Frequently asked

Do retro radios support Bluetooth streaming?

Most modern retro-styled radios include Bluetooth 5.0 or higher alongside FM and AM tuning. Some also add DAB+ digital radio and AUX inputs for older audio sources.

Can a kitchen radio handle splashes and steam?

None of the radios in this guide are fully waterproof. I keep mine on a shelf away from the stove and wipe condensation off the cabinet weekly to prevent moisture damage.
