4.0 out of 5 stars Decent quality for the price, December 21, 2010

This review is from: Jensen JCR-540 AM/FM Stereo Shower Radio and CD Player with Fog Resistant Mirror (White) (Electronics)

Thanks to the other reviews, I pretty much knew what to expect. My review is a response to the others:
1. I live in an area with iffy radio reception but I've gotten ok reception out of this. The higher frequency stations tuned in really well.
2. The radio audio was generally MUCH louder than the CD audio.
3. When playing classical CDs, the audio is not audible when my shower is on. But for contemporary music, the levels are acceptable but not great.
4. The clock can be changed at any point by HOLDING DOWN the `Time' button while pressing the hours and minutes buttons to adjust the time. You should be able to change the time at will.
5. I was able to change modes and adjust tuner/volume while in the shower and with wet hands.
6. It takes 6 `C' size batteries which ended up costing me $15 (NYC prices) but should hopefully translate to longer lasting power.
7. The anti-fog mirror works.
8. You can put the player on a stand or hang it (both options provided)
I enjoyed mine, perhaps bec. the other reviews set my expectations. Hope my review will help you with your decision.

I bought this to replace an old shower radio that just didn't seem to tune in right anymore. The reception is great and I can tune into any station. Good sound quality. Only drawback is that once you are in the shower and your hands are wet, it's difficult to turn the volume or tuning knobs.

Had this radio for over a month and works fine. Volume is loud specially when playing a cd, won't play mp3 however. Radio reception is clean even though I use it in a basement bathroom. On the plus, the mirror is indeed fog free. Radio can be connected to an ac adapter to save on battery needs, but not included. Would recommend.
