Review: Highly recommended - Monty has replaced a straight DAB radio in our kitchen. It looks fantastic in our country kitchen, is easy to use and most importantly the sound quality and volume are superb for such a compact unit. Finish and design are spot on, controls feel nice and the screen is very easy to read. It's not going to compete with a sound system with its singular 10w speaker, but for low level background/entertaining volumes its crystal clear and can go nice and loud when a favorite track comes on, retaining crisp sound and surprisingly good bass for a small unit. Bluetooth pairing takes around 5 seconds and hasn't caused any issues yet - this will depend somewhat on what you're using to stream from, but range seems excellent (iPhone 7+); I was in the loft the other day, still happily streaming to Monty in the kitchen. If you're looking for a kitchen/diner radio that fits in with a wide range of styles and can hold its own in the sound quality department - Monty is what you're looking for. Review: Good quality but instructions could be better - This little radio has very good quality sound. As is often the case, the instructions could be better. As far as I can see, there is nothing to say how to change to the 3 pin adaptor (it comes with a 2 pin one). There are arrows to show which direction to twist it off but I didn't notice the little button you have to press to release the adaptor and nearly wrenched the adaptor off. Programming is reasonable but I didn't realise at first that when setting the alarm volume, the row of little squares indicate this. The USB socket at the back is useful for charging your phone. ## Features - RELIABLE RECEPTION, MORE STATIONS: This digital radio DAB covers DAB, DAB+ and FM with auto-scan.

As is often the case, the instructions could be better. As far as I can see, there is nothing to say how to change to the 3 pin adaptor (it comes with a 2 pin one). There are arrows to show which direction to twist it off but I didn't notice the little button you have to press to release the adaptor and nearly wrenched the adaptor off. Programming is reasonable but I didn't realise at first that when setting the alarm volume, the row of little squares indicate this. The USB socket at the back is useful for charging your phone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value but user interface could be more elegant and there are no tone (bass/treble) controls *by A***M on 14 December 2021* Bought to sit on tall refrigerator in kitchen, using mains power, and only a small number of pre-set UK stations, mostly used for speech (news, discussions, lectures, etc.) and only occasionally (classical) music, e.g. on Classic FM channel or Radio 3. So far very impressed, except for obscure instructions and clumsy mechanism for switching between pre-set channels after they have been set up. There should be a mode in which channels can be quickly changed using left/right or up/down buttons, instead of having to press '*' every time before switching between pre-set channels. Comments in reviews indicate that many users have not understood the instructions. Having a tiny manual with very terse microscopic text may have saved paper and ink but is *very* user-unfriendly, especially thoughtless for elderly long-sighted users -- other reviewers have also complained. Really thoughtless and pointless. I have not yet tried listening to news while kitchen extractor fan is on, but it should work on maximum volume. So far I am very impressed by the sound that comes from such a small box (smaller than I expected when I ordered it) -- apart from slight irritating "boom" not noticed at first. I would have welcomed controls for changing bass and treble levels, but they would have added to the cost. I don't expect I'll ever need it to be portable, and I have not ordered a battery. I may update this review after more experience with the radio: so far it's several days. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cath Kidston Portable DAB Radio Alarm Clock - VQ Monty Digital FM Radio with Bluetooth - Rechargeable Radio with Bluetooth Speaker - Dual Alarm DAB+ Radio Bedside with 60 Presets - Antique Rose - Mycket DAB Radio Portable, DAB Plus Digital Radios with Bluetooth, USB Rechargeable FM Radio, Battery Powered Small Radio,Dual Alarms Clock,Sleep Timer, 40 Presets Stations, 2.4" Large Colour Display - Groov-e Rise - Digital Alarm Clock with FM Radio, LCD Display, & Dimmer Function - 12hr/24hr Time Modes - Mains Powered, Backup Battery System - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/160162451-laura-ashley-portable-dab-radio-mains-powered-and-battery-china](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/160162451-laura-ashley-portable-dab-radio-mains-powered-and-battery-china) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
