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.

 Super Radio January 7, 2009
Great sound, stations come in clear, including AM, which can be a tricky band. The presets are super, just like being in your car.
My only criticism is the weather button, which does not come in clearly often and sometimes not at all. I will admit I have not completely "unfurled" the FM antenna, because I move this radio often from the shower to the vanity/sink area and don't want a foot of antenna wire to deal with.
 Works great!! December 25, 2008
I've been using this for a few weeks now, and it works great! It gets wet all of the time, and the radio continues to work perfectly. Also, the reception is much better than prior shower radios that I have used. I don't get anything from the weather or TV stations, but I didn't buy it for that as I just wanted the radio.
Great product...Just don't let it fall too many times! December 21, 2008
Bought this for my husband so he could listen to the radio in the morning. I think it fell off the little shelf in the shower a few too many times (~4 ft). It worked great, and still "technically" works (it does play with batteries installed). The buttons (any of them) won't respond anymore though (since the last fall) and the volume just stays up high now and won't go down. We also have to take the batteries out to get it to turn off. I realize this is probably all our fault for letting it fall several times (~10?). I plan on either getting this fixed or buying a new one since we really did like it.
Shower radio is multi-purpose December 6, 2008
I chose this product because it was top rated for reception, which I wanted because I live in a romote area. It is water proof so I can take it with me outside when I am gardening.
Look nowhere else this one's it December 2, 2008
I've had this radio for a year now and it works perfectly. I've used it almost everyday and have only replaced the batteries once. The sound quality is superb with very little distortion if you crank up the volume. It's surprising just how loud this radio gets. Splurge a little and get a quality product. Don't waste your money on the cheap ones.
