Works as advertised

I am VERY happy with this product. I don't use it in the shower, I keep it on the sink. He gets wet, of course, and that doesn't seem to affect his performance. The only possible downside is that my batteries didn't last long in this radio and one of the batteries became corroded after a while. I'm not sure if it was the battery or the radio. Most likely it was the batteries as my new batteries haven't had such problems yet. Good reception given the product. The volume is loud enough to hear in

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Is there anything I can add

Great shower radio for compact radios and stereo systems

It's big, clumsy and expensive, but as a shower radio it's great. Good reception on most radios (can't pick up my country but can't get it on about 50% of the radios I try). Lots of great features like presets, clock (it's on even when the radio is off) and digital tuning. It can be very loud without losing quality. It creaks a little when you turn it on, but it's hardly noticeable. And I mean LOUD, which you might not even do. We've tried quite a few shower radios and this is by far the kingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Something different

Worth the extra money

Bought this a few weeks ago to replace my old GPX CD player in the shower and am very happy with it. The sound quality is excellent given the nature of the device, but what's really good are the controls. The volume and tuning/track controls have a very nice feel and are easy to adjust with wet hands. And the minimalistic rubberized buttons on the front ensure a clean look and usability. The only thing that really worries me is that it takes an unusually long time for a CD to start playing andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • nothing

first ok, but.

The thing worked fine initially (but by no means an exceptional product, just ok). This was my first shower CD player purchase and I think there are no good products at all when this mediocre thing is so expensive. The problem is that after a few months the display stopped working. And today (a few months later) the fastener that closes the lid of the CD is so rusted that it has come off completely. I don't even change CDs that often, I've opened and closed the thing at least 10 times in theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Only available in black

Best shower radio I have ever known

I was looking for a good shower radio and came across this product. I put it off for months because I didn't need it, but ended up buying it as a Christmas present. I'm not disappointed. I've had it for almost 5 months now and the batteries are still good and I listen to it for hours most days - in the shower, in the bath and while cleaning the house. The stations are doing very well and I like that I can program some of them because it's quick and easy to switch from the news to the morningโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Works well - compact radios and stereos

I really like this radio. The main thing is that it is well received. I read many reviews of other shower radios before deciding on this one and they all had one common problem: poor reception. It has better reception than my other radios. I wasn't thrilled with having to buy 4 D batteries to power this radio because I like using rechargeable batteries and you can't just buy D rechargeable batteries because they don't exist. was of no use. However, it's been 3 months now and there are no signsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
