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.

Wally-world sells these for $5. I have gone through 4...Yes, FOUR of these pieces of #$%^ trying to find one that will work. First one flat didn't work. Next unit didn't work. Third unit wouldn't get AM. Fourth unit worked...for about three minutes.

Run ...don't walk to the nearest exit!

This shower radio has a better sound then the last one that I had, and it is easy to use. The only problem I've had with it is that the suction cups holding it to the wall of the shower don't fit into a keyhole slot, but rather they just push into the back of the radio at the top. This allowed it to be knocked off of the suction cups when it was bumped in the shower, landing on my foot, and clattering noisily to the floor. It still works, however, and I will now be more careful!

I got this shower radio for Christmas and was excited. Also, the radio is only splash proof and can only withstand a small amount of steam. Because of this I didn't feel comfortable hanging it directly under the shower head by the rope, so I used the suction cups and placed it at the far end of the shower. But, I was constantly afraid that the suction cups would fail and the radio would fall. I used it exactly TWICE (total time was about 30 minutes) when the volume (on/off) button broke. Thankfully I still had the packaging but I had to pull it out of the trash can to return this thing. Think I'm going to try to find a different shower radio.

The mirror still fog and it does not stick on the wall very good, eventually it'll fall. Everytime you turn on or off the radio the clock will reset back to 12:00am useless clock.

I have tried a dozen different brands of these things and this is the only one that works as advertised. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I bought this and after using it a few times, I wish I would not have bought it.
Knobs are impossible to turn when wet (small, round and smooth) just what you DON'T want in a shower radio.
When you turn it on, it goes from no sound to BLASTING with the smallest adjustment. Nearly impossible to get a non-deafening level.
Does stay on the tuned station, drifts up and down.
Look for another model.

I purchased this radio/clock a little over a month ago more for the clock then the radio after reading other reviews, but to my surprise the radio has also worked great! The reception is good, it is easy to tune to preferred stations and has worked like a champ. For the price you can't beat it. The mirror does get fogged up after about 10 minutes, but other than that I have had no issues and would recommend this shower radio/clock to others.
