Roberts' trio of new Rambler DAB radios are all brand new and retro and I want one.


There’s something deeply charming about the design of a Roberts radio – my family had one in the kitchen when I was a kid, and I remember it both for its wonderfully retro look (it wasn’t too dissimilar to the very distinctive Roberts R66 from the 1950s, although ours was decades newer) and for its sound quality, which made other radios sound embarrassingly bad. So I’m delighted to see that the latest Roberts radios have incorporated their distinctively modern technology into designs that Harry Roberts himself might have created.

Roberts has introduced three new additions to its Rambler family: the Rambler Uno, the Rambler Midi and the Rambler Max. And while they wouldn't look out of place in my childhood kitchen, they're packed with modern technology.

The Rambler Uno is the most affordable of the new radio models, and is the successor to the Rambler Mini. It's a DAB, DAB+ and FM radio and clock radio with a full-range speaker and passive bass radiator, a transparent OLED panel and Bluetooth, and it runs on four AA batteries. It's really pretty and quite affordable for a Roberts model, priced at £129.99 (that's about $171 or AU$254, give or take a dollar). You can choose from duck blue, navy blue or pastel cream.
