Weather Band Digital Tuner Shower Radio Sale 2012

This product exceeded my expectations. In the past I have bought some other shower radios that did not work well and was also expecting this one to have poor quality, but I have been pleasantly surprised. We have not used it in the shower, but instead have it sitting on the counter. I love the timer feature because I no longer need to remember to turn off the radio before I leave for work. When my teenage daughter takes a shower, we have her put the timer on 10 minutes to help decrease the incredibly long showers she likes to take. So far it has gotten good reception, but we do need to use the antenna. I also appreciate the digital station programming so I can switch from my daughter's radio stations to the one I like better to a quick push of the button. I tried the weather button the first day I owned it, but have not used it again.

// I bought one or two other shower radios about 2 years ago and chucked them both out toot sweet for various failures, when a web search brought up this one (the S79V -- looks the same, though). So I bought it, not expecting much. And was blown away. Reception is great ... adjacent channel rejection is excellent ... sound is -- well, what do you expect in the shower?? Plenty good enough. Controls are simple, and brilliantly placed where you can work them easily even if the radio's overhead.
// I have no argument with C cell batteries, because of how long they last. One of the chuckouts burned through _6_ AAs every week ... the Sony needs changing maybe once every three months or so. Good deal.
// My first complaint was immediate: that wimpy little string they give you to hang it up with. Feh. Luckily, one of the chuckouts *did* have a decent bent-wire over-the-door hanger that actually fits the Sony perfectly, so the wimpy string problem went away in about a minute.
// My second complaint is more recent. Over time, the one-piece hard plastic button cover has cracked over some of the buttons, and even broken away ... particularly over the AM/FM band switch and the Off button. I don't know if it's because water gets in now or what, but those buttons need a lot of pressure lately and don't work so well anymore. With all the flexible plastics available today, I believe Sony could have done a better job here.
// So what am I going to do in the shower, now that this old radio is headed for new duties in my workshop? I'M GOING TO BUY ANOTHER ONE, OF COURSE!! It's *that* good.
// Prices vary. I see one at Amazon for $41, and I'm going to grab it before it's gone!
