Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-S79V Weather Band Shower Radio
Digital camera Review: Good sound but not long lasting
Summary: 3 Stars
Just tossed my third Sony shower radio----lasts between one and two years with daily use. Good sound for sure but I'm done with this concept; somehow shower steam and electronics just don't make senseDigital camera Review: Singing in the rain...
Summary: 4 Stars
First impressions: felt durable right out of the box with some decent instructions. The radio "feels" waterproof, or as the product description says "water resistant." Put some batteries (not included) in it and hung it up. The antenna is a little unsightly, but hey, it's in a shower. The acoustics in my shower are pretty bad, so the weather channel is pretty much useless because I can't make out what is being reported.
After a few weeks: Radio is a great addition to my morning shower before work. Sound is good and I even noticed that you can listen to local TV station audio, so I have the news on a good bit. Batteries seem to be hanging in there nicely.
Why 4 stars (not 5): It's a shower radio that at $50 is a little expensive.
Described in 5 Phrases: waterproof, sounds good, a little expensive, great start to the day, heavy
Digital camera Review: How to use the weather band?
Summary: 5 Stars
This radio works great in shower. But I have problem with the weather band. I live in Los Angeles. I switched the weather band channels from 1 to 5 and heard nothing but static. Is the weather band receiver of SONY ICF-S79V supposed to hear anything? Any suggestions are welcome!Digital camera Review: great radio... we love the TV and weather bands
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this for the bathroom. It has good reception, buttons to program in your favorite stations and weather and TV bands, too.Digital camera Review: It is great
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
