Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-S79V Weather Band Shower Radio
Digital camera Review: Doesn't last long
Summary: 2 Stars
It's a real hassle entering the stations on this radio, and the sound isn't great. This radio lasted about 10 months. Then it stopped working and when I opened it up to change the batteries, there was corrosion all around the battery heads, and I threw it away.Digital camera Review: Don't want a CD player in the shower
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a convenient, good quality, inexpensive shower radio, perfect for someone who doesn't want to listen to CD's in the shower. No sense paying for a CD player that you never intend to use. The sound is good and the preset buttons and timer make this easy to use.Digital camera Review: Don't waste your money on the cheesy brands
Summary: 5 Stars
This radio is great. There are a couple of features I really enjoy; first are the preset buttons. No more spending 10 minutes trying to tune in low-signal NPR on a tiny dial using wet hands. Second is the auto shutoff timer feature. I've gone through many-a-battery by accidently leaving previous shower radios on all day. This radio is excellent; it sounds great and the features are well thought out without being confusing or overdone.Digital camera Review: Endearingly clunky
Summary: 5 Stars
Notice this unit was introduced two and a half years ago and still going strong which indicates to me people really like it and it holds up well. I've had mine about six months. It's got everything a radio should have and nothing it doesn't need, except maybe the digital clock. The knob on the right top is volume. The rest of the controls are push buttons on the top that include five presets for each of three bands. The buttons are under a protective rubber cover so no need to worry about humidity or splashes. It has an 18" antenna with a little suction cup at the end so you can hook it on a mirror. And it has a loop of twine on the back for carrying it around or for hanging it on a coat hook or something similar.
I find its clunkiness sort of endearing. The sound quality is all you could ask for, and the reception is excellent. So for what it is, it's probably as good as it gets.
Digital camera Review: Eureka! I found the perfect radio for the bathroom!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have suffered with poor reception and even wound the electrical cord behind the mirror in desperation to get better reception, etc.
This product had good reviews, so it was the perfect Fathers' Day gift. It works so well, takes little space, and has great reception.
Thanks!!!
