Not great sound

(3 out of 5) by A. Petok on Feb 26, 2009
The sound could be better on this and the mirror fogs up very quickly. Digital display is good.

clock doesn't show when radio is on, mirror does fog up

i bought this for my husband so that he could know the time in the morning and listen to the radio before work. big downfall is that the clock doesn't show when you listen to the radio, thus defeating its purpose.

Great radio for shower, however, the clock did not work, but, since I was not interested in the clock only the radio it was no problem.

Okay for the price

This shower radio is a very good option if you do not want to spend more than fifteen dollars on a radio. The digital LCD display is nice and I love how it shows what station is being tuned in on the screen rather than on a printed sticker around the tuning knob. My shower is really loud, steamy, and extremely wet, but the little radio fills the shower with the hottest new songs from 106.1 KISS FM. The internal antenna pulls in MOST of the radio stations in Seattle, although some can't make it in without becoming filled with static. It comes with three options to set it up: hanging from the shower head, sitting on a counter, or attaching to a wall with suction cups. I couldn't hang it on my oversized shower head because it doesn't stick out far enough to hold the radio out of the stream of water. The suction cups hold it pretty well, but I have to be careful not to bump it up or it will fall. There are many pros, but the cons almost outnumber them. For one, the mirror isn't treated with any anti-fog coating, so it fogs up really fast. This might happen because my showerhead emits a TON of steam and visible mist. I bet it gets up to 110% humidity in the bathroom in 10-15 minutes. The next issue is with the radio tuner. Whenever I turn it off, it almost always shifts the station by .1 so it comes in with static next time you turn it on. jWIN also (kind of) scams you by saying speaker plural like this "speakers." This leads you to believe that this shower radio is stereo, but it is mono. Overall, the sound is good, it looks nice, and it can survive pouring mist, steam, and humidity from my shower without losing a beat. A great buy for a second shower.

It will do for now

(3 out of 5) by Mark V. Blum on Apr 2, 2008
I bought a second Jwin mirror radio for shower shaving when the first one stopped working. It's not my first choice because its an obvious "made in china" carnival prize quality item. The thing is there's just about no others out there and the few that are look like their construction is worse or the price is 4-5x more.

I'd give it a year of use before it quits on me but that's what I expected when I bought it.
