The ideal radio for your kitchen, this one from Philips has a clear display and a countdown timer that shows you exactly how much longer dinner will be. You can plug it in through the mains connection, or if all your plugs are in use, pop in some batteries. Liven up cooking time – listen to podcasts, access streaming services and enjoy thousands of digital radio stations with crystal-clear reception. What’s more, it’s beautifully designed, with a wood casing that surrounds the LCD display panel and fabric-covered speaker.
