Rating: - the best ever
We have had several of these for years. In fact, my 83 year old mother has used hers so long she has worn the buttons through. She uses it on her kitchen table, and it's about the only radio she can manage with low vision. I had no idea this model was still available. We'll buy several for Christmas this year, so she can stay tuned to NPR for the rest of her life!
Rating:  - Sony S79W AM/FM/Weather Shower Radio - Great Performer In An Empty Field
The Sony ICFS79W AM/FM/Weather Band Digital Tuner Shower Radio is really well designed for its purpose. I spent a long time trying to find a shower radio that had more than just AM/FM, like a CD player for example. I eventually gave up that quest and gave this a try. Perhaps there are just too few options in radios designed for use in the shower.
Quite frankly, I am kicking myself in disbelief over this product. I was open minded but skeptical when I got this. The strong reception is really the best feature, and the weather band and auto on / off timers are nice extras.
This guy is probably a 5 star product for most people, but I do tend to be picky. For me, it would be almost perfect if not for a few cons. Still, it's hard to find alternatives so it's difficult to know if there is a better alternative.
PROS
+ Absolutely GREAT reception; it's actually really surprising how good it is
+ Nice simple controls that are mostly intuitive
+ Nice extras, like the Weather band
+ Convenient timer to get you going
+ Nice Auto-Off feature for easy morning operation
CONS
- Analog volume adjustment provides little control at lower volumes
- Still requires large C batteries, that are less convenient than AA when using rechargeables
- List price is quite high
- Wire Antenna is difficult to stick up and often comes loose
- Weather band has more static than AM or FM

Rating: - Works great
The radio was very easy to use out of the box and so far it works great. Preset stations allow to find what one wants quickly, while humidity or a bit of wetness is not a worry. Volume can be easily turned up high enough to hear the radio over the sound of water. The unit is small and light allowing, if desired, to be effortlessly taken to other rooms or on a trip. The reception is clear without attaching the included FM antenna to the wall. Thus far, I would make the same choice again.
Rating: - Sony Shower Radio
Great product. Lots of options that all work just fine. The radio sounds good, and the weather channel is an innovative plus. Highly recommended.
Rating: - Fabulous Shower Radio
Excellent shower radio. Preset stations, large buttons (good for when soap is in your eyes). Great sound. Weather radio is perfect for us sailing junkies, you can listen to marine reports while still in the shower. Easy to decide whether to go golfing, windsurfing, or to work. Stands on it's own, so also good for camping & travelling. Never need to worry about it getting wet.
