Love it!

"I like listening to the news/weather while I get ready for work in the morning, and this is the best shower radio I have ever owned. I live in a rural area but still get crisp, crystal clear reception on Am and FM stations. I have had this radio for almost 10 years now, and I was delighted to see that Sony still makes this model. The one I own still works but the outer covering on the off button has worn a bit, ..." Read Full Review »

Plastic Switch Covers Wear Through

"We were satisfied with this radio for the first 5 years. Unlike its Sony predecessor, the white plastic case did not yellow with time. However, The thin plastic material that seals moisture from the buttons on the top of the radio wears through with time. This could have been a quality radio except for cheap materials. Is nothing made to last any more?..." Read Full Review »
