Digital camera reviews of Sangean H201 AM/FM Digital Shower Radio
Digital camera Review: Best ever shower radio!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this to replace a Sony shower radio I've had for years. I was amazed at the difference in quality. The sound is superb, it sounds like you have a component hifi in the bathroom. I use it mostly, but not only, to listen to the news, and the voice quality is amazingly clear. The volume can be set very loud with no distortion. One great little feature that is not described well in the listing is that the FM antenna in the back swings around to become a beautiful and very solid semi-circular handle for the radio, so you can carry it around the house very easily. FM reception is outstanding, AM so-so, but that's inevitable and due to my location.Digital camera Review: Best quality you can find; solid and built to last a lifetime
Summary: 5 Stars
The first thing I noticed when this arrived was how solidly it was packaged, and then how solid and slick the plastic is. It is compact, but for it's size it was far heavier than I expected. Most electronics today are flimsy, and this it definitely not flimsy. It reminded me how sturdy things used to be made; it wasn't long before I realized it was not overpriced at all. It feels like there is no hollow space inside, and it's light enough I mounted it onto the wall without concern to stud placement.
My 13 yr old told me this was her favorite Christmas gift last year (no joke). The sound quality is impeccable. I have never needed the antenna (soft wire type - stores neatly in the battery compartment); glad it doesn't have the chrome telescoping type that breaks off easily. Ours is mounted in the center of the house, and we haven't taken the antenna out; I'm happy it's out of sight. It looks very modern and upscale.
I am frankly amazed how long the batteries last; the (2) D-size batteries last 7 months, and that's with at least 1-hour per day usage (loud); I am underestimating as we actually use it a lot more than that. We use it at the park, lake, on picnics, while gardening, in the garage, on the patio, camping, track meets etc.
I think the only feature they should have included is an alarm clock. The siren/alert is very loud (for safety), and it would have been a very effective sound for an alarm clock. Since they included a sleep timer it would be a selling point. The bright built-in flashlight is also a nice bonus for this radio. I always know if the power goes out all the flashlights in the house will be lost or dead, so this is what I intend to use in an emergency. It is a thoughtful safety feature.
At first I felt this was a bit pricey, but I challenge you to find a model with comparable features at this level of quality; this is the most solid piece of electronics I have owned in all my life, no exaggeration. This is worth every penny, and more. I was a Sony loyalist, but today I am searching for other Sangean products. I am hopeful they sell an alarm clock.
Hey if it makes a teenage girl happy, it's got to be great, right?
Digital camera Review: Best shower radio I have owned
Summary: 5 Stars
Very well made, definitely waterproof, batteries (D type) last a long time (at 66% after 8 months), excellent sound quality, buttons are solid and easy to press, very good radio signal (the external antenna definitely helps here).
Basically, the best shower radio I have owned, and I have owned a few! Better, and cheaper, than the old Sharper Image CD/Radio.
Digital camera Review: Best shower radio ever
Summary: 5 Stars
After owning several inexpensive shower readios over the past 10 years, I finally decided that I could no longer deal with poor reception and performance. I am thrilled with this radio. Not only is it nice in appearance, it delivers. In both power, and reception, this radio pulls in stations I can not even pick up on my home audio system. Easy install, easy operation. Could not be happier with my selection.Digital camera Review: Best shower radio ever built!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this radio for a few weeks now. I live in a rural area and my shower is in the basement. This is the only shower radio I have owned with decent AM reception in the basement(I'm a talk radio junkie). The FM reception is also superb. The wire FM antenna is a little unique but works quite well. Everything about this radio from the construction, buttons, and sound quality is second to none.
