 I've had this for about four years... July 16, 2008
This is a great radio. My 87 year old mother has one in her kitchen, my sister has one in her bathroom and so do I. The batteries last forever, it's simple to use, it's nice looking, has a nice feel in your hand and sounds good too. Can't ask for much more for the price. Fits really well on the window sill, easy to ready clock, and it has a shut off timer. I love it.
 Good sound but not long lasting July 14, 2008

Just tossed my third Sony shower radio----lasts between one and two years with daily use. Good sound for sure but I'm done with this concept; somehow shower steam and electronics just don't make sense
 Singing in the rain... July 11, 2008
First impressions: felt durable right out of the box with some decent instructions. The radio "feels" waterproof, or as the product description says "water resistant." Put some batteries (not included) in it and hung it up. The antenna is a little unsightly, but hey, it's in a shower. The acoustics in my shower are pretty bad, so the weather channel is pretty much useless because I can't make out what is being reported.
After a few weeks: Radio is a great addition to my morning shower before work. Sound is good and I even noticed that you can listen to local TV station audio, so I have the news on a good bit. Batteries seem to be hanging in there nicely.
Why 4 stars (not 5): It's a shower radio that at $50 is a little expensive.
Described in 5 Phrases: waterproof, sounds good, a little expensive, great start to the day, heavy
How to use the weather band? July 8, 2008
This radio works great in shower. But I have problem with the weather band. I live in Los Angeles. I switched the weather band channels from 1 to 5 and heard nothing but static. Is the weather band receiver of SONY ICF-S79V supposed to hear anything? Any suggestions are welcome!
great radio... we love the TV and weather bands July 4, 2008
We bought this for the bathroom. It has good reception, buttons to program in your favorite stations and weather and TV bands, too.
