Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-S79V Weather Band Shower Radio

Digital camera Review: Best possible shower radio
Summary: 5 Stars

We bought this radio over 2 years ago and it is still working perfectly. It gets great reception. I like the fact that it has a clock and the capacity to preset several radio stations into memory (I like news, the wife likes music). It has surpising good sound for such a little radio.

Summary: 5 Stars

I've finally found one with a good antenna, digital tuning, and easy-to-use features. Five stars!

Digital camera Review: Best shower radio I've had
Summary: 5 Stars

I had one of these for 5 years. It finally died, only because the button covering wore thin from use and water got into where it wasn't suppose to. The batteries last a really long time and the timer is crucial! Other radios that don't have this feature run through batteries quickly.

I bought a fancy CD radio from Sharper Image and it totally sucks. The batteries last about a week or two and it doesn't have a timer. What it does have is a sleep alarm that you can accidently hit and have go off in the middle of the night.

I'm returning my Sharper Image radio and buying another Sony. Best $50 bucks I've ever spent. With the weather radio feature it can really come in handy.


Digital camera Review: Best shower radio I've had
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the best shower radio I have ever had. The reception is great (very clear), the digital tuner is a must, and it fits nicely in the shower. I have no problem finding radio stations, and you can save up to 10 preset stations. There are a couple of drawbacks...as far as TV channels, only able to get reception on channels 9 and 11. And, don't get very clear reception for the weather band. Other than that - I really like it and would recommend it.

Digital camera Review: Best shower radio ever
Summary: 5 Stars

I owned a Sharper Image shower radio (the kind with suction cups that sticks to the shower wall) for years until it died on me, and thought the poor sound quality is the price you pay for a waterproof radio. I'm so sorry I didn't buy the Sony sooner! The sound quality is tremendous. It isn't waterproof but I keep it on a shelf in the shower and it withstands regular spraying with water with no problem. I love the big preset selection (including local TV channels), the easy to use buttons and the timer that turns it off on its own. Great machine.
