Best Period Just received this product and I can now see why all the love for it. My wife had tried a shower radio bought from amazon and the sound and clarity doesn't compare. I can see why this is a 5* product on many review sites. Just simply works. Love the timer, keeps me at a good routine. Flexible antenna that can be quite lengthy. Love it. May 25, 2012
Great radio! I ordered this radio to replace an oldie that finally quit! The features are terrific, especially the timer - will definitely save on batteries! Love having the station presets - now we can easily find all our favorites. Excellent reception on the bathroom windowsill - sound is amazing, too! I am so impressed, I'm ordering 2 more for my kids.
