Unfortunate purchase. Worst radio I have ever owned........2003-01-02

The signal rejection is horrible. That is to say, I set it to my favorite NPR station and another station 11.5MHz higher booms over it. I did this experiment right next to my Sangean clock radio, and I also tried the (Great) GE 7-2887 Portable radio. The non-Philips units worked perfectly, so it wasn't some anomaly wth the ionosphere (unfortunately, they aren't water proof, and make no claims to be). So I opened the back up (where the battery compartment is) to have a look around. Although the batteries themselves were dry (there is separate seal for them) the screws that hold the radio together were rusted. I bought this unit in November and it's rusting--this in a product built for use in the shower... So, buy it if you want to hear multiple stations at once, and don't get it near water.

I bought the Philips Shower Radio from J&R Music.

Being a shower radio, I didn't really expect it to produce a really good sound. I was pleasantly surprised and disappointed with the audio quality. The sound is lound and audible even with the shower running. Unfortunately, the sound is also very hollow and it took about a week to get used to it.

The AM reception is excellent in the NYC/Jersey metro area.

I had a slight problem trying to house the antenna tail into the battery compartment and worried that water might leak in. To date, I have experienced no problems.

The major drawback of this product though is the power button. I don't get the sense that I'm actually pressing the button. One must rely on one's ear and not on sense.

A minor nusiance is that Philips does not publish the instruction manual online, forcing me to store the print instruction manual.

For the price this can't be beat!.......2002-01-07

We just moved into an older home which has few electrical outlets- especially in the bathroom. Morning showers were not the same without music, so I wanted to buy something that was water resistant (and inexpensive!). This product really was a great choice. For the size, the sound quality was really very good. The unit itself comes equipped with a pig-tail antennae, but I did not even need it. The radio is kind of a weird chunky shape, but that is not a problem. The control buttons are encased in plastic, so if you want to change a station with wet hands, no problem! What I found as an added bonus was the built in clock. ( I also found out my husband was right, I do take 30 minute showers!!). If you decide to go with this radio, you will not be disappointed! Battery life is really good also!

i think this radio is verry ugly and the quality of the sound is not as good as i thought it would be. Thats why i rated this 1 star.

Makes a great gift.......2000-06-21

This is a great product to give as a gift for those people that have everything. It is a great way listen to the radio when taking a shower. Look at the price, its very reasonable so I have given a couple to those in my family which are hard to buy for. My mom loved it for Mother Days instead of flowers.
