During our time with the Roberts Play digital radio, we found the device to be attractive, well-made and brimming with useful features. However, it definitely could do with a few extra capabilities, like the option to stream content straight from your smartphone. However, since you can do that with almost any other speaker system these days, you might not need streaming on your radio too.
