Roberts Roberts Solar Dab Radio with Rechargeable Battery Pack Colour Red
DAB Radio with no wires! SolarDAB is the world's first solar powered DAB radio
This stylish and compact portable radio has a solar panel integrated into the top of the unit which absorbs direct sunlight in order to power the radio
There is a level indicator on the diplay screen that shows the power level generated by the solar panel
Under good conditions there is sufficient power generated to charge the batteries and power the radio
The built in rechargeable battery pack is charged whenever the solar panel receives direct sunlight
Once fully charged the low power consumption of solarDAB allows the batteries to power the radio for up to 27 hours without the need to recharge them
The radio can then be used away from sunlight or mains electricity until recharging becomes necessary
The batteries can be recharged either by sunlight or using the supplied mains adaptor if there is not sufficient light available
SolarDAB is ideal for use in gardens conservatories greenhouses on suitable windowsills or away from home while camping fishing at the beach or anywhere that you wish to listen to the radio away from conventional power sources
Stuff.tv Gadget of the Day: Juicing gadgets with a touch of solar power is something we’re big fans of here at Stuff Towers
Which is why we’re rather taken with this new Roberts solarDAB
With a neat solar panel on top and room for a set of rechargeable batteries Roberts claims you’ll get up to 27 hours of listening pleasure..
ITV.com Review (rated 4/5 stars): This does exactly what it says on the tin
It gives you access to loads of stations from talk to music and it runs on the power of the sunshine
In fact if it's fully juiced up you'll get up to 27 hours ...
I've been waiting for a DAB radio which is small and handy to move around the house (like the transistor radios of my childhood) and was going to buy a Pure One Mini when they finally hit the shops. But then I found this new Roberts radio. I'm so glad I found it before I'd bought the Pure radio.
Not only is the solar DAB an excellent radio for taking around the house, and outside too, it also can be powered by the sun (the clue's in the name). What could be better?
Add to that the exciting range of colours and the lovely, soft touch, rubberised controls which are very easy to use and I don't think there's a better little DAB radio on the market.
