I highly recommend this radio

The Sangean shower radio is the best I ever had.  I bought it a year ago, and so far it has NOT
1.) run out of batteries
2.) fallen off my wall
3.) required me to hit any buttons other than power on/off

the high points for me were:
1.) easy installation with the included 3M mounting squares
2.) easy to set my favorite channels
3.) easy to install the batteries (though I have only done this once)

The only thing I really care about a radio is whether or not I can use it to tune in my Sirius reciever.  I have an old school Sirius receiver with an FM transmitter, and even though it pumps out a good signal I have had trouble with portable radios picking it up.  This shower radio does the trick, but not only that the sound is crisp, and can be as loud as I want it to be, even drowning out my wife's hair dryer in cases where we both get ready in the AM, with no discernible loss in quality.

My last shower radio took 4 AA batteries, and went through a set every 2-3 weeks.  I was worried about this radio requiring D batteries, and suffering through having to buy new ones constantly, but after a year with no battery changes (and daily use) I am glad I went to a better unit.

Anyways, if you are in the market for a shower radio pay a little more for this one, the amount you will save in batteries will more than make up for this one being a little more expensive

This is a radio with good sound and very convenient station access. The push buttons on top make easy,quick turn on and/or switch to another station. There are 10 AM and 5 FM choices. The on/off button can be set to automatic "shut off" at 60, 45, 30, 20, or 10 minute intervals. I have just purchased my third radio. It goes room to room all day whenever I am at home. EVERYONE should have THIS radio.

I bought this radio to communicate with my family in the ground floor of my apartment and the quality was exceptional. I even used it to tap radio transmissions and this can perform very well in bad weather conditions also, If u want to buy a radio , I personally suggest GO FOR IT!!!

I received this radio as a gift, and a replacement for my old 1970s Realistic AM/FM/SW that finally gave up the ghost.

The FM reception is excellent, especially inside where I have had many problems picking up even the local stations.  The tuner doesn't "creep" like other radios I've tried.  The sound quality is great.

I really like the clock and alarm features and I'm now using the Grundig instead of my alarm clock.

All in all, I love this radio.  It works great, looks really cool and is higher quality than everything else I looked at.

I purchased this radio to be used on camping trips and to receive weak stations at ballparks.  The reception is far better than any radio I have owned in this size.  The speaker is somewhat tinny but is a nice touch when two or more are listening.  The stereo sound through the ear buds is as good as any MP3 I have heard.  The ability to select favorites on different bands and move freely between bands on favorites is also a welcome feature.  The weather band has 7 chanels and I am always able to get at least one strong signal.  The belt clip seems flimsy, but since it has station lock switch I just put the radio into my pocket.
  Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase as well as the Amazon shopping experience.

I very recently purchased this radio from Amazon and found it has (for me) excellent AM reception - which is what I was looking for. It is simple to operate as I had set the time, set favorites, tuned, and other features WITHOUT reading the instructions. BTW,the instructions are written clearly and are easy to understand if/when you need to read them. I can not comment on FM and SW performance at this time.

I noted the complaints about the volume control but I've none of the problems mentioned. I note that the volume control is by up/down buttons and if held down, will "jump" up/down depending on the button held down  but moves in steps in individual pushes of the button(s). As to the complaints, I see three possibilies - 1)they have defective samples or 2) they are holding down the buttons as described before or 3) there has been a running change in the radio to address the problem - All I can say for sure is that my radio does not have the problem. I am very pleased with the purchase and expect this to be my travel/home radio for some time to come.

I am a senior and was looking a long time for a good radio.  It is wonderful and the instructions are very easy to follow.  The customer service is excellent.  They took all the time to answer my questions.  I love the radio and customer service.  Thank you.

This radio is a great size (not too small, but compact).  Very user friendly and works great.  It is exactly what I wanted with a few extra perks.  I am very happy with this purchase.  The rechargeable battery was already charged I just needed to plug it into the unit (following the directions provided).  The radio has a nice soft rubbery feel to it.

There's nothing I don't like about this radio. It brings in FM stations good. And I can listen to AM stations at night from 200- 800 miles away. Top notch radio especially for the price.

This radio has made me happy the moment I took it out of the package. I listen to it a LEAST a few hours every day/night. The reception is perfect, I love that it has the weather bands, in addition, I have put in batteries the moment I took it out of the box and have been listening to it for this long and the battery icon (which tells the power left in the batteries) and it has not budged. The unit is very battery friendly, and I love that. The light does not stay on, which I thought it did. I could not be happier with its size and weight. It is so light and smaller than I thought but the sound quality is amazing! I cannot say enough good things about this radio. Plus it has a sleep timer!! I recommend this to everyone that I talk to.

This is a very nice radio. Its reception is good and I like the separate on off switch. I use this as a portable and have never plugged the 110 cord in and the batterise seem to last quite well. It is exactly what I wanted.

This radio sounds great. I was highly impressed with the lows and highs this unit produces. It is also very versatile; its runs of household AC, batteries or a cigarette lighter. Highly recommend.

This is an excellent radio by Sony. I was very impressed when it arrived today. It's a simple radio with FM and AM bands and sounds great. The size is perfect to carry around outdoors, to the beach, or when you are working on-the-go. I love that it takes just 4 AA batteries (I use rechargeable) and also has a plug-in. I have no regrets purchasing this radio. Nice sound and nice price too.

I wanted a radio that had digital tuning with no fewer than 4 presets.  Most tended to have many more and were loaded with features I had no use for.  This radio has a clean design, is very simple and intuitive to operate, has five presets, has great reception and excellent sound.  I am very satisfied with it.  I would recommend it for people like me who are over 50 and just want a handy portable radio to listen to...not an advanced universal communications device that can also boil water and plot continental drift.

The last small radio I bought must have been 20 years ago (before buying boom-boxes and combo radio/CD players). But I wanted a digital tuning AM/FM with decent battery life and OK sound. This radio is all that (as testified to by the many good reviews here). The re-chargeable battery feature is a big plus since they are re-charged right in the radio. The controls are straight-forward and you'll be up and running within minutes.

I've had this radio for about 10 months or so and I absolutely love it! I live in an area between cities and have had trouble getting reception for many radio stations (especially NPR). If I do, it's generally spotty and I have to readjust the antenna over and over again. This was the case with the reception I was getting on my old Bose system. I did hook this little guy up to a rabbit ear-type antenna I had laying around (I'm not a fan of the floppy antennas, which is what comes hooked to the radio), but I get amazing reception and very clear sound! I was a bit reluctant to spend $70 on something that's just a radio, but I'm so happy with my decision to purchase this radio every time I turn it on. I can also turn the volume up enough where I can hear it in other rooms and the sound stays clean and clear. I don't know if non-digital tuning would be a turn-off for other customers, but I quite like it, and there is an indicator light above the tuning knob that shows the strength of the signal (brighter= more clear). Lastly, I'm confident that this will last a good long time for me because of its relatively simple design. I look forward to many more years of clear listening.
