The Sony Shower Mate radio may just be the ideal early-morning companion: it only plays what you want, when you want, for as long as you want. This splash-resistant TV/Weather/AM/FM synthesized radio offers five preset buttons for programming in your favorite stations, a 90-minute timer with five timer presets (great for kitchen use), and an auto-off function. The large, raised buttons that top the unit are labeled clearly for bleary-eyed mornings, and the volume control has raised grips so that it can be manipulated when fingers are wet and slippery. The Shower Mate is oval-shaped with a flat top and bottom, and is constructed of tough, white plastic. Although it's intended to be used near water, the radio shouldn't be submerged--or even subjected to the stream of a shower. Comes with a strap for hanging and a suction cup for positioning a wire antenna. Requires three C batteries for operation.

 THIS IS THE BEST SHOWER RADIO ON THE MARKET. September 4, 2008
STEVE MCPEAK (BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS)
THIS IS THE SECOND SONY SHOWER RADIO I HAVE PURCHASED. THE FIRST ONE I HAD LASTED MORE THAN TEN YEARS. USED IT EVERY DAY. THE ONLY THING YOU SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF IS WHEN THE TV BROADCAST GO DIGITAL IN FEB. 2009 I DON'T THINK THIS RADIO WILL BROADCAST THOSE STATIONS. RADIO STATIONS SOUND GREAT.

This is the second Sony ICF-S79V Weather Band Shower Radio we have owned. The first one, bought in the early 1990s is still going strong, showing the great Sony workmanship that we all hope to see in all products. Of special note is the strong AM reception and the weather proof housing.
Terrific shower radio!! August 3, 2008
sugrdaisee (Richardson, TX)
I love this shower radio! It's got great sound quality and reception and the digital tuner makes it very easy to use. The preset buttons are great. I use this radio about 20 minutes a day, and since I bought it in December I have not yet had to change the battery. I highly recommend this shower radio!
 Lasted about 2 weeks August 2, 2008
Leslie K (USA)
I put this radio in my bathroom, away from the shower. It worked fine for about 2 weeks. Then one morning, I turned it on and after about 10 minutes it shut off. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the radio to work. The next day, same thing - radio ran for about 10 minutes then shut off. I was not using the timer. I expected much more from a Sony product.

My daughter picked it out for my son-in-law. He loved it and especially the features and durability. It was one of the highest rated shower radio's and I'm very pleased with it.
