Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-S79V Weather Band Shower Radio
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. Digital camera Review: An excellent product from an excellent company
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is awesome and i would definitely purchase a sony product in the future. i really enjoy listening to the high quality music from this radio as i shower. great buy!!!! this would also make a great gift. TRULY WELL-MADE PRODUCT. Digital camera Review: Works great, after one month
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Top Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
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. Digital camera Review: Very Good Audio, But....
Summary: 3 Stars
PROS: Good audio, easy to program, good features.
CONS:
However, the FCC will require broadcasters to switch to a digital format in February 2009. At that time, the radio WILL NO LONGERr receive televison broadcast audio. Therefore, a good percentage of the radio's value is gone!
Nationwide, the FCC has reserved 10 weather channel frequencies available. Usually all 10 can't be received. This radio only has 5 channels for weather. In my case, none of those 5 channels contains any weather signals.
