Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Start looking forward to your morning showers all over again with Coby's convenient and feature-packed CDSH285 CD-radio. It gives you music, sure--AM/FM radio, stereo CD playback with 20-track programming--but it also offers a 5.5-inch mirror to help you accelerate your preparations while you're enjoying your music. There's even a built-in alarm clock to make sure you're not still lost in your music when the hot water runs out.

The vertical-loading CD player also offers repeat and random play, and the unit's stereo speakers fold out for broad stereo imaging. Splash resistant seals protect the CDSH285 from moisture.

Using the unit at bedside? Plug in some headphones and set the alarm to wake you up to your favorite radio station (or to a buzzer). The three-color lighted LCD offers a choice of red, green, orange, or random.

The unit is desk or bath-wall mountable with a supplied nylon rope hanger for the shower head. Shower or portable use requires six "C" batteries, and it can also be powered via an external 9V DC adapter (batteries and AC/DC adapter are not included).

What's in the Box
Portable shower stereo, a nylon suspension strap, and a user's manual.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of Junk, March 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: COBY CDSH285 Stereo CD Shower Radio with Alarm Clock (Electronics)

I purchased this item and it stopped working in less than a week. What a complete piece of garbage. My guess is that water gets into it and causes it to stop working. If you take it out and let it dry for a few days, it'll work for a few minutes before taking another dump.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a durable product., January 20, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: COBY CDSH285 Stereo CD Shower Radio with Alarm Clock (Electronics)

For the first few months I owned my shower radio I was quite pleased with the purchase. I received very good radio reception -- as good as my clock radio. However, after about three months it stopped working (I thought the batteries had run down). I purchased new batteries, but it no longer functions. I didn't notice anywhere that water had gotten into it... and I kept it in a place above the showerhead so any water that would have been on it was mostly condensation. Anyway... I'll not likely buy a CD player for my shower again and just stick to having one on the counter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Keep the receipt if you buy this, December 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: COBY CDSH285 Stereo CD Shower Radio with Alarm Clock (Electronics)

Water got into this two days after I used it in the shower, and the clock was no longer visible.

I left it unused for two weeks, and the 6 C-batteries have run out.

Believe it or not, I believe I actually threw my receipt away when I got it! (That's why I'm anonymous.)
