I've used the Sony ICFS79W for about a month, and been VERY happy. It receives clear AM signal so I've always got my Jim Rome Show, and the FM is great for other family members. from Amazon.com The Sony ICFS79W Radio works well as other reviewers have indicated. I do indeed have this in my bathroom and like the idea that the unit seems to be well sealed from water vapor, though I do not use it directly in the shower. from Amazon.com The Sony ICFS79W is a durable, high quality radio that is great to keep on a shelf in your shower. The sound quality is good. from Amazon.com This radio has a lot going for it. It's compact, it has good signal reception and good sound quality. It's rare that I am not pleased with a Sony product, and I've now owned three of these units. from Amazon.com I have had many shower radios in the past and this Sony far exceeds all the others that I have had. from Amazon.com I'd purchased a different brand radio for my bathroom and had to send it back -the sound and reception were just bad, even with the little wire antenna strung everywhere. This one receives perfectly with the antenna wire still wound up in the case unused and the sound is perfect for voice/news. from Amazon.com I had this product for 4 weeks and it stopped responding. The clock would flash but none of the buttons worked. from Amazon.com This radio exceeded my expectations as soon as I programmed my favorite FM and AM stations and placed the radio in the shower. After re-positioning the short antenna wire with its suction cup, all but one distant station came in great. from Amazon.com Not happy- after receiving it, I set the clock and turned on the radio. great. from Amazon.com reception is very good. I've had my Sony shower radio for over 20 years and it is still in good shape so I decided that after many tries w/inexpensive drugstore shower radios that I would get my daughter one like mine. Here's hoping to it lasting 20+ years like mine is!! from Amazon.com
