I've owned this radio for over a year and it is just such a part of my daily routine that I would really miss it if it were gone. Anyhow.this radio has performed flawlessly.
It is not a battery hog. I can't think of reception issues and it is plenty loud and easy to read.
I looked around at cheaper shower radios and also looked at the high-end offerings. Choose to listen to an early AM talk show or get traffic or just anything to get your brain going.
I'm very satisfied. This was the perfect price point of top quality.
Set your favorite stations on one band and set another person's favorites on another.
Works perfectly, batteries last a good long while. My husband HAS to have some form of media entertainment while in the shower. My husband is NOT a happy camper. However, you won't get TV on it anymore thanks to the switch to digital. I don't know if he had a bad experience in the shower as a child or what, but apparently there needs to be noise of some sort. This fit the bill perfectly, that is, until roughly a month ago.
She keeps it outside the shower to help keep any water from ruining it. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a good quality shower radio. Got this for my girlfriend and she loves it. She's had it for a little over a year now, and it is working great.
and I have much less problem with location of the unit.Sound Quality--Again the Sony is far superior to any of my previous radios. I've used shower radios on a daily basis for many years in several locations as we've moved around the country. After 3 months experience, I am far happier with this radio than any of the previous ones.
Not a problem in my case since I have a shelf on which to place it, But I'd be concerned with trying to support it via suction cups.Location of the buttons-- They are all on top. This could be somewhat inconvenient if you hang the radio from the showerhead. Things to consider Size/weight---The radio is large for a shower radio and is not lite. The Sony's display is large enough to see clearly, and gives you both the time and station.Push buttons for on and off and band--- quite convenient, not having to turn the volume knob to turn on or off makes start up a "one touch" operation.
We currently live in mountainous country, a good distance from a metro center, so signal strength is not the best. Now that I've grown accustomed to it, I don't think I ever want go back to changing stations in the shower with the old knob & dial radios, especially with weak signals.Digital display--- In the shower without glasses, reading the dial on previous radios was not easy. Over this period, I have had several different models and and quality levels of the radios. I can understand what is coming out of the speaker without having to have the radio within 2 feet of my ear.There are several other features that I have grown to love:Push button tuning-- I have 3 or 4 favorites and with the buttons it is much easier to switch between them.
My selection of stations is much improved, both AM and FM. The most important criteria to me are: Tuner capability-- The Sony by far surpasses all previous radios in this regard. To pull in most stations, previous radios had to have fully charged batteries, and be positioned in exactly the right place.
I'd recommend it to anyone for a great shower radio. Its easy to use. It was a wonderful wedding present - one of our favorites for sure. It works and it is one of the only shower radios out there these days. The stations come in quite well and we keep ours IN the shower with us.
