Product Description

This ideal water resistant band shower radio for bathroom, shower, spa or sauna features a unique Easy-Grip design that will not easily slip from your hand and can be set down on the tub edge or other flat surface. Easy-to-use controls are located atop the radio for handy one-finger 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.

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.

Sony ICF-S79V Weather Band Shower Radio: 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. More reviews

Terrific shower radio!!: 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.
