Roberts R9993 Portable 3-Band LW/MW/FM Battery Radio with Headphone Socket - White

I really wasn’t sure what sort of quality this radio would be , but I am very pleased with it. It is a basic radio with tuning controlled by a knob which is lovely and simple. With batteries you can have it wherever you want, although I understand there is a plug in lead for an extra tenner. Sound is good enough for basic radio listening. It has an extendable aerial so reception should not be a problem. Although it is not expensive it doesn’t come across as a cheap radio. A good functional radio which does what it should.

A great radio. This was a gift for my elderly mother. Unfortunately, this radio is being supplied with the incorrect batteries. The radio works with AA batteries - i was supplied with AAA batteries and its advertised with AAA batteries. This is incorrect - so do not do the deal with batteries. These AAA were £10 and no use with the radio at all. This should be supplied with AA batteries. So it's not a good deal at all. I am very disappointed as I can no longer contact anybody for queries and I have lost out on £10.

Initially it was a very good radio. Small in size, the perfect portable radio for my home. BUT the radio stopped working after just 3 months. It will not tune into a station. It just crackles, buzzes and emits a high frequency noise. It has not been abused or dropped. Too late to send it back.Bought this as it was a good price. As an OAP on a pension I cannot afford to replace it.Amazon Marketplace has become somewhere to dump faulty products and foolish people like me fall for the hype and cheap prices. ...... Never again!

Bought this for my allotment. Great sound for such a small radio. Perfect for the price so would recommend

Easy to take out with you , compact great sounding radio.

I've always bought Roberts radio's but after many years my last one finally stopped working, so I looked on line to find another one, and found this one, such a great little radio, and a great price, very happy with it and do highly recommend it.

Needed a radio to pick up LW and FM for when my EE internet is not functioning,a common occurrence of late.Opted for this Roberts ,mainly going by the reputation of the name,had it a few days now,at best it is okay.Sound quality " tinny" ,not a patch on my "Alexa" ,and no means of positive fine tuning to get rid of background " hiss".It is light and easy to move about,looks good but has a very " cheap plasticy feeling".Okay value for the money ,just.To much bother to return it so it is now in daily use .Brand name reputation is watered down by this particular product.

I bought my Mum the DAB version, but she just couldn't use it.Accessing the pre-sets was just too difficult for her. Ordered this one instead and she loves it.She listens to the radio at night and just wants to be able to turn the dial until she finds something she likes. It's battery powered so no need to find the right USB lead or power charger, just put 4 AA batteries in it and you're good to go.Battery life is brilliant, gets a few hours of use each night, yet it's still on it's first set of batteries since purchase 4 weeks ago.
