As soon as we completed our kitchen renovation last year I started dreaming about what I would like to buy to finish off the room. I wanted gadgets galore, the works but at the top of my wishlist was a VQ radio. I could just imagine myself mopping the floor whilst dancing around listening to the radio.
Last week I got my hands on one and it is everything I dreamed of and more. The three of us are now often found in the kitchen having a boogie! I dread to imagine what the neighbours think! All I know is that chores won't ever be the same in this house, not with our VQ radio blaring!
I love my radio so much that I have teamed up with VQ to give one away on the blog. The model up for grabs is the VQ Retro Mini in the Emma Bridgewater's famous Black Toast design.
The VQ Retro Mini is small but perfectly formed with making it a stylish and functional addition to any home. Retro Mini will compliment any décor thanks to its premium leatherette wrap which is available in 11 design influenced colours & 3 Emma Bridgewater patterns.
Retro Mini features DAB, DAB+ and FM radio reception which means you have access to the full range of digital and analogue services across the UK and Europe.
If it’s time to enjoy your favourite tracks from your own music library simply connect any smart device via Bluetooth, or if you’d prefer use the 3.5mm aux-in connection. Other cable connections include, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB charging port so you can charge up your device as you stream.
Unbeaten Audio Quality
Backed by British design & engineering with a premium real wood construction to the single 5W ultra-wide premium full range speaker drivers, this sounds as good as it looks.
