I bought this radio on the strength of the Roberts name and the three reviews on this page. I was not disappointed. It's a cracking radio,solidly built with a great sound. Its easy to use,and has two possible power sources.You can use the mains adaptor or batteries,either rechargable(the radio will recharge them when not in use)or the ordinary alkaline.You just have to move a small switch to tell the radio which type of battery you are using. It tunes into all DAB stations when you first switch it on and its a simple job to store up to six channels, and also with the FM band.
Excellent radio.

I needed a small DAB radio with good reception and output and this is just what I've got. It provides excellent coverage with virtually no aerial extension where we live in Somerset and has performed equally well on a caravan site in south Devon. Simple to use and does most of the hard work for you. I like the idea of using rechargeable batteries and having them recharged, in situ, by just using the mains transformer from time to time. What would I have liked - an alarm function, but I knew it didn't have it, so this is just me being greedy. For anyone lookling for a small, portable DAB radio with great performance, look no further.Roberts Ecologic 1 DAB/FM RDS Radio with built-in AA charger

Roberts radios previously purchased have been of the highest quality and this has ensured that I look again at their range for a portable model.
The Ecologic 1 model seemed to meet my requirements as this was either mains or battery operated and the batteries were indicated as being recharged when mains connected.
It was received very quickly and has performed well so far as operation and reception are concerned.
The only caveat is that it is not immediately clear from the item description that the set of batteries are not included and subsequently in use I have found that the duration of operation on battery power is not as long as I had expected.
Overall I am pleased with my new purchase.

I was extremely pleased with this as a Christmas gift to replace the long-serving FM/LW radio in my kitchen. The reception had never been brill and microwave and other electric items in the kitchen rendered it inaudible. This Roberts is light years ahead of the old one. The sound is great; it is simple to operate; it is mains and rechargeable-battery operated and still has the option of FM Band. FM is still useful as I can used it to pick up local stations which digital cannot get (I want Radio Stoke from 45 miles away!)
This radio is priced less that my first DAB radio, 50 quid as opposed to 80 quid. It has extra features and 6 presets for each band giving 12 in total - ample for me.

I have bought two of these radios - the first for my ex-wife as a Christmas present because FM reception was so bad - and the second for me because she and I were so impressed with it. Reception is excellent. It is small and easy to carry around. It's easy to use. But what sold this particular model for me was the built in charger that allows me to use rechargable batteries without having to keep another set already charged. Most DBA radios are either mains only or require rechargables to be swapped out to charge. My only qubble is I wish it had more presets.

This was my very first DAB radio, and I have to say I was blown away. Most people had recommended a Pure Evoke, but there was something about the Roberts that appealed to me. Sure, theres a lot of plastic, but its actually very well made (as you'd expect from Roberts) and the sound quality is amazing. I purchased this for the cricket and its almost as if I'm sitting in Lords! For the money, this is an absolute bargain.

I bought this without seeing it, which was a bit of a risk - but it is just brilliant. It's really small so hardly takes up any room in my rather tiny kitchen, has amazingly good sound, AND it charges its own batteries while it's plugged into the mains. I like this feature as it means the batteries are always ready - I like having mine in the bathroom when I'm having a soak in the bath. It's also easy to use - which is good as I'm not very patient with new electronic objects!

Excellent sound for a small radio (smaller than I expected). V.good DAB reception in a building that often screens signals. Fully charged Ni-MH batteries (2500mAH) have now run for more than 15 hrs and going strong (I'd heard that battery life was a big issue with DAB radios). So-far very pleased with this purchase.

Present for boyfriend he actually uses
I've got the kit meister for a boyfriend, but he didn't have one of these and was really pleased with it. As an electronic engineer and past radio ham, an ideal gift for him.

With no radio to compare this to, we are happy enough with the radio. Compared to older analogue radios that I have had in the past, I do not think the sound is as good, but then... Read more

Yes. Very nice.
Quick delivery. One annoying thing is that the base is a bit mis-aligned so does not sit absolutely flat on a level base. Otherwise a great product. Read more
