Even before the cost of living crisis and the run away charges for electricity, I was moving towards being as carbon neutral as possible. Using a radio during the day for the news (powered by solar) meant less use of the TV. But with my old Pure Radio, I needed a 12v output, requiring fairly bulky set up of battery, solar controller and panel. So I was looking for something simpler, that could follow me around the house. At this price (£19.99) I was expecting a cheap looking device with poor, but hopefully adequate sound for Radio 4 and other spoken word stations. But on opening I was pleasantly surprised, it looked like a traditional radio and not obviously cheap.After turning it on and easily finding Radio 4, I was quite impressed by the sound quality. The relatively large speaker delivers a full sound, much like the sound from the far more expensive DAB pure radio. It can be easily charged by a 5v USB solar panel, and the charge maintained (or at least extended) by placing next to a window. So in effect, is free to use. Also freeing up the larger 12v solar charging unit, I can now easily keep my laptops charged up by solar power. I haven't as yet used the Bluetooth, or usb or SD card music playing system as I have other larger Bluetooth speakers more suited to music. However, if travelling light, I imagine these functions will prove useful. I certainly expect to use the SD card for audio books. I've only had the device for one day, so I cannot comment on durability, but I am optimistic that if treated carefully, it will last.

Was a bit worried it’ll be cheap quality given the price however it’s a very good little radio and speaker. Gave it to my dad for his birthday and he loves it

Good radio. Excellent sound quality and reception. Built well for what you pay so good value. Recommended.....

Really good radio and so nice to look at retro really good

Love this radio it was louder then expected the battery life usually lasts about a week tops so not bad it’s a great size and fits nicely on my windowsill only issue is there isn’t a lot of radio stations but other then that love the rain and it has a great colour to it makes it pop and gives it that retro feel to it

Nice radio and good sound.I thought it would charge when the it was turned off,but it didn't. I was going to return it but as an afterthought I checked in the battery compartment and noticed the battery had a plastic tab to be removed,it don't mention that in the description. Charging fine now.

Nice looking and good sound but there was no DC cord. I used the USB cord connected to a plug to DC but the battery is dead and the radio won't turn on. Missed return window by a day. Not happy at all.

Nice radio with good features. However, plugged the supplied usb-c lead into the charging socket. Nothing. Wiggle it around and sometimes the charge led would come on. Then move it and the charge led would go off. Repeat again, again and again. So sent the item back someday for a refund

Have been using this radio for months now. Works great. I find that it loses stations when you turn it off, though. I have a favorite weak station between two powerful stations. If I leave it tuned to my favorite station when I turn it off, it always lands on one of the adjacent powerful stations when I turn it on, so I have to re-tune it. This tells me that it's not an analog radio, even though the dial appears to be analog. I think it's just an analog dial that tunes a digital radio; otherwise it'd stay tuned exactly where I left it when I turned it off. This isn't a real problem, so much as it's just an observation. The gripe I've got is the volume control -- it's wired UPSIDE DOWN! To turn the volume up, turn the knob down. To turn the volume down, turn the volume up. No idea why they'd wire it up this way, but it's not intuitive and is pretty irritating. If the power switch was separate, it wouldn't be a problem. But the VOL and PWR are the same knob, so you can't just set the volume and leave it there. It looks like an analog radio, I think the sound quality is fantastic for this price point, the Bluetooth works great, and picks up stations great. In my original review, I knocked off a star because of volume control was wired upside down. That was an irritating "feature," but upon reflection it didn't seem like something important enough to penalize them a whole star for! So I edited my review up to five stars. We use this radio on a daily basis, catching our favorite talk radio station during breakfast. We've been using it for many months, and it's still a terrific little radio. And it looks cool. Everybody knows if stuff looks cool, it works better. :-)
