About this product
The Bush FM Portable Pocket Radio is a properly portable companion for when you're working in the garden, walking to the stores, or just fancy listening to your favourite station without being tied to one spot. It picks up FM and AM bands so you can catch everything from Radio 2 to local news and sport, and with 20 preset stations you can store your regulars and switch between them instantly. The clear LCD display shows you what you're tuned into at a glance, and the mono speaker means you can listen out loud or plug in headphones (not included) when you want to keep it private.
It genuinely fits in a pocket or tool belt, and with up to 10 hours of battery life from 2 x AAA batteries (not included), it'll see you through a full day of pottering about without needing a recharge. The headphone socket delivers 0.25 watts RMS, which is plenty for personal listening, and the simple controls mean you're not faffing around trying to find your station. It's the sort of radio you can chuck in a bag, take to the allotment, or keep in the shed without worrying about it. Comes with a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Customers Say
Compact, easy-to-use pocket radio with good FM reception and decent sound. Battery life varies; some find controls fiddly and AM reception weak. Great value and portable for outdoor use and hospital stays.

Great for trackside
I bought this to take trackside motorcycle racing and it didnt let me down, earbuds in sound was great, reception of circuit fm was great, batteries lasted all day. Half the price of circuit radio that only does one station. Fab

Good radio for taking on walks
Good little radio, ideal for taking on dog walks or holidays. Volume is not really loud but you can hear it perfectly and I haven't had to change the batteries too often

Bad buy
Bought it recently, couldn't fault the click and collect service but the product is not fit for purpose, controls are fiddley and don't work and the reception is poor and it hisses constantly. It will be returned!

Decent enough product
Not had this long, and it seems to be of pretty decent quality. My one concern is that when batteries need replacing, you have to reset everything which is a pain. I'm also not sure why there's a need for a clock on it, and how much battery that uses.

Ideal pocket radio
What an excellent little radio! We bought 2 on our way to Silverstone so we could keep up with everything going on. They did not disappoint! They are a perfect size for your pocket.
