Portable Roberts radio great for Christmas gifting


Debenhams shoppers are snapping up a portable Roberts radio with ‘great sound’ ahead of Christmas. The small but mighty gadget is ideal for gifting to somebody who’s always on the go and likes to take their favourite radio shows with them.  

The Roberts PLAY20 Digital Radio currently has a 6% discount, bringing the price down from £79.99 to £74.99. This is one of the cheapest prices around, with the radio costing the full £79.99 when bought directly from Roberts.

It plays both DAB+ and FM radio and allows you to save up to 20 station presets, so you can switch between your favourite stations with ease. The lightweight design and rubber bumper protection makes the radio well suited to listening on the move, whether you want to carry it around the house, enjoy it in the garden, or take it with you to work or on holiday. 

Roberts’ PLAY20 radio has a full colour display for ‘simple and clear navigation’. It also has a built-in battery charger, headphone socket and a handy lock switch. 

The radio has earned an overall rating of 4.6 out of five from 290 Debenhams shoppers to date. One delighted buyer awarded it full marks and said: “Was looking for a neat, compact all-in-one system and came across this one – so glad I did as it ticks all the boxes. Simple set-up, nice sound and easy to use.”

A second satisfied customer commented: “Very speedy delivery and well packed. The radio is good, it is neat and has a good sound for its size. Great to be able to use batteries that the radio recharges. I already have a previous version of this radio. Would recommend it to others.”

“A great little piece of kit,” wrote another impressed shopper. “This radio exceeded our expectations. We wanted something that wouldn’t shine a light all the time as I use it at night. It’s very compact and easy to use (I can find the buttons I need in the dark), and I like that I can charge it up and use it without an electric lead.”

Unfortunately one person wasn’t completely satisfied with the Roberts radio, as they noted: “Quality of sound through headphones is poor and crackly, even having tried several different sets of headphones.”

You can buy the Roberts PLAY20 Digital Radio from Debenhams here for £74.99. If there’s a workman or workwoman in your life, the retailer is also offering the JBL Clip 4 Ultra-portable IPX7 Waterproof Speaker on sale for £42.95 that conveniently clips onto a workbelt, loop or buckle. 

Elsewhere, Amazon is selling the Spitalfields 2 Retro Digital Portable Radio priced at £44.95. Very has the VQ Dexter DAB Radio costing £44.99.
