Roberts has been around since 1932 and makes many of the radios featured on this list. This top-of-the-line model lets you listen to DAB as well as use the wifi to get internet radio and play music from other devices. It's stylish and great value for money. The sound is also clear and detailed, and we like that it comes with a remote control too, making it easy to play, pause and skip tracks.

This Pure model is another one that makes for an ideal bedside radio. Where this one works best is for its alarms. You can set four alarms (either to a DAB station or a tone) and have different times for weekdays and weekends. That's ideal if you like a lie-in (who doesn't). It has a large bright screen, so it's simple to see the time, date or station you're listening to, and it can also double up as a Bluetooth speaker too.

The most compact and affordable model in the retro-inspired Roberts Revival range, this one's even tinier than the Revival Mini. It fits in the palm of your hand, making it an ideal portable option, especially as it has a built-in rechargeable battery. This neat radio sounds excellent, but can't get as loud as other Roberts models, which is unsurprising given its size. It lacks alarms but can store a lot of presets, and we like that it doubles up as a Bluetooth speaker.

We love the refreshed Pure Evoke lineup, which all now feature a discreet flip-up screen for when you want to see a bit more information about the radio station you're playing. Positioned as an \"all-in-one\" music system, the Evoke Spot also comes with built-in internet radio and Spotify Connect, making it ideal for streaming music over wifi. Want more power and versatility We also recommend the larger Pure Evoke Home, which delivers a big 100W of power and adds a CD player (along with a much higher price) and the portable version, the Evoke Play, compatible with an optional battery available from Pure directly.

This little radio does all the basics well, at a low cost. We like how it's super compact and lightweight, yet still doubles up as a Bluetooth speaker and has enough room for 40 preset radio stations. We found it quick to set up, and like that it's powered via USB or four AA batteries, making it a convenient option to sit on the kitchen countertop, keep in the car, or use out in the garden. The sound quality is decent for news broadcasts and talk radio, but we were a bit disappointed with the distorted audio for music at higher volumes. If that's a priority, we'd consider other options.

This DAB radio can simulate sunrise to wake you up in a gentle way. You can choose one of the 31 sleep/wake sounds or set it to your preferred radio station to go with its gradual brightening light. We like that it'll fade any audio input as you drift off, and how you can set different alarm times for weekdays and weekends. It works as a Bluetooth speaker too and also has a USB port to charge your phone overnight.

We love how this Pure model doubles up as a smartphone charger. If your handset supports Qi-certified wireless charging, you can just place it on top of the radio to refuel your device. The sound quality is clear and detailed, but it lacks some punch in the bass. We love how simple it is to use and that the large screen is easy to read. The aerial is wired, though, which means the signal was sometimes a little weak.

In our tests, we found that the WR-11SE tended to flicker on FM channels, and we had a harder time locking on to a channel compared with the experience on some of the other radios we tested, even with the green LED signaling when the radio had found one. We were testing a refurbished unit, though, so this could just be an issue for the particular device we tested.

The SB2000 is more portable than some of our other picks. It has a handle at the top and a small telescoping antenna attached, and you can use either battery power or the built-in power cord, which tucks into the battery case. We especially like the variety of bright colors that Studebaker offers: The SB2000 comes in black, teal, and red, and the similar SB2002 comes in the same colors plus pink, so either radio is a fun choice for kids or for anyone who loves color.

When we originally conducted research for this guide in 2017, we surveyed potential tabletop radio buyers from around the country and asked why they wanted one and which features were most important. We also asked current owners about how they used their radios and what sorts of features they would look for, should their current radio meet an untimely end. By a large margin, most people surveyed reported a desire for a simple radio that they could tune to their favorite local public radio station and then leave set there in perpetuity. We expect that this core desire has remained unchanged.

With those parameters in mind, we sifted through product pages and retail listings, eliminating any radio that was too pricey, missing features, or saddled with terrible customer reviews. We also looked for a range of different style options, since we found that design is a big factor in shopping for a tabletop radio.

