TeckNet MT-051 Apple iPod FM and Remote Control

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: TeckNet


I bought this item, thinking that it will have an speaker and a remote for my iPod, it did.
After a couple of weeks, although I did not increase the volume to the maximum level, the speaker stopped working, but the remote still worked.
I asked for a replacement, thinking that maybe there was a problem with the product, they sent me the replacement, it was working again, but the same thing happened after a couple of weeks, so I asked for another replacement, I did this for about 3 times.
After that, they said send it to us and we will see what the problem was, they think I am an idiot, well if you think about it, it will cost me more than the products price to send it to them, so I did not send them, but I thought, if they sent ... Read More:

Bush PSDAB2004 Personal DAB Radio

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Bush Industries

I paid less than 20 pounds for this, from a large branch of a well known supermarket who were obviously trying to get rid of them.

I like the rubberised case, but like others would prefer the headphone socket at the top, so can put in a shirt pocket. Lack of power adaptor not such a problem. It says 4 volts, but will work fine on 3 volts. I paid 8 pounds for a suitable mains adaptor from a certain High St electrical retailer. It takes the same sized 'tip' as my Sony radio, but plug is at a different polarity. The annoying thing is that when used with a mains adaptor, the backlight stays on all the time, there is no option to turn it off.

I use rechargable batteries for everything. I put in 2 fully charged 2000mA 'AA's ... Read More:

iLuv i177 - Alarm Clock Radio With iPod Docking System - White

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: iLuv

November 01, 2006


Lots of features but no punch on sound even w/ 'Bass Booster' equalizer on iPod.

Sound lacks decent punch but that's only to be expected for the size and price.

Unbearable to listen on/above 25 vol. (max is 40!).

It kept us awake all night w/ interference (loud) noises every now and then.
An irritating buzz , like morse code.

After 2-3 days it is unbearable to listen to a cheap & plasticky sound.

So too expensive for what delivers. (which isn't much).

Philips Portable DAB Radio With 1GB MP3 Player DA1102 With WAV Audio Capture, Built in Microphone, Voice Recording

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Philips


Bought this DAB portable radio and found that the reception on many channels was poor. When storing preset stations and then selecting them, the radio would play a different channel to the one selected! It is easy to accidently
press the scan button only to find you have lost all your stored stations.
The battery life is very poor so use rechargeabe ones but need to charge each day by removing them and placing in a seperate charger!

Would not buy another one.

Freeplay EyeMax Radio - Wind-Up, Solar & Rechargeable AM\FM Radio - Crystal Clear Tint Blue

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Freeplay


Bought this to replace a broken (different) one; use it in the bathroom for those long dips in the tub. Used it a couple of times and it does the job, simple as that.

Only use the wind up function and it holds the charge longer than the old radio used to, I presume this is due to technology advancing, so I get more radio time for my exertions!

Great piece of kit, well worth the money.

Roberts MP-23 (MP-Sound 23) Home Audio System

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Radios and DAB
from: Roberts


If you do not want to spend twice as much on Bose, get this unit. Excellent sound and build quality. We only use it for DAB so I cannot comment on other sound sources.
What is miss is direct iPod connection, not just input jack.

And what we do not like? The LCD is too bright during the night, so bright it seems feels like full moon. However, this can be advantage if you need to find way out of the bedroom and back during night.

Logitech MX1000 Wireless Laser Mouse

A good mouse whilst it works, but after about a year the charging dock started failing to connect to the mouse properly. Another year later and the left mouse button no longer works properly - it double or triple or even 25-clicks when you touch it sometimes. I've got mice that still work 20 years later, so this is a pretty poor effort. It hasn't even had much use because I've been away a lot - it still looks brand new to the eye.
