Manufacturer's Description
The Ecologic 1 is a member of the Roberts brand new Ecologic range, developing and enhancing our products to become more environmentally friendly. This tiny gadget is only slightly bigger than some personal radios on the market.

The Ecologic 1 has a built-in battery charger, enabling you to recycle rather than having to purchase new batteries at the end of their life. Its improved power consumption also ensures the batteries will work for longer.

The Ecologic 1 is simple to use, when you first switch it on it will automatically tune in all the radio stations available. You can then go through and store your favourites on the 10 station presets. The Ecologic 1 is a very easy to use portable radio, perfect for outdoor listening with its built-in battery charger, alternatively it can be powered from the mains.

Customer Reviews

Ecologic 1
I needed a small DAB radio with good reception and output and this is just what I've got. It provides excellent coverage with virtually no aerial extension where we live in Somerset and has performed equally well on a caravan site in south Devon. Simple to use and does most of the hard work for you. I like the idea of using rechargeable batteries and having them recharged, in situ, by just using the mains transformer from time to time. What would I have liked - an alarm function, but I knew it didn't have it, so this is just me being greedy. For anyone lookling for a small, portable DAB radio with great performance, look no further.Roberts Ecologic 1 DAB/FM RDS Radio with built-in AA charger

Extremely pleased
I was extremely pleased with this as a Christmas gift to replace the long-serving FM/LW radio in my kitchen. The reception had never been brill and microwave and other electric items in the kitchen rendered it inaudible. This Roberts is light years ahead of the old one. The sound is great; it is simple to operate; it is mains and rechargeable-battery operated and still has the option of FM Band. FM is still useful as I can used it to pick up local stations which digital cannot get (I want Radio Stoke from 45 miles away!)
This radio is priced less that my first DAB radio, 50 quid as opposed to 80 quid. It has extra features and 6 presets for each band giving 12 in total - ample for me.

Great little radio
I bought this radio on the strength of the Roberts name and the three reviews on this page. I was not disappointed. It's a cracking radio,solidly built with a great sound. Its easy to use,and has two possible power sources.You can use the mains adaptor or batteries,either rechargable(the radio will recharge them when not in use)or the ordinary alkaline.You just have to move a small switch to tell the radio which type of battery you are using. It tunes into all DAB stations when you first switch it on and its a simple job to store up to six channels, and also with the FM band.
Excellent radio.
