The major problem was the radio - the shower bug is primarily a RADIO, so one would expect to be able to use that functionality relatively easy. The radio's digital time was clear, making watching time in the shower quick and easy. :) But, that's not enough to give it a good rating. Great little clock, (What's this?) This is a really nice little waterproof clock - the metal case is solid and heavy, and the face and hands are bright and very visible - I particularly like the red tips on the hands.Ĭute, but that's where it ends, I received one of these shower bugs as a gift years ago.I loved how it looked, I thought it was so cute (read: cheesy, sometimes, I love cheesy). Sound: Awful, Reception: Worst, and to top it off, it only scans to get the station and you don't know what station it is. Wished I'd read the previous reviews before I brought this worthless item. JUNK, (What's this?) I really wasted my money on this. If that one doesn't work out, I might consider buying one of these again only because they are inexpensive and it lasted longer than any other shower radios I've had. I've decided to try a more expensive one (different from the Sony). The antenna came off today and it will need to be replaced. Sound was not great, but good enough for listening to the news while taking a shower. The clock wasn't even that good, falling behind over a couple of months. The only thing which made it tolerable was that the station I used was near the bottom of the dial. You have to push one button to move thru the stations and it doesn't display where it was. On the negative side, it is difficult to tune in radio stations, and it doesn't hold the station once tuned in.
On the plus side, it did last much longer than the Sony. Works But Many Frustrations, I bought one of these very inexpensively after two far more expensive Sony shower radios died. It is hard/a pain to find radio stations, but for the price you cannot expect a digital dial and functionality offered in other shower clock/radios. They have worn out a bit over time and I may have to push them back on more often, but the unit has never fallen. I got it for my brother who took showers for too long and essentially we ran out of hot water. Shower Bug!!!, (What's this?) The shower bug is a fun clock/radio for the shower.
