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.

A Quartz synthesized tuner provides the most accurate drift-free tuning and an AM/ Weather FM/TV band reception allows you choose from the wide variety of radio talk shows and music programming plus sound from TV channels 2-13 and weather band broadcasts among many other features. Easy Weather Button allows one-touch access to weather information. Thanks to unique easy-grip design it will not easily slip from your hand and can be set down on tub edge or other flat surface.

 Great, But Warranty Sub-par September 6, 2008
Great radio, but I had to get warranty service due to radio flooding.
Terms: You pay for shipping to refurbished product center; you get a refurbished radio back.
 Better than most radios - period September 5, 2008
Excellent product - in 10 years I have only replaced the batteries three (3) times!!! That other fellow had to have had a defective product - should have gotten a replacement.
Only radio in the house that tunes in C-SPAN radio 90.1 near Washington, DC. Used it during the huge blackout in northeastern US summer of 2003. Comes in handy on holiday in the Adirondacks when the power goes out around the lake.
Have to say that I own SONY everything - they never wear out, especially picture tubes going on 20 years. Why can't all companies be like that?!!
THIS IS THE BEST SHOWER RADIO ON THE MARKET. September 4, 2008
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.
Sony ICF-S79V Weather Band Shower Radio August 29, 2008
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
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!
