Colour Name:Blue
I have been looking for a something that does the lot - a dab, a docking station and something to play music from my iphone on that was more 'vintage roberts' than 'ghetto blaster'... my friend said I was being too fussy but perseverance is the key!!
I'm glad I held out as I finally found this cute little set up at a decent price. I ordered the item on Sunday and it was here by Monday - great! (and was delivered in the evening - after work. Even better) Unfortunately the first one had to go back and a replacement was ordered as the iphone connection was loose, awkward and it crackled when trying to use. But today, Wednesday (at about 8.15pm) the replacement was delivered and it works just fine.
The sound quality is also better than expected. The 'leather' surround is lovely, it's just a shame about the plasticy facia as it cheapens the look a little (well, it is plastic) If this was upgraded slightly using more expensive materials I would definitely purchase that too, as this is *so* close to being perfect, but just lacks a little 'finesse'
All in all I've very happy with this, but I fear it might not last too long.... But we'll see!

Says exactly what it does on the box - looks great and is really handy whilst you're in the kitchen
when you need somewhere to place your iPhone and browse through a receipe. Nice detail of the clock, it automatically
Sets itself and includes the seconds count down as well.
Handy carrying handle which is actually there to be used as well as making the radio look retro. All in all a great purchase - worth the money as I haven't seen anything similar that looks retro but up-to-date techno wise.

I had been looking for a Dab radio had a ipod dock aswell and also portable, this is the only one i found that did all 3. I looked at this one for a while and there wasnt many reviews written so i held off until last week...!! it arrived and its truely awsome!!! it looks great, the sound is very impressive and its easy to use.
As we live in a little village in Cornwall, far away form anything i was a little worried that we wouldnt be able to use the DAB radio to its full potential, but we can!!
I never normally write reviews, but i had to write one for this radio, because i am seriously impressed with it...!

Great retro DAB radio
Product arrived really quickly & has met all my expectations. It was really easy to set up (and I mean REALLY easy - just switch it on !) and my rather old ipod fitted perfectly. Read more

not what i expected
the radio does not come up to expectation. The batteries cost £4.50 for 4. These lasted for just a few hours. I would not have purchased it, if i would have known.

Disappointing DAB radio from AMAZON
Very poor quality cheap receiver inside an expensive box. User manual virtually non-existant, many features not describe fully. Storing stations just does not work. Read more

Great radio
Wanted a new DAB radio with ipod dock and found this. Think for the price on amazon it's great value, especially when other radios without a dock are twice the price. Read more

Do not buy. Such a shame
When I opened the box I found the ipod dock out and not sealed (ie packaging had come loose)... but hoped it would be ok. LOVED the look of the radio. LOVED the sound quality. Read more
