Sony ICFS80.CE7 Splash Proof Shower Radio with Speaker, White

this is a great radio. It's stylish and compact so looks very tidy. It is easy to set 5 FM and also 5 AM channels which is great as my daughter and I like the pop music on FM while hubby presses a button to switch to his AM channels (usually Talk Sport) so everyone is happy. It's dead easy to use, the volume goes quite loud if you like it loud, and the battery is lasting well after more than a month of daily use during morning showers. I like the time display too.I would have preferred a black handle but as it can be moved to sit underneath the radio it is very discreet as radio is sat on a work surface in the bathroom rather than hanging from the shower as I want it to last and it appeared lots of direct splashing could reduce its shelf life so I didn't want to risk water damage, although the description indicates it would withstand this. Would strongly recommend this radio as it might be more expensive than other radios but you definitely get what you pay for. This is the second one I've bought so we have one in both bathrooms. Very impressive waterproof radio that runs on a single battery that lasts for ages.

After deciding to replace my old bathroom radio due to the tuning knob breaking off, I thought I would try out a DAB radio. I purchased a FM/DAB radio, similar to my old AM/FM set, this new one had integral rechargeable battery via a usb socket. All seemed good with the DAB until it stopped/turned off while I was having a bath of about 25 mins or so, the battery was flat. After charging the radio back up, I used it again, only to find it lasted not much longer than the previous time. I went on to charge it again but the mini usb socket was starting to wobble and not charge properly, I sent it back and got a refund. I looked into these, and other DAB radios and it would seem that they are very power hungry and last only a couple of hours if you are lucky, on normal batteries.So, I have now gone back to an am/fm set, purchased this Fab Sony FM/AM radio, usual very good Sony quality, nice sound and volume, easy to use, and looks like the batteries will easily last a year or two.The radio tunes into stations very well and I have found that I do not need to pull out the FM wire to get a good reception, all in all a very good radio for the bathroom, definitely a one to recommend.

I'm very happy with this Radio. I take long showers, and have had a tendency to 'kill' many an audio device, in an attempt to enjoy the company that having a radio in the bathroom affords. Based on the reviews and testimony of other users of this radio, I am confident that this one will serve me well. So far, I am very impressed. It's simple to set, simple to use, seems robustly built, and I can even read the time in the shower (w/o my glasses on) because the digital display is large enough. ☺ What's not to like?*I have only 1 proviso to offer. I live in Canada, and purchased the radio through Amazon.co.uk because, even after the shipping costs & custom/duties applied to purchasing it this way, is was 1/2 the cost it would have been to buy it from Amazon.ca, so I can't speak to whether or not my 1 slight difficulty with setting the radio has to do with radio settings specific to the UK or not. I have been unable to tune in to one of my favourite AM stations exactly. I can listen to it, but the tuner won't stay precisely on the station's ID no matter what I try, and as such, it's a bit gravelly.*This said, I am so grateful just to find a GOOD radio for the bathroom, and one that includes AM stations at all! I have no qualms in recommending this radio to anyone looking for a good, durable, water 'friendly' radio.

It does the job in a shower if you are careful. Mine slipped and fell, at which the battery burst open, exposing the innards directly to the streaming blast of water from the shower head. Batteries all over... Opps!Presumed DOA, it was removed sodden batteries binned and forgotten about all day. Out of interest I tried 3 fresh batteries in it in the evening and it burst into life. Pleasant very welcome surprise!It seems more resilient than it has right to be, but one note. Sony has bestowed the battery compartment with way over size pockets for the AA batteries(maybe an AA+ obese version is available soon?) and they can move around out of connection inside, making you think 'it's Dead Jim'.Some bluetack padding has kept our batteries snug and secure...Otherwise it's neat, compact and sounds OK, In a shower with the water streaming it's never going to be concert hall clarity sounds, is it?

This Sony showerproof radio is excellent. It is easy to set up, just took minutes to tune and set stations, and is very easy to use. The sound quality is great. I can't say how long batteries will last as I have only recently acquired it but other reviews mention that they last a long time. The radio is quite large and sturdy, and rather heavy once batteries are in place. I put mine on the ledge inside the shower, but it has a handle to loop over the shower fitting, or over a hook, and this seems strong . I had a cheaper radio before this one, but the quality of this is so much better, well worth the extra cost. A great purchase.

A very compact radio with good sound quality ideal for the bathroom. It is easy to set up, hanging behind the shower fixing and you can just let the aerial hang down; no fiddly adjustments. It takes the large 'C' batteries which gives it plenty of battery life. The sound is not affected by the water and condensation. Very pleased with this product!
