It fell off the wall, so I stuck it on a glass wall, where it adhered much better. Reception is good - gets some of the local radio stations better than other radios in the house do.
The fall seemed to have no ill effect on the radio. The sound is kind of tinny, and sometimes spoken word sounds garbled, but did not expect high-fidelity for the price.
Had been looking for a shower radio at local retail stores, but no one carried them. After about a month it fell off the glass wall of the shower and the antenna bent, but still works OK.
After seeing positive reviews for the Zadro ISING FM Shower Radio, ordered it from Amazon for about $15. Mounted it using the suction cups provided on one of the plastic walls of the shower and about a half hour later heard a crash.
It's probably a good idea to re-attach the suction cups to the shower wall every week or so to avoid falls.
It breaks easily when dropped (this I discovered when my husband knocked it off it's holder). So, a cheap radio, and you kind of get what you pay for, yet I didn't hate it.
Note, it would not stay up when suctioned on, I hooked it on the shower organizer I have. When I replaced the one my huband broke, the second one only lasted about three months, and just stopped, for no apparent reason.
It finds a local station that can be hard to get in, so has great reception. Update: I just tried a Conair that was horrible, and my opinion has probably improved on this one.
I like the small size. It's sound quality isn't as great as a non-shower radio, but is very acceptable for a shower radio.
I just purchased another.
Unfortunately, the radio doesn't work. I give it 2 stars because the clock works fine.
It worked great for several months - stuck to the shower wall well and tuned better than our previous radio. Then about a month ago, the on/off/volume knob started having two settings: off and LOUD. This is the second shower radio my husband and I have tried in two years. Then it finally stopped working at all. We only paid $10 for it, so we weren't expecting anything fantastic. It is better than the first one we got, but this eventually conked out too. You could replace it every year for 4-5 years and not be out any more money than the more expensive ones, but I think we're ready to try a higher-end model to see if they last longer than a year.
It is not the same sound quality of my old radio but it is loud enough and clear enough to hear while in the shower. I finally came to Amazon and purchased this inexpensive radio. My $35.00 shower radio of 7 years died recently which prompted me to visit Bed Bath and Beyond where I had purchased it to find a replacement. I went to 3 similar stores and found very little selection. It mounted fine to my fiberglass shower but be sure to wet the suction cups to alleviate falling and breaking.
