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 good sound quality, clear display, and useful dual alarms. Auto-dimming is appreciated but often too dim or too bright. Setup is generally straightforward, though some find instructions unclear.

It's a clock radio, and it works
It's a clock radio; bought to replace one that I had for over 30 years. Whether this one will last as well . . .? Hence the four stars. Maybe I'll add star in around 20 years. I haven't yet really tried properly to set up the radio. If It's anything like my old one, I doubt whether the quality will be much to shout home about; but you never know. I also haven't yet really tried it out as an alarm. I havbe no reason to supose that it won't work. Certainly the setup seems simple enough.

Works for me
Easy to set up and straightforward to operate, especially sleep mode. A previous purchase required the pressing of 14 buttons to set sleep mode. The auto-dimming function is a welcome addition. Very pleased with my purchase.

Good buy
This is a great little clock radio. Easy to set up. Sound quality is great. The only drawback is the dimming feature. It is so dim I have to put on my glasses to read it in the night.

Compact and reliable so far!
Replaced our Roberts ancient radio alarm clock with this new model. It’s been great so far- compact design and great tone … and reliable. Only drawback is it’s hard to read at night as the numbers are dimmed but by day are bold and clear.

Excellent product .
I bought this radio recently and was pleased that it was easy to set up especially setting the five presets.The clock face is easy to see and very clear.

A Very good buy for the price
For the price a feature loaded Roberts Quality Clock Radio. The setting up is easy but when setting the Radio alarm check you are on am time if using the 12 hour display option. The auto display dimmer (on the top panel) works well leaving just enough background light for night vision. For the size of the speaker the sound quality is good, and you have 1 Watt (RMS) of power on tap!! The 5 pre sets for radio stations are a useful feature as is the backup battery for power cuts, or just needing to move the radio. I went for a FM radio as in its location DAB reception is poor.

I would have liked the clock light to be adjustable as it is hard to see in the dark
