Digital camera reviews of Sony ICFS79W AM/FM/Weather Band Digital Tuner Shower Radio (White)
Digital camera Review: Good features, marginal sound quality
Summary: 4 Stars
All the features you want are here to enjoy.
The only problem is that the sound quality could be better, probably by inserting sound absorbing material inside the radio. You cannot open it (if you want to add this material) because the case parts are glued together for the "Splash Resistant" feature.
Digital camera Review: Good product
Summary: 4 Stars
Good product so far. This radio has held it's own. Battery life has been good and it appears durable. I would like to see the price lower, but I guess you get what you pay for. I would recommend it.Digital camera Review: Good quality
Summary: 4 Stars
This Sony replaced a Sharper Image shower radio that din't last very long and had poor reception. Although the Sony is on the pricy side, we found it to have good quality sound and no AM FM reception problems. It's easy to use, large visual clock and fits perfectly on shower ledge. Very happy with it.Digital camera Review: Good, not great.
Summary: 3 Stars
This sony radio is a good shower radio and clock. It has an external antenna that suction cups to the wall.
There are a few parts of this design to note that make this a good product, not a great one. First, the radio has a strap that clips on the back and while hanging, it does not lay completely flat. Second, it takes C batteries and three of them. They are generally sold in packs on two or four and they are not included. Third, the buttons are on top. Style-wise this is a good decision, but because the radio needs to be high enough to see the clock, it makes it more difficult to see the buttons. There is a sleep timer built in to the on button. It would be great if I did not have to push the button five times to get the radio to turn off after 10 minutes. Lastly the volume control; it is well designed and simple to grip, but has only one purpose, unlike all the other pieces on the radio. It stands out as odd.
I wish there were another sleeker option for a clock radio for the shower, but until this one breaks it is good not great.
Digital camera Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this product based on the positive reviews and have to say we have been very happy with it. Purchased it several months ago and use it a minimum of 45 minutes per day. Still on the first set of batteries. Great radio, good sound quality, nice features.
