15 Minutes Per Day
I am very happy with the Bush Compact Portable Radio I bought 2 weeks ago. It was a kind of radio I wanted. It was inexpensive and I like that it is powered by batteries. The tuning and the sound volume and quality are all fine. The radio is analog which is what I wanted. I didn't want a DAB radio. I will be using the radio for about 15 minutes per day.

This is a decent radio for the price but it would have been better if it had a vacility to improve the bass.
