Super little radio that (almost) doubles as a bedside radio
What a great idea, this is really two radios in one: a compact impressive-sounding portable radio and a bedside radio alarm. It comes in a pleasing soft grey with a white back. Despite the size it has good volume and doesn't sound tinny. In my area DAB reception didn't require extending the telescopic aerial which is needed only for FM. There's also an AUX input and headphone jack. Setup and tuning were simple and the menu system well thought out. There's a full manual booklet in the box which was welcome. The display is sharp with brightness adjustable in six stages both in 'on' and standby mode. In standby mode you have a choice of large analogue clock or digital clock with day and date - useful for those of us who wake up not knowing what day it is. As an alarm clock radio it has virtually the same features as a dedicated model except that the large clock display disappears when the radio is on. The time is there on the top right of the screen but is too small to see when you're in bed. It's a pity Roberts didn't provide an option to leave the clock on-screen when the radio is on. Also six presets (three DAB, three FM) are only just enough. But for £35 this represents great value and I'm really pleased I bought it.

A really good purchase.
Over the years I have tried various Bedside Radios, and despite good reviews found that they nearly always failed in some respect - usually poor quality of sound. This PLAYM4 Digital Radio Alarm is made by Robertts who have a high reputation, and are often a bit costly BUT this came with a price of just under £60.00 which is very good value indeed. I very much liked the simple straightforward design along with the sheer simplicity of the controls. It could not have been easier to install, and the auto-tuning and presets are simple and effective. It has been really well thought-out and looks as good as it is. The quality of sound is very good. One simple word sums it all up - EXCELLENT !

Fab little radio
I have one of the larger cased Robert's Revival Radios which no longer colour matched my kitchen and didnt want to spend the same kind of money so purchased this as an alternative. Love it!! Neat and compact with an really good sound quality. Ideal for a kitchen diner

Alarm unreliable
Sadly, the alarm is very unreliable. On a number of occasions now it has failed, meaning a backup is required as of course there's no way to predict whether or not it will work.As a radio, no complaints but as it was purchased specifically as an alarm this is disappointing, particularly from such a reputable manufacturer.
