Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sangean H201 AM/FM Digital Shower Radio
Customer Review: Outstanding Clarity, Perfect Form Factor, Overall Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
UPDATE: I have owned this radio for 10 months and I STILL have nothing but praise for it! All prior comments still hold true. This is THE best shower radio I've ever owned...
(see #6 - updated battery info)
Pros -->
1. The sound quality is so clear and sharp. The best thing for me is that it captures and holds every station which I select. I mention this because every other shower radio that I've owned in the past 30+ years has failed to do this. I must add that those other shower radios were in the $15.00 - $40.00 price range so I don't have an "expensive" shower radio to compare with. I haven't had a need to utilize the FM wire antenna where it was a must with all of the other shower radios I've owned.
2. The Form Factor is the final attribute that had me selecting this radio over the Sony ICFS79W AM/FM/Weather Band Digital Tuner Shower Radio. With the Sangean, I can hang it over the pipe that the shower head is attached to (with the supplied strap). There are other ways to hang this unit up - a bracket plus other items come with it. The controls are on the FACE of the unit whereas the Sony has them on the top. I'm not that tall so being able to easily access ALL of the controls on the face was exactly what I needed. Much more convenient.
3. The display which can show Volume Level (which gets pretty loud), Radio Station Call Numbers and/or the Time etc. is of a reasonably size. The other shower radios seem to have a smaller display and the Sangean is also backlit when pressing various buttons. ALL buttons are responsive and react IMMEDIATELY to your touch.
4. For some reason when researching this radio, I was not aware that it is Waterproof (not just water resistant). Apparently, it's so waterproof that it is supposed to Float! I have not confirmed this feature (and probably won't). ;O)
5. It also comes with a built-in flashlight. I may never use this but others who take this radio on their boat or camping etc. may find it useful. If nothing else, it will be an emergency backup flashlight that I can use (at least I'll always know where it's at!). Also has an emergency buzzer (siren??) but I haven't tested that out.
6. 05-02-2010-UPDATE: Battery Life is pretty darn good. I just replaced the two "D" Batteries yesterday (5/1/10). I use this radio (on average) 2 hours a day, so from appx. 7/20/2009 until now, I've used the radio for 10 months and this is pretty good battery life. If volume plays a part on the battery life, I use a level = 22 - 23 while in the shower and 18 when out.
Orig. comment, 8/09-->It's too early to comment on battery life but if the other reviews are accurate then it will be another year before I have to replace them... (there is a built-in battery power indicator so you can keep an eye on it).
7. Setup was a breeze. Quick and easy.
--> Bottom line - Well Made, Great Sound! I'm really happy that I spent the extra money - as the saying goes "you get what you pay for." To me, this is the best shower radio out there. Don't hesitate to purchase this shower radio... you won't be sorry!
Cons -->
None.
Wish List -->
The only other feature that I would have liked to have would be RDS (Radio Data Services: Artist & Song Title info) readout on the display. Maybe the next version will have it.....
