About this product
The Roberts Play 11 is a portable DAB, DAB and FM RDS radio designed for moving around the house or taking with you. With 20 presets split between 10 DAB and 10 FM slots, you can store stations from Radio 2 to your local and switch between them without menus. The fabric covering gives it a quality feel above plain plastic, and it slips into a bag or sits neatly on a kitchen worktop. It runs on mains power via the included USB-C cable or 4 x AA batteries (not included), so you can unplug it and head to the garden or garage without losing your place in a programme.
The LCD display shows station names clearly with FM RDS, and manual and search tuning let you find stations your way. There's a sleep timer for bedtime listening, auto time update to keep the clock accurate, and a headphone socket for private listening. Auto tune and auto scan set up stations in seconds, and the straightforward menu gives quick access to main functions without an instruction booklet. It's compact, portable and delivers clear DAB reception. Includes a USB-C power cable and a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Small, portable radio
I needed a portable radio and feel that Roberts is a good make. The sound quality is good. I have struggled to set favourite stations and will read the instructions again!
Kit
Initially appears to be of good quality
Neat looking unit initially suggesting it is of a level of manufacturing quality - only time and usage will determine if that remains the case. DAB auto tuning was seamless and prompt. Manual FM tuning was a little more long winded, because t perhaps that is in part down to less FM channels nowadays š¤·š¼āāļø

Roberts Play 11 Radio
This is a delightful radio - purchased for my Mum's birthday. It is so easy and simple to set up and use, ideal small size and lightweight - exactly what we were looking for and the sound quality is excellent for such a small compact radio. My Mum is thrilled with it. Thank you Roberts - can definitely recommend this radio.

Basic Simple and of Reasonable Quality.
Expected and received a small portable radio of reasonable quality and sound given the price. Tuning was automatic and simple to use, the display and reception quite acceptable and the AA batteries were ordered separately.

Great little radio
I bought this a few weeks ago to replace an older, bigger radio. It's a great replacement, it's mainly used in the kitchen and very portable. It's easy to tune into various channels and the reception is good. The downsides are is could be louder (it's on max when the tap is on or something's on the hob) and the display is fairly basic. It does the job though

Nice radio - weak FM receiver
I bought this to listen to local radio stations. Unfortunately the FM receiver is quite weak so can only tune in to the major stations. DAB works well but again only main stations. A nice little radio but not what I needed. Also the cable is quite short so not easy to place far from sockets.

Hello Stevie,
Yes, the Roberts Play 11 DAB+/FM Portable Radio - Black can be powered by both batteries and mains electricity.
Thanks for using Q&A
This radio consumes up to 5 Watts of power, as per the manual. The USB input is shown as 5V 1A, which confirms this. Note that the question asker asked about mains power, but this unit is either powered by batteries or a USB DC power input, not the mains.
Hello there,
The supplier has advised for the Roberts Play 11 DAB+/FM Portable Radio - Black: In line with other audio manufacturers, Roberts do not publish power output figures such as the wattage.
A speaker wattage figure would be relevant only if information such as the efficiency and sensitivity are known.
The wattage indicated on the speaker inside any of our units solely states the maximum it is designed to receive and does not reflect an accurate output figure.

Hey Oldie,
I can advise that as this is a DAB+ radio, it should receive Boom Radio.
Thanks for using Q&A.
It says in the description that it is USB so you will need the appropriate plug which does not come supplied?
Hey Poppy,
I can advise that this radio is mains operated, so it comes with a UK plug.
