5.0 out of 5 stars Very good MP3/Radio shower unit, October 26, 2005

By	Richard Susanto (Schaumburg, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been looking for a water resistant FM radio when I stumbled across this unit at Amazon.com. It was on sale for $29.99 and it comes with a built-in 32MB Pavit MP3 player. Who can beat that? I immediately purchased one unit and it's currently hanging in my shower. Very nice. The sound is really good considering the size of the unit. And I love the ability that the Pavit USB drive can be taken out of the system for MP3 file transfer. Aiwa is currently making the 128MB and 256MB USB drive so you can exchange your flash drive easily (I can't wait until they're available).

The user interface is easy to learn. Although, I found the button to be so hard to press. They probably design it that way for the water resistant feature. The small mono LCD screen features 3 lines which shows important info of the system as well as the MP3 file song + artist name or radio station information.

Again, as I say, who can beat the $29.99 price. I would buy this unit for double the price. Get it while you still can. The only reason drawback of the unit that I can think of is its 32MB flash drive. With 32MB, I can only copy about 8 songs at a time. Although to think about it, whoever spends more than 8 songs (about 30 minutes) in a shower is probably a slacker :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Shower Radio!, January 13, 2006

By	Heather - See all my reviews

Originally, I had planned on buying a Sony shower radio w/ a CD player for around $100. They were out of stock and w/ the MP3 market these days, I decided on this radio. It does hold about 8 full length songs on it. Uploading songs to the device from your computer is really easy: it just takes a few mouse clicks and about 30 seconds. The radio itself is loud and has good sound quality. AIWA just unveiled their 128MB & 256MB Removable Storage Media devices a few weeks ago so those should be available very soon for those who aren't satisfied with the 32MB. I would highly recommend this to anyone. You can take it anywhere with you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice gadget for wet environments, May 17, 2006

By	K. Akinci "Gadget!Mania" (Istanbul,Turkey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The quality of the radio reception is very high, in the closed places there is no interferance on the radio, its quite good.The backlight of lcd screen is blue and difficult to read while moisture on the screen!.The player's memory is just 32 Mbytes and it is sufficient for bath time(approx.half an hour) cd quality music, you can save only 5 or 6 tracks to listen.You can buy 128/256 MB version PAVIT from the manufacturer if you want to spend more money to listen long time music.Overall,radio is good, mp3 player's memory is not enough. If you are using shower it's ok.Battery life is normal (15 days), because that.. while in the shower, you need to pump up the volume.
