Review on 🚿 Sangean H201 Portable AM/FM/Weather Alert Digital Tuning Waterproof Shower Radio White - Never Miss a Beat, Even in the Shower! by Thanaporn Amphaiwora ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is average, Im not sure its worth the money.

I purchased a Sangean radio receiver of the same series only with Blueetooth, it has a slightly different h202 index, but this is the same receiver, only the edging is blue rubber, not orange, there are no other external differences. I ordered in America, at a price with delivery it turned out the same as in 2022, but already with bluetooth. There is also a receiver model of this h203 series with digital channels, but it is not for sale even in the states. Batteries (2 pcs) from Ikea alkaline LR20 lasted a year. The radio played daily for about an hour or two in the bathroom. I didn’t water it with a hose, but it definitely survives daily hot, wet fogging (at the wall mirror, the amalgam began to crumble around the edges). Plus, we used bluetooth a little (of course, he basically dropped the batteries). The Americans cheated and did not include a gift AC adapter in the package (it is also waterproof). Please note that the US plugs are different and the mains voltage is 110 volts - therefore, if the power adapter is transformer (heavy), it can easily disable the radio. If the adapter is pulsed on field-effect transistors (light), then it should automatically supply the required 3v to 500mA. The output voltage on the adapter is checked by a tester, maybe it won’t work here - the risk that the Radio will burn out is very high. I believe that with such a power consumption, a network adapter is basically not needed. The station grid is tuned in steps FM - 0.1 MHz, AM - 10kHZ. Range FM 87.5 MHz - 108 MHz, AM 520 kHZ - 1710 kHZ. All 2022 stations in St. Petersburg tuned in without problems, even without pulling out additional antenna wiring. The radio comes with a strap that can be stuck on double-sided tape. The radio can be easily removed from this bar and you can take it with you. A huge minus is reliability, alas, it failed, because. 6 years was the limit for him.

Pros
  • Confident reception of stations in the bathroom. Good sound. Long battery life.
Cons
  • Stations and time are reset if the batteries are removed. Downgraded my original rating by 2 stars. after 6 years of work, the control panel began to fail. Those. you press the volume up, and the station switches, the effect is constant, but after a few presses you can achieve the desired function.
