Whether you like retro gadgets or stylish tech, VQ's range of radios provide sound quality in a variety of colours to suit your taste.
We received the Christie model in the shade Orchid, a pretty pink/purple, and it matches Minxy's room perfectly. She is really into music as a tween so this was ideal for her to enjoy and it became a 'starting secondary school' treat. She now has it on in the background while doing her homework or turned up for a bit of a sing and dance before bed with Jamster, who has now requested one for when he starts year 7 too!
Engineered in Britain, VQ understand the importance of design and the entire collection, although unique, all look fantastic. The Christie can be powered via battery or electric and it can be used horizontally or vertically to fit any space required. I've never known another product of this kind to have a rotating display and control panel but it's so handy.
It has some great features including Bluetooth, where you can connect your own device and play your songs, or those from Spotify and other services, through the speaker! It has 2 alarm functions which are useful for the morning wake up or as reminders when the oven is on - I have another VQ in the kitchen and it's superb for my baking.
It has DAB, DAB+ and FM Radio reception enabling you to use all digital services available across the UK and Europe, although you can access the traditional analogue services too if you wish. You can also charge your tablet or phone using the USB ports which is again a very useful function to have.
If you feel a family member or friend would love a radio this Christmas you can use my code MINIMEVQ15 for 15% off all VQ products on the website http://www.myvq.co.uk/!
