Nice radio and good sound.I thought it would charge when the it was turned off,but it didn't. I was going to return it but as an afterthought I checked in the battery compartment and noticed the battery had a plastic tab to be removed,it don't mention that in the description. Charging fine now.

Lovely item

Good radio. Excellent sound quality and reception. Built well for what you pay so good value. Recommended.....

Even before the cost of living crisis and the run away charges for electricity, I was moving towards being as carbon neutral as possible. Using a radio during the day for the news (powered by solar) meant less use of the TV. But with my old Pure Radio, I needed a 12v output, requiring fairly bulky set up of battery, solar controller and panel.So I was looking for something simpler, that could follow me around the house. At this price (£19.99) I was expecting a cheap looking device with poor, but hopefully adequate sound for Radio 4 and other spoken word stations. But on opening I was pleasantly surprised, it looked like a traditional radio and not obviously cheap.After turning it on and easily finding Radio 4, I was quite impressed by the sound quality. The relatively large speaker delivers a full sound, much like the sound from the far more expensive DAB pure radio.It can be easily charged by a 5v USB solar panel, and the charge maintained (or at least extended) by placing next to a window. So in effect, is free to use. Also freeing up the larger 12v solar charging unit, I can now easily keep my laptops charged up by solar power.I haven't as yet used the Bluetooth, or usb or SD card music playing system as I have other larger Bluetooth speakers more suited to music. However, if travelling light, I imagine these functions will prove useful. I certainly expect to use the SD card for audio books.I've only had the device for one day, so I cannot comment on durability, but I am optimistic that if treated carefully, it will last.

This is an amazing little radio more functions than I realised sound quality and looks great the light and solar charging extra bonus plus Bluetooth so much that a few friends have ordered . I might get a second as very portable to

Very good purchase

Nice looking and good sound but there was no DC cord. I used the USB cord connected to a plug to DC but the battery is dead and the radio won't turn on. Missed return window by a day. Not happy at all.

Nice radio with good features.However, plugged the supplied usb-c lead into the charging socket. Nothing. Wiggle it around and sometimes the charge led would come on. Then move it and the charge led would go off. Repeat again, again and again.So sent the item back someday for a refund
