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.

Compact, stylish radio with impressive sound quality and good battery life. Easy to use with Bluetooth and DAB+ features. Some find controls fiddly and display small; reception can be patchy in some areas.

Compact, Portable and not restricted to WiFi/Data
I've not had a stand-alone radio for decades but with the cost of steaming services going up, up, up and not having WiFi at the bottom of the garden, i thought i'd give it another go with something not chained to a WiFi router or expensive mobile Data connection. The stations i've got into on my smart speaker are only on DAB+ and i checked on the web i could receive them where i am before buying, its easy to do and am delighted i'm able to get those and way more besides simply by setting the radio to scan, just like tuning in a TV. I was worried a Roberts was over the top for a first DAB but this little thing brings so much capability in such a small package - height and depth are about the width of the top of a standard pub pint glass (if you laid it on its side), and at only 12 cm wide its shorter than a small 15cm ruler, so really small and portable! The 20 hour usb rechargeable battery inside it is nothing short of mighty, charging while plugged in/running off mains, it makes it something you just grab and move around the house while doing stuff. Sound is loud enough with more to spare but won't blow the doors off, and is well balanced for all music types but there is no graphic equaliser to change it to your taste. Really nice clear vocals and voices - there is bass with a passive radiator in the back but as said its balanced so it shares the soundspace rather than dominates it - if you like it to be heavy forward you won't be able to make this do that, but for the size, build quality and battery really make up for not being able to tweak the profile. The only things that could improve it are bluetooth headphone comparability, but the 3.5mm jack means if i'm at my desk my wired 'phones are getting lots of use too, and an EQ would be nice so i can push some more power into the bass or lower the treble a touch to how i like it.

Great quality little radio
Great little radio, very good sound for it's small size. I like the way it is rechargeable, it lasts for many hours. Perfect for our static caravan

Lovely little radio
Have used this for a few weeks now everyday and think it's great. Very functional, good volume and signal and ofcourse stylish. One thing to note, I was pleasantly surprised about the size when I opened, knowing it was compact but it is really quite small which is a plus! Lovely colour too, would recommend.

Wee mini radio.
I got this a few weeks ago for the DAB stations , and once scanned it works great. Nice sound on it.

Beautiful Design and Epic Sound
I bought this as a gift for my wife as she's wanted one for a while and we both love it. It's just the right balance of retro and modern and the sound that comes from it is ridiculously good given the size of it. My wife uses it as a bedside clock radio but the added portability is really helpful. Tempted to get one for my bedside too!

Not for elderly at all
Do not buy for anyone with below average eyesight or the elderly. Bought for my Dad in hospital but found very hard to use. Very tricky to access preset channels and small buttons. Argos wouldn’t let me return it as it had been opened. An expensive mistake.

Great design looks better than it is
I bought this lovely little radio a few weeks ago. I did read the reviews which said it was intermittent,Which it is. The radio has a limited amount of stations it can pick up the signal for. It's a lovely colour and design. Really small and compact. I have to be honest and say I am a bit disappointed with the connectivity.

Poor Sound Quality
Bought this and took it straight back. Terrible sound quality - crackles only at half of maximum volume. I was expecting better from Roberts!
