Have had trouble with 2 power cords for this radio. Have sent email to Bush, have not received a reply.
do not buy this radio.
I would not purchase another Bush product.

Poor quality power cord has frayed and now unit won’t work. Tried going online to see about purchasing a new cable but no prices listed - only the image. Glad I read the comments about battery operation being poor so won’t waste money on that option. Note to self; read reviews BEFORE purchase!

Faulty volume control from the moment I switched it on.
Turns volume up to max no matter what (you) want,, turning down only turns it up,, maximum customer frustration. A friend had one with the same fault so I wasn't even tempted to exchange unit. Cheap,, and nasty, its a sure way to kill repeat business and credibility.

Stay away from this brand and model. Thought I was getting an affordable radio that would do the job, but after limping past the warranty period, it's now no better than a paperweight. The powercord is poor quality and the socket itself wobbles around, causing the radio to turn off intermittently/not turn on at all; won't operate with batteries (tried old, new, rechargable); and when it did work, it didn't reliably pick up or retain stations.

Avoid.

The initial setup of preset stations was a bit too complex, and even with 10 fm and 10 dab presets, getting onto the station you want takes longer than it should.
Dab reception is too sensitive to location, weather, etc, and the many obscure interest digital stations really should not be internet only.
And alkaline batteries don't seem to last long.

I have this radio connected to a pair of powered computer speakers by using the Headphone Out Socket. Used this way it produces quite good results. The reception has always been good and I have never experienced any issues with fading. It is always connected via mains electricity so I can't comment on its operation when used with batteries. It is quite easy to operate and programme the stations.
A reasonable performer for the price

This radio fades in and out at times. The batteries last a few hours and that is it. The electrical cord is a poor fit and therefore at times will just stop working. I was happier with my radio from the early 80s. Do not waste your time or your money.

I have been defrauded twice by Bush with the BR25DAB. I thought maybe the first time was my fault. The product does not meet my expectations. It does not run on new batteries or cable. I recommend all consumers to stay away from Bush products until they get their QA/QC (maybe HSE for the consumers) problems sorted out. The second radio was treated like a baby and lasted about 2 weeks. Stay away. Gordon

This radio, model BR25DAB, consumes power when turned off. A new set of batteries will be flat within a week even if you don't use the radio much. Bush know about this and their best advice is to take out the batteries when not using it!! They would not accept that this is unsatisfactory for a portable radio.
In my opinion this is a faulty design and not fit for it's intended purpose. It should never have been sold.
I will be getting a refund and purchasing another brand as the Bush engineering design and Customer Service was so poor.
