I hope Amazon read these reviews as well!
I bought the Roberts Solar DAB 2 radio for two reasons, brand reputation and for the ability to solar charge. My wife is caring for C-19 patients in one of the London Hospitals and is having to stay in nursing accommodation (Infection Risk). There is great demand for the one or two plug sockets that they use. So thought a solar radio would be ideal. The problem is that it only seems to hold a charge on the new rechargeable batteries of about an hour, not the 20 hrs as stated in the instructions. I tried to contact Roberts by phone and email and am still waiting for a reply.
All I can say Roberts if this is how you build radios, I hope you have nothing to do with building ventilators.
Sorry Amazon if I do not hear anything back from Roberts this will be a return.
