lovely sound and easy to set up
I bought this from the graded products option. It was in perfect condition and fully boxed. Set up was quick and easy and wifi connects to a number of internet music stations I listen to on my Ruark R610. I like the design and the screen is clear and easy to read. It has a lovely natural sound and great range of options for different radio sources. I use it as a bedside device and the clock is clear at night but to bright. I love it.

Very polished and premium radio
I bought this radio recently after reading excellent reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. It looks and sound premium and is very easy to operate. I use mine as a bedroom radio and love to listen to my favourite American and Australian stations. I can also play my favourite smooth relaxing music from my phone through Bluetooth and dose off to sleep listening to it. It has an excellent sleep timer and easy to operate alarm and I am delighted with it. It is a little pricey but you get what you pay for and I would recommend it.

You will forget the price
Am getting on a bit and need subtitles_ a friend recomended the Ruark R1S - At first, it seemed costly but you will forget the price as soon as you listen - the sound quality is superb - The build quality and features are also excellent but expected at this price range. Within a week bought a second for the kitchen

Highly recommend
I bought this about a month ago and am very happy with it. Great sound and easy to set up all your favourite stations and Bluetooth to my phone too. Worth the money.

Happy Days!
I wanted a new clock/radio. I tried 5 but they were abominable. I like to listen to BBC local radio which is not available on DAB and Internet radio was out because my bedroom is upstairs and my router is downstairs. So I needed a good FM receiver. I thought that a proper radio would do the trick so I got the R1S. Set up was very easy, real buttons leading to logical menus, how very quaint. In my bedroom the FM reception was very good, but, what's this, I can get Internet radio without a Wifi extender, must be another great Ruark component. So every morning I am awakened by a crisp display and glorious music making the start of every day feel really happy.

The best small radio I've ever heard
I replaced a Pure Evoke DAB radio with the R1S and the difference between the two is night and day. The sound that comes out of this small speaker is incredible and it's making every radio station sound so much better. DAB sounds fantastic and the ability to add online radio station presets is also very welcome.
