This product is certainly not for anyone looking for quality sound. Reception is poor, and the tuner is difficult to work with. However, I suppose you could expect as much from a shower radio, and the radio's durabilty and true water resistance almost make up for its shortcomings.

I purchased the radio/cd model. It will not get through an entire CD without the batteries going dead. I contacted Salon-Maxim customer service and was told this was "completely normal","CD player uses a lot of power", "use rechargeable batteries", and "sorry... nothing I can do for you". He also suggested I use an ac/dc adapter (IN THE SHOWER) !!
I do not recommend this product.

I attended a Cancer relay and one of the gifts given to Cancer Survivors was a "Salton Wet Tunes" shower radio. Turning on the radio took a good 1-2 minutes and if you were not careful, it would turn off. After one week, it would not turn on at all. I know the batteries are good, because the clock works. When, and I use that word very sparingly, it worked the reception was so poor I could hardly hear with the volumn up high. I was extremely dissapointed in the product. I'm happy I didn't purchase the product. Having said that, I'm sure the group that put together the relay will not request that paticuliar product again. One would think a manufacture would donate a product that is workable because, what better "free" advertisment could one get? This advertisment for "Wet Tunes", went south. This product, "Salton Wet Tunes" is in the trash.
I hope no one else purchases one.

This horrible product delivers distorted sound and needs batteries much too often. I'm looking for a better one and will throw this in the garbage which is where it belongs. DON'T BUY IT!!!

I bought this shower radio last year. It did not play CDs, but the batteries died after only a few uses. I don't know if it was defective or if the constantly running clock caused the battery death. I was very disappointed and returned it. Another shower radio that was much cheaper and didn't have a clock runs forever on batteries.

This product is definitely not for someone looking for quality sound. However, if you want a shower radio that is durable and truly water resistant, you should consider Wet Tunes.

Every time I turned it on, I had to turn the sound all the way up, which wasn't so bad, but the batteries ran out like every 2 weeks! And I wasn't using a CD, just radio! And I don't take long showers either. I just got sick of it!

I have this radio (this is just the radio, not the one with the CD player)and don't really have any major complaints. I think it sounds pretty good; I wasn't expecting a stereo in the shower! The only little thing I have noticed, is that when the batteries get low, it is difficult to turn on and off. In other words, you might have to push the on/off button several times to make it turn on or off. But if the batteries are strong, then you don't have that problem. But most battery operated items DO perform better when they have good, strong batteries in them. I just make it a point to use good, alkaline batteries. The better the batteries, the less often you have to change them. In fact, those new titanium batteries last a LONG time! Some of the other reviewers said this radio needs batteries too often. Well maybe it does, but I don't think it is any more often that any other battery-operated items I have. My MP3 player seems to need batteries more often than I expected, too. I just stock up on batteries when I catch them on sale.

First off, I'm not under 13 or whatever, I just didn't want an account, BUT about the radio: IT'S AWESOME!!! Don't listen to these other people, because the volume goes up REALLY loud so you're able to hear it, and it also plays the stations well without static and the batteries last a while. I don't understand why this product is getting so many poor reviews. Hopefully you'll take my word for it. I love it. I got this for Christmas of '05 and it's currently Feb. '06 and the batteries and everything are properly functioning still!! Great buy!!!!
