About this product
The Roberts Ortus FM Clock Radio makes waking up a more pleasant affair by letting you rise to your favourite FM station instead of a jarring alarm tone. With 5 preset buttons, you can store everything from Radio 2 to your local breakfast show and switch between them instantly. The dual alarm is perfect if you and your partner need different wake-up times, and both alarms can rouse you with radio or a traditional tone. Hit the snooze function when you need those extra few minutes in bed, we've all needed that at some point.
The large LED display dims automatically at night so it won't disturb your sleep but stays readable when you glance at it. There's a headphone socket for personal listening if you fancy catching up on the news without waking anyone. It runs on mains power with a CR2032 battery backup (1 required, not included) to retain your alarm settings if the power cuts out. The simple on-device buttons mean no fiddly menus. Setting alarms or tuning stations is genuinely straightforward. Compact enough to sit neatly on any bedside table without hogging space. Comes with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Customers Say
Compact, easy-to-use clock radio with clear display, good sound quality, and useful features like dual alarms and auto-dimming. Some users find the night display too dim or too bright, and setting alarms can be fiddly.

It does the job
This alarm/radio is easy to use and not to difficult to set up but could be a bit brighter at night.

Neat little clock radio
Recently bought this Roberts clock radio as my old Roberts one decided that it didn't want to keep to the correct time or operate as a radio anymore. Hoping to get the exact same model, I was a bit dismayed that it was no longer available on Argos so I chose this new Ortus one instead. It is certainly more compact than my old one with a more crisp and clearer display and an excellent dimmer function when I go to bed and I've noticed that the sound is better than my old one. My only criticisms are that the power cable could be a bit longer for my liking, and that setting up the sleep function is a bit more fiddly than previously, but other than that, really pleased with it so far

Easy to set up and use.

It's good and speedy delivery from here
After 30 years my old clock radio's sound was going. I was devastated! I chose this replacement because of the good reviews everywhere (and no postage to pay, from here, when I ordered). Reviews said it was easy to work but I'll be honest, I didn't find this initially but maybe because is very different to my old faithful, radio alarm. A couple of days later and we up and running (well, after a few minutes of snooze time!) There are options for different days and times for alarm. A bell lights up to indicate alarm is set too. It's not too bright (for me) at night my old one was red lighting and probably brighter. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase.

Overcame an interference problem.
Bought to upgrade from a cheap unit, primarily to overcome a local interference problem. Which the better quality achieved. Although the tone is very much better if anything the bass has been overdone. Still very much better than the tinny sound of the cheaper unit. Alarm does what I wanted.

Poor overnight reduced brightness display
I bought this clock about a month ago, daylight displays are very clear but the reduced brightness for overnight display is too low for clear reading. I understand the reduced display brightness but it is too low for myself

Excellent Alarm Clock/Radio
Excellent alarm clock and radio. Very good reception regards radio fm. Alarm buzzer is not too intrusive but increases volume before you cancel. One piece of advice. Alarm stop is also on/off switch for radio. This is not made clear in the instruction leaflet. Would certainly recommend this product.
