Shortly after the warranty ran out, the CD died, leaving the radio as the music source. In a short time, it gets water stained, and becomes totally useless, so if you need a mirror in your shower- don't count on this one.
Neither the tuner, reception, nor the sound was much good, although I must admit that radio reception in my housae can be spotty. The "fog free mirror" is not a real mirror- it appears to be some kind of plastic coated foil, and is pretty distorted right out of the box.
First, the reason I bought this was for the CD. It also seemed pretty big and heavy for something so lacking in guts.After this failed, I bought a Sony, which cost about double the price, but seems to be worth it.
I was not expecting Bose quality for the price and location, but I did expect to be able to hear music. As other readers mentioned, the volume was pretty low- when it was working.
If you don't want to spend that much money, I'd consider trying one of the alternatives in that price range.
The sound is barely loud enough playing in a quiet room, much less in the shower, or with any kind of water running. For a shower cd/radio player this product is terrible. I was very disappointed, I will shop around for a higher quality product next time.
Spend the extra money and get something that lasts a while with better sound quality and volume. To add insult to injury, the player stopped working within 2 months. The volume on this radio is diabolical. When the water goes on, i hear nothing. You will not regret it.
I could not get any reception for the FM stations. There were no problems hearing any CD's or AM stations, but the FM stations had too much static. I didn't care for this shower radio.
It receives both AM and FM well, has a decent sound and is easy to use and set up. I think this is a great value for the price - the fog free mirror alone would cost $9.99 at some of those big box bath stores. I bought this for my husband on a lark and was pleasantly surprised. Beware though, you may see an increase in your water bill.
