We got one for the shower and another for outdoors - very clear with great reception.
Bought this for my flats boat. Used the mount on the center console. Works great.
The radio is about twice the size of the Sony, but is very solidly built and easy to operate. Until now, all the alternatives were cheapo products that got terrible reviews and looked like they wouldn't last. I have owned two of the Sony shower radios and they have each lasted about a year and a half before water starts to seep in and corrodes the batteries or wrecks the radio. The reception is also better than the Sony. This Sangean radio is way above the others in quality. It is meant to be a marine radio and says it is waterproof and floats, although I have tried using it as a bathtub toy. I can pick up AM stations that would have nothing but static with the Sony and FM stations are very clear. My wife and son have commented on the superior sound quality as well and I agree.
Solidly built, excellent battery life, great sound.It even has an accurate clock. The best shower radio I've owned.
At this rate I'll only have to replace the batteries in this one once a year.In addition to the battery life I also like the large display and the fact that it displays the time even when the radio is off. That is fantastic.
The sound quality and FM reception are comparable, or better, then the SI unit.The biggest surprise to me though is the battery life. I bought this radio 6 months ago to replace a broken Sharper Image shower radio we had been using for several years.
This radio, which takes 2 D size batteries, has been in use for 6 months and just yesterday lost the first bar off of the 3 bar power meter. Between me and my wife we listen to this radio 40-50 minutes a day (we listen while we're getting ready, not just while in the shower).
The SI radio took 4 C size batteries and would last maybe two months before needing replacements. One of the things I hated about the old radio was how frequently I had to replace the batteries.
(my old one only displayed the time when the radio was off, which was annoying)Anyway I think is a great product and I highly recommend it.