Once we narrowed down the list and brought in a group of radios for testing, we put each model through extensive sound and tuning testing, and we compared their style, features, and ergonomics. We tracked how many and which channels each radio received, how clear the reception was, and whether each radio had any stability issues in holding the tuned channels. We also compared sound quality, listening to see what qualities of a song were lost through various radio speakers. For any radio with Bluetooth abilities, we tested both the sound quality and the range of the Bluetooth signal.

Crosley Solo: This model was our previous budget pick, but we decided to dismiss it this time around due to its inconsistent pricing. It often retails for close to $100. It could still be of interest to you if you need an upward-facing speaker, which is a feature unique to this radio.

We skipped popular tabletop radios like the Bose Wave Music System IV due to their price. We also held off on testing boombox-style radios like the Sony CFD-S70, focusing on more minimalist tabletop designs. We may reconsider testing boombox radios for future updates.

The Ruark Audio R1 might be the most stylish DAB radio of them all. There are hints of retro style without firmly planting a flag in the 1950s, and the latest generation has Bluetooth for greater flexibility.

Unlike some other Roberts models, it has a multi-speaker setup. Two on the front for the high stuff. A bigger one on the back for the bassy stuff. This trio makes the Stream 94L great for music, and for playing the radio super-loud. Sure, it can be polite too.

Just 18cm long and under 6cm thick, this is the kind of radio you could take on holiday or shove in a bag for casual travel use. If you want a small radio for mostly at-home use, also consider the Revival Petite. It has a passive radiator for better bass.

The Roberts Revival has to be the longest-standing design in radios, and one of the longest in tech in general. Roberts has made these things since 1956, and the look is apparently inspired by a handbag of the wife of company founder Harry Roberts.

You might know John Lewis makes washing machines and other big appliances. But did you know it makes DAB radios too Has done for years and years. Radios like the Anyway Spectrum Solo are here to save you from buying the random budget dreck you might stumble upon online.

At a time when audio equipment is geared towards the future, you might think that the humble tabletop radio is extinct. Not even close. It's just evolved, and gotten a lot smarter over time. Radios now bear little resemblance to the dinky little clock radios from the past twenty years. As a bonus, they're not all that expensive - not compared to other examples of audio equipment, which can cost thousands of dollars. Even the most expensive tabletop radio costs considerably less than most other speaker categories. For more background, see our tabletop radio comparison table and buying advice below the picks.

It is far from the best sounding radio here, however. In our opinion, the sound is passable, but can be a little harsh at times, especially when listening to AM/FM. For a better audio option, try the Grace Digital Mondo Elite Classic, below. Worth noting: Tivoli Audio make several variations of this radio, including a version with a clock, the Model Three, and a Wi-Fi-enabled version called the Model One Digital, both $300. We think the Model One BT is the best radio they make.See the Tivoli Audio Model One BT

The Grace Digital Mondo Elite Classic offers everything you could possibly want in a radio. Whether you listen to an Internet station, or an AM or FM broadcast, you'll be up and running in seconds. The Mondo Elite Classic delivers excellent sound quality, too, thanks to a well-made 25-watt amplifier. It's not the loudest radio around, but for sheer quality and versatility, nothing can beat it. It even includes a Qi wireless charging pad, meaning you can drop your phone on top to charge. That's something not even more expensive radios, like the Bose Wave SoundTouch Music System IV, below, can boast. We love the design, too. The old Mondo Elite was an industrial hunk of plastic, but this has real warmth and flair, with a wonderful wood finish.

The Avantree SP850 is a popular little desktop radio, perfectly suited for the kitchen or workshop. It features a rechargeable battery and, being roughly the size of an iPhone, it can be taken virtually anywhere. Avantree have focused their efforts on user-friendly features such as auto-scan and one of the easiest ways to manually search stations. The ten large buttons with numbered slots not only make saving a favorite station a breeze, but also act as a smart dial. Just punch in 1022 to tune into 102.2 FM, for instance.

AM/FM: BothBluetooth/Wi-Fi: NoneDigital: NoWhat We Like: Full stereo sound, in contrast to the many mono radios on this list.What We Don't: Volume is slightly lower than we would like. 59ce067264
