1 out of 5 stars UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THIS!.......2005-01-30

If it was at all possible I would give this contraption a rating of "0" stars. It worked well the first day, and then as stated in the other reviews promplty went of the fritz. Being an engineer I took it apart to find out if I could see what was wrong. The plastic casing was indeed not waterproof! There was no rubber lining to prevent water from entering and so it promptly shorted out. Not only that, the thing refused to turn off and picked up all sorts of random radio transmission. This piece of junk should be considered illegal for how poorly it works, correction, formerly worked.

1 out of 5 stars Piece of Garbage. . ........2004-02-04

. . . that's putting it nicely. The CD player - when it works - skips if you even so much as look at it. The sound quality is same as those tin-can string "telephones" that we used to make when we were kids. My expectations were pretty low when I ordered it because of the low price, but if I knew then what I know now of this product they couldn't give it to me.

1 out of 5 stars Tricky, but crappy.......2004-01-24

There's another product that looks *almost* like this, but also include a fog-free mirror, more CD features, and better sound quality. Go for that one instead!

1 out of 5 stars Wouldn't turn off!.......2004-01-22

This radio lasted 3 days in my shower. Then suddenly it just wouldn't turn off. Even though the power was supposedly turned off, it would suddenly emit noise. I finally had to remove the batteries...and return it to the store!

1 out of 5 stars If I had an option for NO stars.. i'd have picked it!!!.......2003-12-28

This item is a waste of money. I purchased this item last year and it survived in my shower all of one day. I returned it, got another, and it too died in one shower. I didn't even open the cd player.. I only wanted the radio part to listen to traffic reports before I left for work.

Apparently it's not waterproof. The electronics almost immediately went on the fritz as soon as water came within a two-foot radius of it. It was mounted on the wall in a place where it wouldn't get "soaked," and it still didn't make it through a complete shower without dogging out.

After the second loss, I gave up. Don't bother with this one. Its cheap price doesn't make it a great bargain, it just reflects the quality of the workmanship. It's cheap and shoddy, through and through.
