Roberts SOLARDAP-P Solar Powered DAB Radio wth Rechargeable Battery Pack - Pink
solarDAB is the world's first solar powered DAB radio. This stylish and compact 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 diplay screen that shows the strength of the solar level being absorbed, if the level is over half, the unit is being powered directly by the sun. The built in rechargeable battery pack is being continuously charged whilst the radio is in direct sunlight. Once charged, the batteries will last up to 27 hours, the radio can then be used in complete darkness for this period until it will need re-charging either by sunlight or the mains adaptor.

This radio arrived on the date notified by the seller.
Am really pleased with it; easy to use and set up; picks up loads more stations that my old DAB radio. Surprisingly good sound for its size.
My house is situated directly North/South, so after initial 24 hour charging I have found that I can leave it (with volume turned right down for maximum charge) on sunny windowsill at front of house first thing while I walk the dogs, then it seems to be fully charged for me to use in my home office on the "dark side" of the house...
I love the design and colour; am trying to justify the expense of buying another one as I love it so much when actually it is so neat and portable one set is fine for all my needs!
I see on the Roberts home page that a green model is made but cannot find where to buy one;Amazon and other sites don't seem to offer it..

What a great little radio!! I can take it anywhere in the house or outside and still get good reception. And then leave it in a sunny spot to charge up whilst I'm not using it. I love free energy!! Plenty of stations, plenty of presets and very easy to use. Magic!

This little pink DAB radio is the best purchase I have made in ages. It even charges in natural light not just sunlight. We have it on the table in the garden at the weekend when we are eating breakfast or in the beach hut when we are chilling out there. Makes us want to start using solar power to run our home.

Great product - well loved by daughter - boyfriend isn't too happy with the colour! She says it is great and works without full sun

This is the second Roberts solar radio I've purchased. This one was a present for my son. They are great - really good quality sound and very easy to use. We use ours for working in the garden with the radio charging itself up in the sun while we listen to all our favourite DAB stations. It will also recharge in the sun when switched off and indoors if there is no sun the batteries can be charged from the mains. The display is clear and the overall compact size and weight of the radio make it a very handy indoor and outdoor item.

having bought a exdisplay unit from hughes i discovered that the charging unit was faulty, even in full sunshine the unit was not charging up, sent this back, got refund and decided that i would bite the bullet and get a brand new unit from amazon. the unit has now been plugged in for almost a week and the battery bar indicates its still being charged! it should take about 24 hours, so i am know in the process of returning and getting a replacement from amazon and hopefully 3rd time lucky, the radio is just what i need, small, good sound, light, and powered by solar, you don,t expect such problems from manufacturer like Roberts but will give it one more try and hopefully have a unit that works properly

I've had the white version of this radio for a month now and it has been in use every day. After the initial charge of the battery, it has run on free sunlight since, even on a north facing window sill. I put it in full sun once a week to keep it topped up. Very easy to tune into preset station mode and, even though I'm in a digitally weak reception area, I can still fill all the pre-sets. It is a doddle to change stations in a few seconds by pressing a couple of buttons. My only slight criticism, which stopped me awarding 5 stars, is that there is no tone control. For the size of the speaker the sound is pretty well balanced for music and has a nice tone, but for speech it is a little 'boomy' and could do with a treble control. Other than that, it's a great little portable, built to Roberts normal high standard, that I'm happy to recommend. I might even get another one for the workshop where the wife can't fiddle with it!

I bought this radio for my mum's birthday, as she still had an old analogue radio.
Info: I live close to Heathrow Airport. And I pick up all stations.
When I plugged the radio in, it started searching for stations, and I selected Magic, and I was really surprised on the clear sound!! AND I had forgot to screw the aerial in!! And yet the sound was clear, so for the moment the aerial is still in its storage compartment at the back of the radio.
I am just waiting for the sun to hit my windowsill.
The radio is small and compact. I would describe it as cute. The controls feel really nice to press because they are soft and smooth.
The volume is really good, and it goes up really high. I haven't been able to turn it ALL the way up because it seriously gets too loud for my ears!!
I was a bit scared when I bought this item for a gift for my mum, as I wasn't sure I would pick up all the channels, and I didn't want it to be a disappointment. And thankfully it hasn't been :)
Right the sun is almost hitting my windowsill. So I am off to watch the solar power bar grow haha!

A great little radio if you have a sunny windowsill on which to keep it - I've used mine for about 45 mins each day during the winter and apart from the initial charge I've only had to top it up from the mains once. On gloomier days it helps if you tilt the radio towards the light - the aerial is sturdy enough to lean on. Could be improved by slightly quicker tuning (my Pure Tempus switches between stations much more quickly) and a less fiddly method of selecting preset stations, but otherwise I'm very pleased with it.

I bought this great little radio to accompany me in the garden. DAB reception in our area is poor so I am thrilled that this has caused very little problem for this radio once the aerial is fully extended. No handle results in the aerial being used as a substitute handle though! It has remained fully charged so no problems there, though I must say, I'm a bit of a fair weather gardener making the most of the sunny days.
By J. D. Pallant (uk)
done the initial 24 hr mains charge, radio very easy to set up and good sound, after a couple days out in the garden i noticed that the battery indicator was going down dispite being in full sun. Now the radio is turning itself off and is not charging via solar panel. Have phoned roberts technical support and they have advised that the charging system is faulty
By converted cook (Oakham, UK)
The best radio we have every bought. classy appearance, user friendly to handle. Controls very easy to use and logically laid out. Station tuning an innovation and reception brilliant. Solar power option a bonus. Great value for money. We will probably be buying another Roberts and junk another radio we have.
By D. Park (Yorkshire)
Though not that cheap for its size, been using it on a regular basis and had to charge it only once(the initial charge). It gets used on our allotment(its windy) and the volume is great. Saying all this not sure it will last the 27 hours the instructions claim, however I listen on a high volume, on a bright sunny day it charges up well. We leave it on our window ledge when not being used and the sun does all the work. Excellent buy, off camping soon this will test it as it does not have an in car charger(perhaps Roberts should provide one, even greener!)
By Sue (South West England)
As long as the radio is left in a sunny place - windowsill for example - it continues to charge but is also backed up by the initial plug-in charge. Reasonable tone, compact and durable casing. Great for carrying around the house or listening to outdoors. The price was well below shop prices and the supplier - Hughes direct - was absolutely fantastic. The radio arrived within a couple of days and the transaction was backed up by e mail info on its status so I always knew what was happening - a very streamlined and efficient service.
