Review on πŸ“» Sony ICF-S80 AM/FM Radio Receiver by Ada Freya ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, good quality, not bad.

I found only 2 models of bathroom radios on the market, these are Sony ICF-S80 and Sangean H-201 (it costs 2 times more). I settled on Sony. What I didn’t like. Batteries of the β€œC or R14” format, so as not to buy batteries every time, and β€œC” batteries and a good charger for them are expensive, having a good La Crosse smart charger for β€œAA” batteries, and batteries of size " AA" "Eneloop" immediately ordered adapters for "AA" to "C" batteries on the Internet and solved the battery problem. The radio sounds loud, the assembly and quality of the plastic is on top. I didn’t like that after each shutdown, the shutdown timer does not save its values ​​​​(In the shower or when you shave, on average, you spend 10 - 20 minutes) once set and the receiver turns off by itself, and then every time you need to re-set the value, on the Sangean H-201 timer shutdown retains its value. In everything else, only PLUSES.

Pros
  • Quality of plastic, assembly and water resistance
Cons
  • "C" size batteries
