Groov-e Lisbon Portable DAB & FM Digital Radio - Portable Radio with Bluetooth Connectivity, LCD Display, Built-In Alarm Clock & Headphone Jack - USB or Battery Operated

Purchased for granddaughter. It’s really small and easy to use.

I wanted an alarm clock so I could keep my mobile out if the bedroom, it's awesome, just the right size, easy to use and looks great also. It has a great radio, two alarms

This quality radio alarm clock has two forward facing speakers, one either side of the display and a base port at the rear producing smooth, clear, true stereo sound. Better than I expected from a clock radio!The operating manual could be better and many of the buttons are dual function, which I found confusing. Although remembering which button does what and how many times to press each certainly tests my memory, learning to operate it fully is well worth the effort as it has a depth of useful features. For example, the display, which dims right down, can be set to turn off completely after an adjustable time-out period from 10 seconds upwards. Pressing any button will then light up the display for the selected period, which is great if you don’t want to be reminded of the time during the night!Just a few points worth mentioning: The sudden step up in volume from increment 6 to 7 on the scale is disproportionate, a level in between would be just right for me.Also, I can’t read the small display when laid in bed without my glasses, no problem though if you have good eyesight. Just to mention, there is a removable film protecting the screen, which peels off.Finally, a wire aerial would work just as well as the telescopic type and in my view is much better, as it would hang discretely down the back of the bedside cabinet. In fact, I fitted such an aerial quite easily by attaching 50 cm of thin wire with a couple of small cable ties, holding the bare copper braid in contact with the telescopic aerial. Doing this is perfectly safe, it works well and is a much neater option as the telescopic aerial remains distended and clipped in its horizontal position (see photo).Despite these minor points this is a great radio alarm clock with a solid feel, I am well pleased and have no hesitation in recommending it.

I bought this as an alarm clock, not really fussed about the radio part, I needed a loud buzzer type alarm after my last one broke. Haven't tried the radio stations so can't comment on that. Instructions were easy to follow. Feels very light and cheap (well you get what you pay for). The annoying thing is once you've switched the alarm off in the morning you need to remember to set it again every night. It'll do for now but will look for better options.

I'm normally a "buy the big brand" type of person, and needless to say, I've had Pure and Roberts DAB clock and regular radios.Nothing fit the bill this time as I had specific requirements that were met with this unit, see below:1. It needed to go dark on the display, the fact that it has 5 different brightness levels one might think that it's too many, but no. it just helps to find the right one, after all, once you've got what you want, you're unlikely to change it aren't you?They may seem bright, but I use a flagship Samsung phone to take pictures and it makes the dark look like daylight. If you look at the last one on my partner's nightstand, you'll see it approximately twice as bright in the photo than it normally is.In fact on lowest setting it's hardly visible at all in daylight.I needed plenty of brightness levels as my partner sleeps with the curtains, with blackout material, shut all the time, so brightness, or darkness, was an issue.2. It needed to be shut off immediately and easily when the alarm goes off-not a snooze situation, just OFF.This is achieved by pressing the middle button on the front on the top of the unit.It can be "snoozed" if you want, but our requirement was to be able to turn off the alarm without it coming on again and risking waking my partner up again.This may seem like an easy thing to do, but after extensive research I've found that there is no documentation referring to this, they all say they can be snoozed but this one I know for a fact can have the alarm stopped with just one press.Now that in itself is made easier by the fact that the "off" button is conveniently located in the middle of the three buttons on the top of the unit, at the front.This means that it can be found in the dark without having to turn the light on.I've seen plenty others where the "off" button is located amongst others at the back.Besides, they don't document that the action of switching off the alarm definitevely with one button press-I can assert that this is the case here.3. DAB reception, excellent. Some of the clock radios have such patchy reception on DAB that I've had to resort to using FMAllied to this, is the sound quality, my partner likes listening to the radio whilst doing cleaning etc upstairs, and this is very good in that respect, achieving a decent volume without distortion.4. There are two alarms, so one can be set for weekends, one for weekdays and are easy to switch between the two so I'm not having to reprogramme a single one depending on day in the week.5. The ability to charge something like a phone from the clock radio itself-great idea for those that keep their mobile on the nightstand like we do.6. Lastly, a minor point, but one that I'm happy about. It's that it uses a standardised round pin power supply that should the original one fail, are easy to replace here on Amazon for example.Some of the clock radios have the power cable wired directly into the unit itself, so once the power supply goes wrong inside the unit, it's bin time.All in all, I'm surprised as to how good it is.

Excellent dab clock radio but.... you really do need to follow the instructions!! I'm not a thicko but even I had to follow them!Once it's up & running though, fantastic. does exactly what it should & very good value for the money not too cheap & not too expensive, (the goldilocks syndrome). Buy one & see for yourself.

The media could not be loaded. Everything was good until it just stopped working after 5 weeks. What a waste of money and effort.

Nice compact Digital/FM radio purchased as a 'bathroom' radio therefore running on batteries not mains power. Easy to set up and reasonable sound quality. As all radios it's a bit heavy on battery usage if used on DAB permanently but on FM it's fine. 5 stars but for battery usage on DAB - in all a good little radio.

Great item considering the price

Leider habe ich in der Beschreibung keinen Hinweis darauf gefunden, dass der Stecker in Deutschland nicht passt.Zum Glück habe ich das Gerät ausgepackt, bevor ich es verschenkt habe. So konnte ich noch einen passenden Stecker selbst dazu besorgen.
