J	Joshua Krosenbrink on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ They have the default parts, not the special parts, dont expect online prices because this is a real shop! If you ask for exotic parts they start laughing, either saying it does not exist or it is of no use. Like they think air only has one giga Ohm resistance, they just lack the technical background so I just smile at them because they saved so many of my last minute projects.
N	Nick on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unfortunately these types of stores barely exist anymore (everything is online), so it's a pleasure to buy that random zener diode or whatever you need from a person. However, I have found (sometimes) that the staff can be rude, which is off putting. Eg I called to ask about a soldering iron they were selling - I fully expected it to be more expensive than online (that's fine), but my tepid question as to why the difference in price is quite so big resulted in a surprisingly rude response. Just because of that, I bought it online. I like to support local shops competing with Amazon, but the frustration from that interaction pushed me to buy online. All in all, a very good shop with (usually) helpful employees. Just don't mention anything about online shops unless you want an earful :)
V	Vince Fung on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Electrician's and hobbyists store. They had just the PC items I needed. Local shops are always closer than ordering online and wait a day or 2 to get what you need. Staff is friendly and helpful.
S	Sriram Kunjathur on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Choices are decent, however only the most common stuff is available here. If you want something specific it's probably better to buy it online because the person in the store is definitely not going to look for you. I wanted an LED screen and was told they don't have it. I turned around and it was in a corner of the display shelf. It seems like there's disinterest in both selling or assisting, which is too bad as I wanted a place where I could buy electronic components easily.
A	Andy Mitchell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This business is a good old fashioned electronics shop. It's an absolute gem. Whether it's a Raspberry Pi, or just some resistors and capacitors, they've got it. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Technical English is not a barrier. They speak English better than most natives. Some of the reviews state the staff are rude. This is absolute nonsense. The staff are Dutch and this means they speak their mind. It's the Dutch way. To summarise, Radio Rotor is truly a geek's paradise ?!
S	Sebastian Stachurski on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ All the parts needed to build up something. Helpful staff, i was in and out with everything I need in minutes.
R	River Lyle Reuveni on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ new (unused spare parts) ELECTRONICS AND CABLES. (LEDS transistors diodes resistors, some circuitry boards and more, i gurantee not everything you see here is for sale.
G	Gary Hymes on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you need anything electronic, this is the place to go. It looks small from the front but when entering, it is packed with anything from cameras to Ethernet cables. Many items are hanging on the wall for self service, but most things are retrieved from the staff at Radio Rotor (batteries, cables, converters, tweezers, magnets......) I've only been here a few times and then the 2020 pandemic arrived so everything changed. There was only enough space for one or two people in here at a time As of February 2021, the place is temporarily closed from the strict covid restrictions in The Netherlands, I hope it reopens whenever the restrictions lift.
