Written by the company

In 2011, VQ (known then as View Quest), launched the original Retro Radio – a DAB / DAB+ Digital Radio and Apple Docking station. The original retro was designed to change the market, a multi-functional product that came in a range of colours very much with the design conscious in mind. A hit with the public and press alike, the radio even won a prestigious What HiFi Award. The classic line of success brings success is never more true than in the story of VQ as in the years since we’ve been working hard to produce increasingly incredible products that continue to win awards and your hearts. The one thing we’ve always put at the heart of our design though is choice, many have (and still do) consider us mad for offering you such a wide choice of colours and finishes. We don’t think it’s mad, in fact we’ve built everything in our business to give you that choice because we believe it’s important. You will live with our radios and speakers for a lifetime and we want them to be an expression of your own taste & style. As part of that mission to give you choice and to deliver products that get you excited to have them in your home, we’ve also been fortunate to forge relationships with designer brands that are loved by millions of people across the world. We design and manufacture products in partnership with; Emma Bridgewater, Joules, Laura Ashley & Cath Kidston and there are many more designer names to come. Ultimately as our product range grows from; radio to docking stations, Bluetooth speakers, multi-room systems to Smart Speakers we remain true to our founding principal, it has to be something that looks and sounds good enough for Jonathan to have in his home.

Excellent response!

Victoria at Customer Services was so helpful in replacing the VQ radio I had purchased which had a fault I could not fix. The new VQ radio is perfect with excellent sound quality. Thank you!

Fantastic customer service

We have had a couple of issues with our radio alarm clock. We have had it for around 8 years so we thought it was just old and needed replacing.
After contacting the customer service department they helped up reboot the appliance and also tricks on how to re-establish the radio stations. Victoria has be such a great help.
I highly recommend this company. Delighted with their fast response and support.

Laura Ashley Elveden kettle

I contacted My VQ recently because the rim round the temperature gauge on my Laura Ashley Elveden kettle was peeling off & looked shabby. I bought it on 5/01/23 & the 2 year extended warranty expired on 10/01/25. However, their Customer Service were brilliant in dealing with my query. They were prompt, courteous & efficient & replaced my kettle without any hesitation. I would happily recommend this company to anyone as they were understanding & professional.

Received radio last night

Received radio last night. Very easy to set up. Connected tablet and phone via Bluetooth. It is great. Looks good, stylish. Sound with music or speech is great. My friend came around this afternoon and thought sound was better than any she had heard from a small radio. It is.
I need to give a loud round of applause to Victoria who should have a gold medal for the Best customer services person in the World. She replies to emails immediately, that is so rare these days, she answers all questions and provides extra useful information. Lucky company having her as an employee!

The best customer service

Ordered a radio from back in early December for a Christmas Gift
Things didn’t work for us on DAB- I do believe it was a location problem as tried 2 units.
Today I received notification that full refund is in progress- no hassle- no quibbles- no chasing by me.

The “problem” was managed by Victoria who must be one of the best customer service people I have ever dealt with. I am retired but was in procurement for many years, so have in my life met many a customer service person.
Victoria's style is so refreshing:- friendly-responsive-open- honest-helpful.

Although on this occasion did not complete a purchase I have left with a very good impression of the integrity of MYVQ

What you see and read IS what you get

This very neat and compact radio has a wonderful tone and clarity for its size. Very easy to follow instructions and the screen is clear and with information on it. I bought this after going through the Which report for radios and they had it spot on. Great value for money, extremely pleased with it.

First rate customer services

I bought a VQ Dexter portable radio, and everything about it was excellent, except I found the instructions for setting the preset channels a bit confusing. I contacted Customer Services, and Victoria explained really clearly how to do it, which was great. That sort of after-care service is so rare, and I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

Top customer service - thank you!

After annoyingly losing the power cable to my Lulu Guinness DAB radio, I contacted customer services to ask if they could tell me the details so that I could purchase a replacement. To my surprise, they instead offered to send me out a replacement cable for free!! This arrived promptly today and I’m so thrilled to be able to use my radio once again. The sound quality is great and the retro design goes really well in our home office too! I would 100% recommend this company and their radio. And a special thank you in particular to Victoria at customer services!

Top company

There was no reason for the company to replace my lead for free, but they offered to do so immediately I sent my question, and for that I am extremely grateful and will promote the company as best I can.

Interesting product

Interesting product, excellent sound, easy to set up if your eyesight is good enough to read the multilingual instructions in very small pale grey print. Seems much easier to select stations than my previous bedside alarm. Only two alarms but enough for me

Reply from VQ

Hi June. Thank you for your review. I believe that my colleague has been in contact with you and that you sent the kettle to our UK distributor rather than ourselves - so we did not know about the returned kettle.

As for the email that you sent, we did reply on the 8th January, which is longer than normal, however we were closed for 13 days over Christmas and New Year.

We always recommend contacting us first so we can provide a returns number and a returns label for faulty products.

I understand that we are replacing your kettle for you and tracking details will be sent once dispatched. Thank you.

Great customer service

My daughter bought one of the Monty radios last year and has enjoyed it. Due to a mishap, she broke the top off the radio antenna. I contacted the company and they just sent a replacement. Very kind.
