About this product
The Bush FM Compact Portable Radio is a straightforward AM and FM radio that's built for portability and personal listening wherever you are. With 12 hours of battery life from 4 x C batteries (not included), it'll keep you company through a full day in the garden or a long afternoon on the patio. The rotary dial tuning makes finding your favourite station simple and tactile, without any fuss or complicated menus. There's a mono speaker for listening while you work, and a headphone socket when you want to keep the music to yourself.
It runs on mains power or batteries, so you can use it indoors or take it outside without being tied to a socket. It's compact enough to fit on a shelf or slip into a bag, and light enough to carry from room to room or out to the shed. The headphone output delivers 5 watts RMS, which gives you clear, decent volume for personal listening. It's one of those radios that does exactly what you need without overcomplicating things. Comes with a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Customers Say
Compact, easy-to-use analogue radio with decent sound and reception for the price. Some users report tuning difficulties and tinny sound. Good value for simple, portable use, especially for elderly or casual listeners.

Did not tune in.
I returned this after having it for one day as it was very diffcult to tune into any FM stations. The tuner dial only had to be turned a small amount and it lost the signal. Aerial is very short.

Poor
Bought this week. The sound is tinny and weak. The quality of the item is questionable. It was the cheapest at £14.99 so I didn’t expect much. It’ll do for occasional use in the spare bedroom.

Good radio
Good little radio took a little bit of getting the tuning right seem to be able to get fm stations more than am ones but that's probably due to signal not been to good where radio was situated

Light to carry
Just used it. Loud enough for me. Had a shower and put the radio outside the door. Light to carry anywhere. I buy some batteries when I pop to the shop.

Radio poor reception .
Thought it might get a better reception,but very hard to tune it to a clear signal. Be better to try something before you buy it,but I suppose it’s only a low price do don’t expect too much .
Disappointed
Good for the price
Good price and works off mains and batteries. Says it is compact but it is larger than I expected and a bit cheap looking Tuned quite easily to stations and sounds is acceptable for the price and quality. Overall quite happy with it

Compact and light
