/ 07 / 2003 This week l ordered from argos a 32 inch bush wide screen television
- it was delivered to my home 3 days later and instantly on looking into the box
l knew that it was duff. The polystyrene was completely broken and the set has
been shaken around so much that the actual guts of the tv were rattling around
inside the set - had l plugged it in l fear l would have been electrocuted - contacted
argos who told me they will send a replacement - the replacement l shall check
first before l let the delivery guys go. Beware - Bush do not even have a website
or any email address to contact - cheap yes! serviceable? No!. If anybody out
there in internet land has a contact address for bush please let me know
- thanks a lot. User Rating - 
Jaggabongo, Brighton Posted on 27 / 04 / 2003 I got this Bush
Video recorder from my local Tesco store as it was only £79.99, which I
felt was very cheap seeing as it was a nicam videoplus recorder. Videoplus means
you can pre program the recorder to record tv programs when they start and finish
which is great if you are going out while you are recording. I have had the machine
for over 2 weeks and there doesn't seem to be any mechanical programs, you could
probably get a better quality recorder from makes such as Sony but not for eighty
quid. Ideal if you are buying on a low budget like me. User Rating - 
Phil Evans, Salisbury Posted on 26 / 05 / 2003 I have had 2 Bush
28 inch widescreen televisions and they have both broken in record time - they
seem to have a dodgy cathode ray tube in them and I''m very unimpressed. I paid
250 quid and they are rubbish - i've had old televisions last for 15 years plus
but these don't make it past 15 weeks. Hopefully when I get the replacement television
from Bush it will have solved the problem or maybe next time I should buy a television
from a better make such as Sony or Panasonic and just not try to save money. User

Posted on 06 / 08 / 2003 Ref Nos 376A2430 BJ312YL. Moulding/assy No 060
360 deg cordless filter kettle. This Bush kettle was won in a raffle about 3 yrs
ago. It failed at a critical moment - when I wanted a cup of tea! Cause of failure
was burnt out Lucar connections on the heating element. A loose screw was also
found inside on disassembly. It appears that a product reliability assessment
is needed for the internal electrical connections. Other than the above faults
the product was average to good. User Rating - 
Evans, Gravesend, Kent Posted on 04 / 03 / 2005 My set has just
broken. I don't know what the fault is as I have yet to call an engineer. Up to
now I have had three years of good service from this TV which has a great picture
and good surround sound.There are other features such as on screen info. Despite
the demise of ITV Digital this set still receives all the free to air digital
channels. I have read other reviews regarding the 669OD most are good but some
give the set a good slating which is fair enough as it is not top of the range,
if you wanted top of the range you wouldn't think of Bush automatically. If anyone
knows if these sets are still available I would like to know as if I can't get
mine repaired I'll not hesitate to buy another. User Rating -

All I can say about a bush tv is don't touch one. Cheap yes but you'll
see why when they break down after several months. We have had three and the longest
one has lasted is 14 months. To add to this they can cause major interference
to other electrical products in the home. Ours even set off our car alarm. we
contacted bush but they were not interested. We are now attemting to sue the store
or bush for faulty goods. I am not certain but I have been told several goodmans
and alba tv's are the same as the bush but just badged differently. User
- john leighton Posted on 03 / 01 / 2006 Bush 28" TV from Argos
The picture on mine warped beyond the size of the tv (horizontal control's
gone) shortly after the 12 month warranty expired. TV repair man said to scrap
it as the whole thing is powered by a select number of chips that only Bush can
supply making them highly expensive. Argos are now doing a widescreen 24\"
version for £99 - a waste of money. User Rating -

Babs Ibitoye Posted on 31 / 07 / 2006 Bush model - lcd television I
bought a small set less than 2 years ago and the picture has gone already. I did
not get the guarantee for 3 years as I expected the product to last at least that
long, MINIMUM. sO, AT £350 THEN, THAT WAS FAR FROM VALUE FOR MONEY. User

on 31 / 06 / 2006 Bush model - lcd television We have 2 Bush LCD26tv006hdx
in our household which have suddenly stopped working just after the 1 year guarantee
ran out. They may be cheap for lcd tv's but at £300 each it is still a lot
of money to pay for 1 year of use.

Bush model - lcd television
WE had one that lasted 12 months it packed in and it was replaced
with a new one because the cost to repair it was to much. The replacement
has lasted only 13 months and that was with only 8 months of use
because we had it in storage for 5 months because we moved house.
