    Ordered but Argos have double-billed me somehow!



    Double check your order history, if it’s only showing 1 item then the other may be a “ghost order” and the money should be restored within 2-3 days as it’s stuck in your banks ‘pending transactions’.

    At least, that’s what I’ve been told by staff I know inthe past.

    Well you could if available, I'm just saying for the price it's a bargain


    How can it be a bargain when it fails it's primary function of playing CDs reliable, read the feedback on the Argos website.
    So when you buy something with a known fault that will end up as a big plastic FM radio it cannot be described as a bargain.
    I have some light bulbs that no longer work properly, all 10 of them are yours for £2, what a bargain.

    Would have been tempted if it was a DAB.

    Any good for a building site it would save ££££'s on a Makita site radio.

That does annoy me with some things on Argos site though - that the information can be so contradictory. The blurb in the product description states Bluetooth and one of the images shows the mode selection switch which has BT on it - I'm assuming that means Bluetooth.[Image] But then you reference the Q&A response from 'Bush Technical Support' which mentions the need for a Bluetooth connector. In terms of aux, I see there is a headphone jack so it will output with an aux 3.5mm audio cable.

    So much hate for this!

    I reserved one and picked it up today! It’s absolutely mint, seriously! For a fiver, what more do you want?

    Yes batteries are expensive; run it off the electric!

    YES it does have Bluetooth connectivity; mine works perfectly, connected to my phone immediately and stayed connected!

    Yes this also plays CDs!

    This also has a built in FM radio!

    Finally it has some funky lights - you can change the settings and colours!

    I absolutely love this - best fiver I’ve spent in a long time Obviously it won’t compare to a £200 unit from JBL, but this isn’t a £200 piece of kit - it’s a fiver!

    I can’t believe the hate for it either. A Bluetooth speaker with the added bonus of a radio and CD player. Yes it may only be 2w but it’s a fiver fs

    You'll get a nosebleed on that high horse. I was just saying for kids it seemed like a bargain, not all reviews are 100% reliable and you can always get a refund.

    I’m really pleased with mine too.All the professional wingers need to naff of with their negativity!! What do you want for a fiver?? It’s brilliant for that price.They would probably still moan if it was free !!

    I agree 2w is poor. You can't play audio CD's on your phone though (yes, some people still listen to CD's). It looks like this has Bluetooth so could connect an external speaker to it or via the aux.

    It says iPod compatible, does that include other MP3 players/phones etc?


    It's got an aux in so as long as your phone/device has got a 3.5mm headphone jack, then yes it will work.

    And if you have two kids lock them on different stations or seal it with two different CD's in them.
