    Light weight
  • Cons
    Won't tune to popular stations

Idea is brilliant but it turned out to be a big waste of money. Originally it scanned all digital stations available in Sydney metro area, but now it only picks up a few. There is no apparent reason to lose the stations. I certainly will never buy bush Walker. Battery power doesn't last either and I have gone through a lot of batteries. My advice walk past this radio and buy a different brand.

  • Pros
    Digital radio
  • Cons
    Trying to turn up the sound

When first turning on this radio the sound is faint and it's necessary to turn up the sound. Unfortunately, more often than not, the up-volume switch doesn't work. It's a real hit-and-miss situation. Sometimes the up-volume button works and other times it doesn't.

Very annoying. It's put me off the BUSH brand. I'm really getting tired of paying for goods that don't work after a short period of time. While this would still be under guarantee they make it hard to actually action the warrantee by requiring it to be sent away to be repaired. All too hard.

    Flimsy, temperamental, uses too much battery power

Even though this radio is light weight, I too think it is flimsy. The controls are incredibly temperamental and finding my favorite radio station is sometimes very frustrating. The radio usually works well, but if I lean over or stand in the 'wrong' spot it doesn't work. The radio uses too much battery power. I find myself changing the batteries every few days. My old portable radio uses one battery and lasts for weeks. I'm ready to give up on this radio and go back to my old one.
