Good Points

It does the DAB
Oh, and it reminds me of my old Sony cube.


Bad Points

It's made by Bush, so expecting problems.
No proper instructions.


General Comments

The other people's problems of buzzing...

My brother got one of these 1st. After a few months I noticed a buzzing from his.
I got a different DAB radio for Christmas, couldn't get a signal, brought it back to the shop and ended up with the Bush as the only price comparable DAB radio.

It's been great. No buzz.

Noticed that there is now no buzz from my brother's one either. Percussive maintenance solved the problem for him - turned it upside down and let it fall on his bedside table from about 4 inches - problem solved. (reminds me of how I fixed an old Benkson radio of mine - but this is not a Benkson, so don't worry)

All in all a great product, especially considering the price!

Of course having not owned any other DAB radios my opinion is based solely on what I want this product to do -
- It gives me perfect access to all stations available in my local mux (outperforming a dearer stand alone player I was given as a gift)
- It hasn't failed in getting any station that is available
- there is no persistent noise (the unit is 1 foot from my head when I sleep and I hear nothing)
- the display tells me more than I expected (having been used to FM radio in the past)
- this is my reliable Sony cube that I used for over ten years in DAB form

Only bad point I can see is no FM/AM option, but as I can get all stations I need on my mux it's not a problem for me, might be an irk for a real radio enthusiast though.
