A Reluctant Repeat Customer
Why would I write a review on such an old product? I bought one of these many years ago and it died. I've been searching on and off for a replacement and I still haven't found a suitable replacement. Since it looks like I'm going to get another one of these, it occurred to me that I might be able... Read full review »
Great Product
Twelve years ago I found myself wandering around downtown Chicago. My wife was delivering a paper at a scientific conference and I was wasting time until it was time to go and hear her. I wandered into one of the boutique type electronic store and spied a Sony shower radio. I thought it was... Read full review »
Don't waste $$ on the cheapos!
After trying 2 cheap shower radio models, I wish I had just gone after this one from the beginning. I forget the first brand but it was an analog (dial tuner) am/fm and it had a mirror for shaving. I liked the mirror, but avoid the dial tuner at all costs, they are way too hard to fine tune and the... Read full review »

When I was looking for a good radio, the Sony shower radio was the only one I could find any that combined the same durability, ease of use and terrific performance as my parents'...

Looks good- but doesn't last
I love this item- however- I feel that being Sony brand and costing what it does, should last a long time. Instead, the buttons get cracked over time on top, water seeps in, and then it no longer works. It worked great for 3 years- but now it's dead and I know that others have had the same problem...

Poor material, limited life
Ignore the previous reviews - obviously written by Sony employees.
My wife bought 2 of these - one for each of our showers (yes, we have our own bathrooms - it's a territorial thing).
Within 6 months, the buttons on top surface have completely worn through on both radios.
We no...
