France donc en principe hors zone pour capter le BBC... mais Roberts ont encore créé un produit d’exception. Je peux capter Radio 4 avec un qualité audio correct et sans tryde bruit parasite. Pour le prix c’est excellente. La réception des chaînes française est vraiment top sur FM. Super.

Je l ai choisie car je cherchais un petit transistor avec des grandes ondes mais j ai été déçue car il ne les captent pas

Puissance et son ne me convenaient Pas je n aimais pas cette forme rendu
