Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Stylish design, clean features and station reception to rival any other. Meeting water proofing standards that are equal to marine radios. Look, listen, and try for yourself.

Works like a charm. The handle is really strong and I like the way it ratchets up. They really thought of everything a user would think of.

I purchased this radio for use in one location, the shower. We purchased the radio on January 2008, and the first set of batteries are finally wearing out, over a year and a half later (it takes two D-cell batteries).
I gave the radio five stars as it has great reception, good sound quality, it is easy to use, well designed, and is very high quality.
The only issue I have had with the radio is the grille. I had to move the radio to the far wall of the shower, as the grille would fill with water, and then I would have to blow or wipe the water out to hear the radio again. I bought some more double-sided tape and moved it, and have not had any problems since. Granted, the first location was poorly chosen, I put it righ underneath the shower head, but I do believe the grille could be designed a little better to shed water.
That criticism aside, this is an excellent radio. The double-sided tape holds it securely to the tile wall in the shower. The FM radio comes in very well, even with the antenna/handle in the stowed position. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a great radio to wake up to in the morning.

This radio has one of the best sounds I have ever heard in a portable radio. I would recommend it highly, especially for larger bathrooms or just larger rooms because the sound is very sufficient and no tinny sounds.

This is a very sturdy and well-made shower radio. Having the LED display is great along with the pre-set station buttons. I would definitely recommend this radio.

I have owned this radio for a month and half now and I have nothing but praise for it!
Pros -->
1. The sound quality is so clear and sharp. The best thing for me is that it captures and holds every station which I select. I mention this because every other shower radio that I've owned in the past 30+ years has failed to do this. I must add that those other shower radios were in the $15.00 - $40.00 price range so I don't have an "expensive" shower radio to compare with. I haven't had a need to utilize the FM wire antenna where it was a must with all of the other shower radios I've owned.
2. The Form Factor is the final attribute that had me selecting this radio over the Sony ICFS79W AM/FM/Weather Band Digital Tuner Shower Radio. With the Sangean, I can hang it over the pipe that the shower head is attached to (with the supplied strap). There are other ways to hang this unit up - a bracket plus other items come with it. The controls are on the FACE of the unit whereas the Sony has them on the top. I'm not that tall so being able to easily access ALL of the controls on the face was exactly what I needed. Much more convenient.
3. The display which can show Volume Level (which gets pretty loud), Radio Station Call Numbers and/or the Time etc. is of a reasonably size. The other shower radios seem to have a smaller display and the Sangean is also backlit when pressing various buttons. ALL buttons are responsive and react IMMEDIATELY to your touch.
4. For some reason when researching this radio, I was not aware that it is Waterproof (not just water resistant). Apparently, it's so waterproof that it is supposed to Float! I have not confirmed this feature (and probably won't). ;O)
5. It also comes with a built-in flashlight. I may never use this but others who take this radio on their boat or camping etc. may find it useful. If nothing else, it will be an emergency backup flashlight that I can use (at least I'll always know where it's at!). Also has an emergency buzzer (siren??) but I haven't tested that out.
6. It's too early to comment on battery life but if the other reviews are accurate then it will be another year before I have to replace them... (there is a built-in battery power indicator so you can keep an eye on it).
7. Setup was a breeze. Quick and easy.
--> Bottom line - Well Made, Great Sound! I'm really happy that I spent the extra money - as the saying goes "you get what you pay for." To me, this is the best shower radio out there. Don't hesitate to purchase this shower radio... you won't be sorry!
Cons -->
None.
Wish List -->
The only other feature that I would have liked to have would be RDS (Radio Data Services: Artist & Song Title info) readout on the display. Maybe the next version will have it.....
