The best things often come in small packages and the Duronic Hybrid radio is proof that this is true. Its petite lightweight design makes it convenient to tuck away in your pocket when out and about, so you can take your music with you wherever you go. It has good quality sound output and great reception with the ability to pick up both AM and FM stations easily using the extendable antenna.

But by far its best feature is its diverse charging capabilities; able to be charged in 3 different ways, this radio is truly versatile and ready for any situation. Because of its ingenious charging abilities, the Hybrid can be charged at any time, wherever you are, so you will never have an uncharged radio. The sky-facing solar panel ensures that as long as it's sat in daylight it will charge; simply place on a windowsill and it will automatically charge without you having to lift a finger.

Alternatively, if you’re after a quicker charge you can plug it in using the accompanying USB cable. And for those moments when you unexpectedly run out of power, simply crank the handle for a minute to get a whole 20 minutes of playback.

The best bit about having so many charging options – there is no battery waste! No need to buy, change or discard batteries over and over again. It’s a great way to reduce your carbon footprint AND save money on batteries.

Use Anywhere and Everywhere - The Hybrid radio is the perfect companion for taking on camping trips, beach excursions, hiking expeditions or family days out as it will let you tune into your favourite stations to enjoy while you’re on the go. Moreover, this radio isn’t just for popping into your pocket; it can be used around the home and garden to keep you company while you go about your daily tasks.

Be Prepared for The Unexpected - Have you thought of adding a wind-up radio to your emergency kit? If you find yourself isolated or without power then you’ll wish you had a radio like the Duronic Hybrid to be able to listen to weather warnings and emergency broadcasts. The best part: as this radio doesn’t require additional batteries, you can add it to a kit bag and forget about it! It will still be ready to use straight from the bag with just a bit of cranking to charge it up.£28.80 Incl VAT EVAQ8 evaq8.co.uk/sol…tml
