There have been terrible problems with the sound. The volume swings high and low, and randomly cuts out, and as with Mr Donaghey I have been told that I can return it and pay £67 for the Radio to be repaired. No apologies, and when I asked they said they have not had problems with this model. I bought a friend a 'cheap & cheerful' DAB for about £40, and everything about it (bar looks) is much better than the Roberts. Which is sad . . . I feel that Roberts trade on the stylish looks of the products, and their past reputation, but the build & radio quality are not good enough for the price.
