Energy Saving Week: crystal clear, low energy radio from Roberts
Everyone loves the classic Roberts Radio design, but this is the all-British company's first specially-designed eco friendly model.
The Gemini 21 has 150 hours battery life, which is five times the usual playing time for similar radios (it's a DAB, which means no crackling or interference from annoying pirate stations, as well as features like 'pause' and 'rewind'). The main problem with DAB is its tendency to guzzle up a lot of power, but Roberts has cut back the power requirements on the Gemini 21 as much as possible. The radio costs £79.99 and is available from various stockists or Roberts' own website.
