I purchased this shower/CD player for my recently graduated daughter's first apartment as a fun item. Before purchasing another one for my teenage son, I asked her about this Target shower/CD player. I had just read a recent Amazon review which lacerated of a similar model. Her email respsonse:

" Also, the cd player works great--however, I don't put it in the shower itself because ironically enough you're not supposed to place it humid/moist areas--so not sure why it's a shower device.I do hang it on the doorknob inside the bathroom and listen to tunes in the morning--so i'd give it one and a half thumbs up.

I got this as a Xmas gift and it has yet to work right.I tried using it in the bathroom and for the first 5min the radio actually worked then nothing, just shut off.I haven't been able to turn it on since then.Neither radio or CD function will turn on which is odd considering the clock and backlight function still work fine. Don't know if there's some special buttons I'm supposed to be using besides the On/Off one. Also the model doesn't appear on the Jensen website, am planning on exchange for another model.

This radio only worked well for about 6 months, then it died. I replaced the batteries with brand new ones, and it still wouldn't work. It was never dropped, but stopped working. I only got some of the stations, it couldn't pick up a lot of them. It is a little big and bulky, especially for the shower area. I've had other radios (non shower type) for 15 years and never had a problem. I would never buy another one for the shower, they just don't last.

I have owned this radio for a few years, and have these complaints:

-Battery life sucks.I stopped using the CD feature because the batteries would run out so fast, but even without playing CDs the batteries last only 3 months with the radio being used for less than 15 minutes/day. It takes SIX C-batteries, so it gets expensive.

-The "light" feature is useless.There is a button to press that is supposed to illuminate the LCD display to show the time or station.It illuminates the LCD display from each side with a little light, rather than backlighting the LCD display.It does not make seeing the LCD any easier.

-Poor station memory tuning.The only way to cycle through the stored stations is to press a button which goes one way through the stations.For example, if you are listening to the station stored in slot one, then go up to the station in slot two, the only way to go back to station one is to cycle through station three, four, five, etc. until you hit ten and then one again.Annoying!

-I found the reception to be ok, but not great.

-The radio is a bit large.Granted it has a CD player, but it still seems very large for a shower.

I finally bought a new shower radio one with no CD player since I didn't use it anyway and am much happier and richer because I don't have to replace the batteries all the time!
