Yes, it was under $15. But, it is overpriced at that amount. The mirror fogs. The radio won't stay on station. Buy something else.

Pros: Fairly loud, doesn't look bad, inexpensive, has a nice stand, digital display that shows current frequency, loud alarm.

Cons: Tuner drifts after turning off and on, mirror fogs badly, the rope for hanging up is shorter than usual.

Jwin Jxm58 Splash Proof Am/Fm Radio with Alarm Clock

I will first say that this product is not over priced, but it's not under priced either. You get what you pay for I guess.

After using this product in the shower for a month now, I have found a few faults with it.

First, the knobs are not designed with wet hands in mind. The knobs are small and smooth, so it's really hard to adjust the volume in the shower.

The volume adjusts in increments that are not very precise, meaning it goes from too low, to too loud, with just a slight turn of the knob. I find it hard to find that perfect volume... with or without wet hands.

Despite the digital display for the tuner, it's not truly a digital tuner, as far as I can tell anyway. I'm not sure how to describe this, but to tune in the stations, you use a knob, and much like the volume knob, it's really hard get precisely tune in a station. It's not like the digital tuner on your car stereo where you turn the knob and it moves up or down 1310, 1311, 1312, etc. It's pretty much impossible to go from 1310 to 1311.

I don't know if it was advertised as a "steam-resistant" mirror, but the mirror is useless in the shower. Personally, I didn't buy it for that, so I don't care, but if you are going to try and shave in the shower using the mirror, it probably won't work.

The price was reasonable, although Wal-Mart had the same product on clearance for $5.00. Go figure.

I use it every morning, so it does meet my needs, but if the issues I raise are a deal breaker, then spend the extra buck and get a better one.
