About this product
The Roberts Revival Petite 2 is a palm-sized DAB and FM radio that fits in a coat pocket and keeps your listening options open whether you're travelling, in the garden, or pottering about the house. With 20 hours of battery life from the rechargeable lithium-ion pack, it will see you through a long weekend away or a full week of morning commutes without a top-up. The 20 preset stations let you store everything from Radio 4 to your local station and switch between them instantly, while Bluetooth lets you stream podcasts or playlists from your mobile when you want something different.
The alarm and sleep timer functions make it a handy bedside radio if you want to wake to your favourite station or drift off to a late-night show. RDS scrolling text keeps you informed of what's playing, and the headphone socket means you can listen without disturbing anyone. At 12.4 x 8.5 x 7.3cm, it sits neatly on a bedside table or slips into a bag without taking up much room. Auto tune and auto scan find stations quickly, while auto time update means you never have to fiddle with the clock. Comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Issues With Radio Alarm
I've owned 2 of these radios and both have had exactly the same issue unfortunately. When the alarm is set to play the radio the signal will cut in and out (very annoying) before switching to a regular beeping alarm. When the beeping alarm is snoozed the radio will eventually turn itself back on after about 5-10 minutes and then works perfectly, without any further signal issues. It happens a few mornings each week. There are never any issues with the signal when used exclusively as a radio, so this seems to be an issue with the alarm setting. The device is positioned adjacent to a window with nothing blocking the sky, no nearby tall buildings or communication towers to interfere, and we live in a city so have plenty of signal (no issues with my other digital radio in an adjacent room).

Loved the design but the portability not so much
I really loved this little radio. The design was perfect and the size too. However, it was described as portable and a clock radio, so I made the assumption that being portable it could be unplugged and still show the time. Unfortunately this isn't the case. The time is only displayed if it's either plugged in, or turned on. I wanted to use it where there isn't a plug but the ability to frequently charge. As such, unfortunately, I had to return it.

Surprising quality.
Surprising quality and volume from the small radio. Rechargeable battery has lasted a week and was much appreciated during a recent power cut during the storms.

Excellent stylish product ! Xxx
Pure quality and sound. A wonderful gift for my 14 year old son, and he loves his radio . Also, me and my husband have had the white version for a year or so, and my daughter has the cream one too. We are all big Roberts fans and can confirm that I love waking up to the gentle gradual sound, so pleasant, thank you xxx

Looks and works great
The radio looks great and works well. Has lots of digital stations which you can simply scroll through to find the one you want. The sound is great too.

Revival Petite 2
Such a good little wireless set! I’m delighted with the sound quality, excellent build, and intuitive features.

Great rechargeable radio
Bought for camping and on our narrow boat, due to its small size and being rechargeable. Fantasic sounds for a small radio and battery lasts well.

Took a gamble
Did not have high hopes that this would cope with my west coast of Scotland, poor reception area (mobile phone reception requires ‘Wi-Fi calling”; the DAB reception check said zero). But, great quality sound, DAB tuning is fine (in the right spot) and just perfect for my purposes. Plus really cute, and minimalist. I took a gamble on reception, and it paid off. Excellent sound, quality, and fit for purpose. Bought for power cut eventualities so, note that it is internal lithium-ion battery, not disposables. So treat it like your phone or device, charge up regularly.
