Beautiful Looks -- Accurate Sound

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018

We've been spending some months with this radio and I'm happy to report that it's a keeper! Setup was straightforward using the iPad app -- identical to the setup on another brand, so they're using a standard interface...less to learn. The design is just beautiful, industrial high-tech meets mid-century modern. The tone is very clear and neutral and it really shines at higher volume. We even used it at a gathering, plugged into a laptop, and it easily filled the room. We have a Bose Soundtouch in the kitchen and it has a warm, hyped bottom end, which makes for pleasant listening, even at low volumes (think "loudness compensation"). The Revo doesn't try to do this, though one can tweak the EQ to taste. Navigating between FM and streaming, and between stations is pretty easy, though I find the black-on-black buttons nearly impossible to find in dim light. But the big volume control on the side is a winner, and the remote is very good. It feels like a very solid, well-designed device that we expect will bring us years -- maybe even decades -- of enjoyment.

Update: Almost 6 years later, still sounds and looks great!

Great sound. Negatives

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2017

Positive: Great sound.
Negatives: The controls on the radio are too small and difficult to see as the face and controls are black.
The remote is small (too small) although the on- line photo shows a large remote which is available for additional purchase.
On balance: I decided to keep the radio because of the great sound in a small unit.

Very good quality and very good sounding radio hails from Scotland. Can choose the remote control for this unit comes with a chiclet style "mini" remote but can order from Revo UK a larger "chunky" style remote. The reason didnt get 5 stars? Because it looses its memory when unplugged and set up in another room or if power should fail for any reason.

Amazing look and feature worth the price

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

This radio exceeded my expectations. It's one of my more spendy purchases, but the value for what I paid is amazing. These radios were designed in Scotland, made in China. The wood, aluminum, and screen really make for an expressive "rustic modernity" statement. I originally was going to purchase the model with the uncolored aluminum fascia, but it was out of stock. I ended up being happier with the black aluminium model -- it tends to contrast better with my room and blends into the background better while still holding a bold allure. It's got class, it all I can really say. The screen is really simple, and the features are wholesome.

I would love for REVO to update the already robust features to include Chromecast/Google Cast support. Although it is possible to connect a Chromecast Audio edition to the device through the AUX port, native support for the service would bump this 5 star product to 6, if it was possible.

A potential flaws is that this radio isn't too user friendly at first. It's easy enough setting up the wireless, but don't expect gram or gramps (abuelo or abuela) to set if up -- or use it past the FM radio features! That said, there's no DAB/+ support in the USA so FM and 3.5 AUX support are your best bets for non-wireless features. This exceeded my expectations. Works nicely, as it has a nice antenna in the back. My favorite feature is Spotify Connect.

Wow I love this radio! I’m really impressed over how easy it was to navigate through the features and user interface. Combine it with the seamless integration with UNDOK, this radio is leaps and bounds above any of its competitors. I’ve been a Bose person for years, now it seems I will be a Revo fan.

Mediocre FM receiver

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

Pricey and the FM receiver is not particularly sensitive. Very nice sound though. I mainly use it as a Wi-Fi radio since the FM receiver is mediocre at best. I've got an inexpensive Sony bedroom radio which pulls in more FM stations but, of course, the sound doesn't come close to the Revo SuperConnect.

Excellent sound

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2023

The sound of this radio is the next level in tabletop radio. I have it for over a year now, the sound quality is so much better, I put away most of my portable radio; and I have quite a few, except CC plus for AM listening. This is an internet radio, so there will be times you need to refresh the internet connection, reconfigure wireless/Bluetooth connection, and all that geek stuff. So far, I have been able to manage the tech issues popped up now and then but it's a lingering concern what the next one may be. The Revo sound is amazing, you can hear the violin in a good recording.

Failing to work after a short time

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2017

I wrote a 4-star review for this unit. Unfortunately, I have had many problems with it. First, the remote control began to work only about 50% of the time. I called the help line and the company tech representative was unable to get it to work via the call so he just gave up. A few months later the remote quit working most of the time. I ordered a full size remote control and that didn’t work either. The issue was in the unit. Now after about 6 months since the unit was new, it no longer connects to the internet and it just keep twirling but does not connect. It appears to be completely useless now. I gave up. It was purchased by a company which have this right me as a gift. I have no recourse. I ended up buying a new Internet radio but not this brand. The sound quality of the Revo is excellent but the equity control isn’t good. It sent out a bad unit and the after market help is no good.

Buon prodotto ma il firmware non corrisponde al manuale

Reviewed in Italy on October 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

Ho acquistato il prodotto dopo aver analizzato le specifiche nel sito e letto il manuale.
Premetto che possiedo diverse radio Revo dalla version iblink. Ebbene nel manuale e nel sito è specificamente menzionato che SuperConnect può connettersi ai server DNLA locali attraverso il menù Music Player.
Ma di tale voce sorprendentemente non c'è traccia scorrendo il menù nella radio. Il firmware è aggiornato, quindi ho chiesto spiegazioni al supporto tecnico, ma nessuna risposta. Per il resto com'è mi esperienza Revo produce buoni prodotti. E' incredibile come un'azienda possa fallire in questo modo grossolano, specialmente nel customer care.

SuperConnect = SuperRadio

Nach drei Wochen Benutzung als Küchenradio bin ich komplett zufrieden, sowohl was den Klang betrifft, für mich klar das Hauptkriterium, als auch was die gebotenen Verbindungsmöglichkeiten betrifft.
Das Revo kommt als erstes Radio bis heute an den Klang hochwertiger Radiogeräte aus vergangenen Tagen heran, meinem Empfinden nach.
Es klingt harmonisch über das gesamte Frequenzspektrum,
Instrumente und Stimmen haben ihren natürlichen „Körper“, wirken nicht verhangen, aufgebläht, oder sonstwie unnatürlich.
Hätte ich gar nicht mehr erwartet, dass das noch ein Hersteller hinbekommt in dem Segment.
Die Fernbedienung ist einfach gehalten, erfüllt aber ihren Zweck, sie steuert sämtliche wichtigen Funktionen.
Zur Haltbarkeit kann ich natürlich nichts sagen nach wenigen Wochen, der Qualitätseindruck bisher ist aber komplett einwandfrei.
Wäre es günstiger würde ich ein zweites kaufen für‘s Schlafzimmer.
