We've been waiting for this deal for quite some time. The Roberts Revival Petite 2 is an Award-winning radio that we've been hugely keen on since we tested it back in May 2024, but discounts have been thin on the ground for a product that generally won't budge from its £100 price tag.
The time, finally, has come. A few pounds shaved off here and there have hinted at a proper drop, but this is possibly the first proper deal we've witnessed for the Petite 2, dropping it from £100 to a very attractive £80 at John Lewis.
Best Roberts Revival Petite 2
If you're after a super-portable DAB radio that looks great, sounds better and does a lot more than you might expect, the Award-winning Roberts Revival Petite 2 is not hard to recommend.
Its meagre footprint is roughly the size of an iPhone or a soft drink can, meaning you can put it pretty much anywhere you like. Perched on a kitchen countertop, popped onto a windowsill, tucked into a shelf or just plonked on your desk as you work, the Roberts looks at home wherever it goes.
Give the Roberts a decent home and your reward will be clear, smooth sound that's far better than a radio of this size has any right to be. As we said in our review, "It’s a lively, rhythmically engaging sound that has a surprising amount of weight and punch to it, given the unit's size. The way it handles voices is a highlight, sounding clean, solid and detailed".
The (almost) pocket-sized unit offers a hefty 20 hours of battery life, while an expanded feature set means the Revival Petite 2 does a lot more than just pump out Radio 1. You can stream your own playlists from your smartphone via Bluetooth, play podcasts, listen to live sports and talk radio, while there's a 3.5mm headphone port if you want to get up close and personal with your tunes.
Our handsome test sample looked resplendent in a handsome Midnight Blue finish, but the deal above is for the Greige and Deep Red colourways. If they're as nice as that blue shade, you'll end up with a product that really looks the part.
Check it out at John Lewis before stocks run dry.
