Waste of money - update

I've had it barely 4 months. I have a lot of music on my mobile phone which I want to listen to via the radio as it's louder and better quality. For the past 3 weeks the radio has been switching itself off after just 15 minutes connection via blue tooth. This is HUGELY annoying and so I will be contacting Roberts to return it.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2019
I bought this radio because of a positive review in what hifi. Yes, it looks good but personally, I find that the the design could have been improved. The cord attaches from underneath the radio. This means that when you have the radio in an upright position (i.e. on its feet), the cord is trapped. I don't like this.
Still, this is just a niggle. The constant switching off is not.
UPDATE: I rang Roberts Customer service. They could not explain why the bluetooth connection was cutting out but they were really friendly and took effort and time to run through possible issues. In the end I had to do a factory reset. This meant I had to re-enter wifi password again and it also meant I lost ALL the internet stations I had painstakingly found and saved. Radio no longer cuts of after 15 minutes bluetooth connection.
I will therefore increase my vote from 2 stars to 4 stars. Still don't like the cable coming from the bottom of the radio BUT customer service was brilliant and (for the time being) the problem has been solved by factory reset.

I've been searching for the perfect all-in-one audio set-up for a while and this is a close as I've got: compact, portable, dab & internet radio, music streaming services, Bluetooth, with good sound, and also that looks attractive. This is it! Looks absolutely gorgeous, really comprehensive audio options, and the sound is great: I've recently been pretty disappointed with the Roberts Rambler dab which has gorgeous retro looks but dull and lifeless sound with no depth and very little bass for £100, so was really hesitant to get this when I saw the price of this istream 3, but the audio quality is very good: not as 'hi-fi' as a sonos 1 or similar (not as much clearly defined bass or as sparkly trebles) but really has a nice warm-ish tone with a decent amount of bass and adjustable eq. It sounds really pleasing and non-fatiguing for music and voices. Good to be able to control it with the Undok app too. I've been using some Amazon Echo speakers recently and they are good but sometimes it's great to be able to use physical buttons. Also, having a screen to view makes Internet radio exploration a much better experience (you can't really browse without a screen to look at, as per an Echo) - there's a whole world of Internet radio to discover out there and I think this radio is a great way to do that.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2019
One annoyance is that it take over 30 seconds to switch on when using on batteries... that is REALLY painfully annoying, but apart from that this is a wonderful fully featured unit: great connectivity, looks and sound. Worth the cash IMHO.

Decent, until it stopped working (12 hours use).
