      It easy to use and sturdy. It's been a month and the battery is still good, and it's on an hour a day at least. The sound can be a little tinny on some stations, but not all, but it's better sounding than any of our previous ones. I love the timer, keeps me from being late for work. It's a nice radio, albeit, a little pricey.

      Great radio!

      By CindyJ

      from Rotonda West, FL

      Comments about Sony ICFS79W Weather Band Digital Shower Radio:

      I ordered this radio to replace an oldie that finally quit! The features are terrific, especially the timer - will definitely save on batteries! Love having the station presets - now we can easily find all our favorites. Excellent reception on the bathroom windowsill - sound is amazing, too! I am so impressed, I'm ordering 2 more for my kids.

        Comments about Sony ICFS79W Weather Band Digital Shower Radio:

        I wanted this radio because of the digital tuning and preset stations. It gets much better reception than my old radio, and the sound quality is very good for such a small unit. The weather radio feature is a nice bonus.
