Whether you’re walking, relaxing in the garden, or catching your favourite radio shows on the move, the Aiwa RS-55/RD packs serious audio into a compact, travel-friendly form. Don’t let its small size fool you — it’s built with thoughtful features, sharp reception, and classic radio appeal.

Why the Aiwa RS-55 Stands Out & Aiwa Brand Heritage

Aiwa is a brand with deep roots in audio history, known for delivering reliable, user-friendly devices across radios, speakers, and portable audio gear. What sets the RS-55 apart is its smart balance of simplicity and effectiveness: it doesn’t try to be everything, but the features it offers are well executed.

What makes this radio better than many others?

• Signal sensitivity: the telescopic antenna and analog tuning provide control and strong reception even in fringe areas.

• Portability: at just ~132 g and powered by common AA batteries, it’s easy to take with you anywhere.

• Solid build & smart features: the fold-out tilt stand and protective pouch show attention to real-world use.

• Analogue tuning: some users prefer the tactile feel and granularity of analog tuning over digital presets — this is exactly that experience.

• Compact design: its slim profile (26 mm thick) and compact footprint make it ideal for bags or shelves without taking over space.

Warranty & Support (via TommieKelly.ie)

When you purchase the Aiwa RS-55/RD from TommieKelly.ie, you benefit from working with an authorised retailer. We provide the standard manufacturer warranty (usually 12 months, though we’ll confirm at the time of purchase). Because you’re buying locally, any warranty claims or support issues can be handled through us directly, rather than dealing with overseas vendors.
