Roberts introduce the next generation solarDAB radio. This stylish and compact DAB/FM portable radio has a solar panel integrated into the top of the unit which absorbs direct sunlight in order to power the radio. There is a level indicator on the display screen that shows the power level generated by the solar panel. Under good conditions, there is sufficient power generated to charge the batteries and power the radio. The built in rechargeable battery pack is charged whenever the solar panel receives direct sunlight. Once fully charged, the low power consumption of solarDAB allows the batteries to power the radio for up to 27 hours without the need to recharge them. The radio can then be used away from sunlight or mains electricity until recharging becomes necessary.

WE bought this radio to replace an elderly, battery-fed Sony for use in the bathroom - 'Today' programme, Classic FM mainly. Finding it time-consuming to recharge the batteries for the old radio was bad enough, but then it started to crackle and drop off the signal - until shaken! We had thought of a DAB radio before but had been put off by shop assistants who doubted the strength of the signal in our area, plus our own research on the internet which suggested we were in a poor-ish reception area. Consequently we put off buying such a radio, but did look at non-DAB solar powered examples. Very recently a Google search led me to the Roberts radio of this review. As it had an FM capability and was also Solar - powered, it fitted the bill - my husband and I had 'written off' the DAB facility because of warnings mentioned above.
When it arrived I charged up the internal batteries, put the radio in the usual position on a shelf in the bathroom and switched on. First impressions were of a very good sound quality and of a very well finished, attractive radio. Instructions were comprehensive and easy to follow. While reading these I glanced at the DAB tuning instructions and thought "nothing ventured, nothing gained". To our great delight, the Roberts very quickly tuned in to Radio 4 and Classic FM, with a strong signal (strength of which can be checked in the display panel on the radio, along with many other aspects of the machine.
To sum up - the Roberts Solar DAB 2 radio is absolutely excellent. It looks good, performs superbly and has a solid, reassuring feel to it. It is also fairly small, with a very useful indent at the rear to allow it to be picked up and carried easily. It charges very successfully on the window sill from sunlight through frosted glass. It is so good we have decided to buy another one for use downstairs, in the kitchen / conservatory. We have decided to pre-order a green one (due out in early September). I would thoroughly recommend this radio to anyone.

I first saw this radio reviewed in 'The Times' with a glowing recommendation. I have needed a radio in the bathroom and garden for quite a while and this certainly
fits the bill. I have no complaints other than it would be good to be able to adjust the tone as it's just a little 'soft' - good for music perhaps but I could do with a bit more 'edge' to the speech-based Radio 4; however, I still give it 5 out of 5!

I bought this for my mum for her birthday and she is really happy with it. It is quite compact so can be moved around very easily and she really likes the fact that she can take it into the garden without having to plug it in or worry about the batteries running out.
The sound is very good too. A great, versatile radio.
