Pure Siesta Charge Bluetooth DAB+/DAB/FM Digital Radio Alarm Clock - Bedside DAB Radio with Qi Wireless Charging Pad for Smartphones and CrystalVue LCD Display with Auto-Brightness - Polar

Product Information

Brand: Established brands such as Pure and Roberts tend to be more reliable, but also more expensive. If you don’t mind trying a less well-known brand, there are some good radios from budget brands such as Majority and AZATOM that offer great value for money. The alarm stays on for 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes, so you can choose a time duration to suit your morning routine. A single speaker is included on the underside of the Roberts Ortus DAB Charge. Due to the wireless charging pad and the design of the radio this is the only surface where the speaker can be placed. Saving and recalling the 10 FM and 10 DAB presets is easy with the preset and tuning up and down buttons. There aren’t any dedicated preset buttons. The buttons on the top of the radio control the tuning, volume and other functions. In the centre of the controls is the OK / Snooze button. The other 12 buttons are laid out in two rows of three on each side. It’s easy to get used to the power button being in the top left and the volume being the two buttons furthest to the right. But at night it’s difficult to find the tuning buttons and switching to a different preset could be quite difficult without switching a light on. Suitable smartphones can be placed on the wireless charging pad

Wake up with classic buzzer or your favorite radio station, start your day fresh with a good mood ! Press SNOOZE button and you will enjoy 9-minutes extra sleep.The SNOOZE button is designed BIG for easy searching without opening your eyes.

When you hit the snooze button you can choose to pause the alarm for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 minutes, or switch it off altogether. Out of the products we’ve reviewed here, four have Bluetooth: The AZATOM Horizon, the John Lewis & Partners Aria, the Roberts Revival iStream 3 and the Majority Fulbourn II. You can choose to set an alarm to sound for just one day, seven days of the week, just on weekdays or just on weekends. The Roxel Nod is an all in one bedside hub with large display: Roxel Nod features a dual display. The LED display shows the time, while the LCD display shows the station, volume and date, this way you can have all the information you need right at your fingertips. Roxel Nod’s clear, large digit easy to read display is fully adjustable with 3 levels of brightness so you can always be sure to see the time. You can stream your music via BT, wake up to your favourite station or simply use it for charging your phone.

This radio is a great size for a bedside table, and the time is shown in large digits. It doesn’t have any advanced features such as Bluetooth or USB ports for charging devices, but it’s a good basic DAB radio for the bedroom.

The display shows the time or 8 characters of a station name in the DAB digital radio mode. The station name is shown when RDS is available in the FM mode. After a few seconds of displaying the station name in either radio mode the display will revert to showing the time. The user guide is a single sheet of paper as is more often the case with DAB radios now. While not the normal type of manual we are used to with older Roberts radios the instructions are easy enough to follow. The text is clear and the included diagrams are useful. This is especially helpful for setting alarms.
