What is it: Plain but effective bedside digital radio
What we think: For low-key listening while wrapped in a duvet's warmth, this is perfect

We like:
Simple interface; relatively unobtrusive -- if uninspiring -- design
We don't like:
Classic FM preset button -- it's a shameless plug and we hope Roberts is subsidising the price of the radio on account of it
You might also need:
Headphones for listening in private
CNET UK judgement:
It doesn't get more prosaic than this, but for bedside radio listening the Gemini 19 is a solid performer. Lacklustre styling lets this DAB down, but if you've no interest in style and just want a slumber-stopper for the morning, the Gemini is as effective as any bedside radio
