PlayFMW A Great FM portable at a great price
Bought this for my mother who is tech phobic and has hearing problems. She loves the simplicity of the controls. Tuning is easy and stable. The sound is good for her despite her hearing loss. The supplied batteries died quite quickly and caused tuning drift and erratic performance. But easily solved with fresh batteries and these were clearly poor battery vs radio problems. Overall very happy with this well priced radio. Good to see Roberts competing so strongly on price, quality and inclusive, quick delivery.

Very pretty and good quality
This is a very nice looking, stylish digital radio. Reception is very good in all places I have used it and, for the size of the radio the sound is good. The controls are so simple that my 78 year old mother was operating her one without any issues and she is a complete technophobe 😂.
We liked it so much we bought another for us after seeing her’s.

My wifedoes not do digital so I thought this would be a good option - and it is. I have given it five stars but I do have a slight niggle which is that the tuning control is a bit coarse meaning you have to have a steady hand to get exactly on frequency, but once there the reception and sound are excellent. It looks good as well.

Ease of use.
We bought a small Roberts radio for our Aunt who was in hospital, it is simple to use, with digital display meaning it was easy to find the exact frequency of any particular radio station. Both battery or cable powered meaning it is quite versatile. Reception appears excellent.

Play FM - Great Little Radio
Bought this for those occasions where there is no phone signal to stream. It’s a great, retro looking wee radio. Works as expected, battery powered or USB powered (not rechargeable).

Nice bit of kit if only it worked.
Simple to operate, good sound, a bit too delicate on the tuning. Would have been good value if if hadn't stopped operating properly after a couple of weeks. It would then play for a minute or so, after which it would got into intermittent mode, going into silence for a few seconds, revive for another few seconds, relapse again, repeat, until I switch off in despair. I would be quite happy to buy another one provided it worked. I'm sure this is simply a one-off faulty set.

Excellent !
Excellent little radio. This is the second one I’ve bought so we can just leave it up at our caravan whilst we keep the first one at home.

Very happy with my radio
Very happy with my purchase. It behaves like and looks like a transistor radio of old, which is what I wanted. Good look, good price.
