The Sony Shower Mate radio may just be the ideal early-morning companion: it only plays what you want, when you want, for as long as you want. This splash-resistant TV/Weather/AM/FM synthesized radio offers five preset buttons for programming in your favorite stations, a 90-minute timer with five timer presets (great for kitchen use), and an auto-off function. The large, raised buttons that top the unit are labeled clearly for bleary-eyed mornings, and the volume control has raised grips so that it can be manipulated when fingers are wet and slippery. The Shower Mate is oval-shaped with a flat top and bottom, and is constructed of tough, white plastic. Although it's intended to be used near water, the radio shouldn't be submerged--or even subjected to the stream of a shower. Comes with a strap for hanging and a suction cup for positioning a wire antenna. Requires three C batteries for operation.

I'm so happy that I got this radio - the sound is great. I had a radio from Bath, Bed, and Beyond that the cd stopped working after a year, and then the radio went after about 2 years of working. The sound was never as good as the Sony radio.
An excellent product from an excellent company June 25, 2008

Works great, after one month June 25, 2008

First, I bought this from BuyAccessories, I think because they were the cheapest overall. It arrived as the best packed item I have ever received. You know how Amazon stuff usually comes with the item on the bottom of the box and soft packing material piled on top - so no padding is on the bottom? Well, this item arrived in a box totally and evenly surrounded by foam peanuts/packing. How nice, a packing job that actually protects the item! Second, I've only had it for one month but it is great. Easy to operate. Nice hang strap. Gets all the stations I want, as long as the antenna is up in its cool little mounting suction cup. The weather band/station is not clear enough to hear, but I did not buy it for that. Every FM and AM station gives the weather every 15 minutes anyway. Overall, great reception for being inside a shower, inside a bathroom, inside a house. Oh and I LOVE the auto-off timer.

We have had this radio for two years. We use it in the shower. It usually doesn't get water directly on it from the showerhead... but has occasionally. It does frequently get splashed and certainly spends most of the time in a very high humidity environment. The battery life is excellent... we have yet to change the batteries! The radio reception for AM and FM is better than other larger radios that we have in the house. The volume range is good and it gets very loud for its size with minimal distortion. Overall we are very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it to someone looking for a quality shower radio... we are even thinking about getting another one to use outside the shower because I frequently "steal" it out of the shower and bring it all sorts of places such as out on the deck or to the kitchen! Great radio.
