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 Service
I had an issue with the battery function of my Laura Ashley Dexter radio so contacted Customer Services. Both Darren and Victoria went out of their way to try and solve the problem with questions by emails.
Unfortunately the problem persisted so I was offered a discount on a new model as mine is out of warranty.
Fantastic customer service thank you
I send my best wishes to you both and certainly would use this Company again.
I cannot thank Darren at My VQ enough…
I cannot thank Darren at My VQ enough for his attentive response to my query. I sent an email asking if it was possible to supply a replacement lid for a Laura Ashley slow cooker that was damaged. Darren replied in a prompt and helpful way offering to send a replacement lid free of charge. Thank you so much Darren for the friendly and professional way you dealt with my customer query.
I purchased 2 Monty radios a year or so…
I purchased 2 Monty radios a year or so ago for two of my grandkids. Last Christmas, because the radios turned out to be just excellent, my wife bought a Monty radio for ME!
However, on both occasions there was problem both with the supply of rechargeable batteries and also with securing delivery of them here to Jersey. By the way you won't find a prettier packaged battery anywhere!
fortunately on both occasions too a young lady Victoria went out of her way to ensure that, once the renewed supply of batteries was secured, I received a message immediately informing me of such and she also went out of her way to ensure that the batteries could and would be sent here to Jersey.
I can only say that as a first point of contact and 'front of house', you would be hard pressed to find a more helpful, kind and cheerful employee than Victoria. She is a credit and a great asset to the company. I wish her well.
The level of customer service is excellent and reinforces the necessary trust and reliability needed when purchasing anything on-line.
The radios are great and soon I can look forward to enjoying mine in the garden!
Sincere thanks
Great Bluetooth speaker
Great Bluetooth speaker. Bought it for my wife as a present. Power cable stopped working but the company responded immediately and sent out a replacement power cable free of charge. Great customer service.
Had a warranty issue
Had a warranty issue. Victoria helped troubleshoot to resolve the problem. Very timely response.
I was trying to fill out my 24 months…
I was trying to fill out my 24 months warranty but could not find my kettle I purchased on the website. One qick email and it was all sorted.
Thanks again Darren.
My Monty mains cable wore out
My Monty mains cable wore out through constant use. I think that the cable is the one and only weak point on the radio as I'd already done a repair on it. Thank you for supplying a new one so quickly free of charge. The radio itself, I'm still highly delighted with....the best radio I've ever had and not just because it was such a reasonable price.
I had a problem with the Monty battery…
I had a problem with the Monty battery not lasting and Victoria kept in touch with me over a few months.She organized a replacement free of charge and her service was above what I would have accepted.Would recommend the company to any one wanting a portable radio

Thank you
Excellent customer service
I have received excellent customer service from this company, both recently and in the past. I have been dealing with Victoria, via email, and she has been extremely accommodating, pleasant and very efficient. I have no hesitation in giving this company 5 stars.
Great sound, superb customer support but missing features
The customer support at VQ is 100%
My first radio had a vibration issue and was swiftly replaced. The replacement had minor case damage and when reported here customer service were all over it and replaced that radio as well.
My only wish list for this radio is to have a signal strength display and a battery level indicator when playing and charging

I needed some help with my appliance…
I needed some help with my appliance after I’d bought it. The team went above and beyond to assist me and I’m very satisfied with the outcome. Best customer service support I’ve received in a long time and I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you!
Poor quality …
The buttons on the VQ Monty radio feel cheap and nasty.
I have alot of problems when I press the power button to turn the radio on and off, bcos it's poorly made, so I now have to resort to unplugging it from the mains, when I want to switch off the radio.
Definitely wouldn't recommend anyone buying this radio, due to the poor quality of the unit

I cannot believe how fantastic VQ‘s…
I cannot believe how fantastic VQ‘s customer service has been. I contacted them after purchasing a Laura Ashley kettle from Currys in informing them that the switch had broken on the kettle after two years use and would they kindly send me a new switch to see if we could fix it and with no trouble or hesitation, they offered a replacement kettle and sent it out to me a week later this service definitely sticks and will definitely make me purchase from them again. Thank you very much for all of your help and service.
Fab customer service
Fab customer service. I got in touch with them as my speaker had stopped working – they promptly sent me a replacement, which has resolved the issue. 😊
Mini Retro radio.
Mini Retro radio.
I've contacted MyQV twice, customer service is 5 star.
Only giving 4 stars though, because the radio doesn't have the same user experience on battery power as mains power. Sound is good quality and good features.
