"Not that good, really"

What I like:

Looks OK but that's about it.

What I don't like:

Bad display, mains only, poor reception

Review:

Buying the Radiostation was this year's mistake. I was mainly interested in the wi-fi feature and it’s been a major disappointment. Perhaps the next generation might be worthwhile.

A small radio that has to be plugged into the mains? When you do plug it in you have to set the time all over again (if you ever planned on using it as an alarm) and then you wait and wait for something to listen to?? I should have read the specs more carefully!

Any old second hand portable PC would have been MUCH better. The display is user-hostile, the wi-fi range is pathetic, it's SO slow in locking onto any station and then it drops them as fast as it can.

If you have more than one small room to live in then this item is not for you.

I've gone back to using my trusty wi-fi speaker (half the price!) that picks up from a small transmitter plugged into the PC speaker socket. It has twice the range, much better tone, uses rechargeable batteries and it gives max versatility.
