Pretty good radio for the money........2007-09-06

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.

Very good.......2006-02-07

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!!!!

Doesn't even deserve 1 star.......2005-01-10

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!!!

Wet Tunes Shower Am/FM Radio.......2003-10-21

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.

Power hungry.......2003-01-18

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.

It's a "bug"... It's a clock... ...It's Uber-Crap!!.......2007-09-13

I have had this for over a year but haven't gotten much use out of the radio. I have exchanged it more than once because some the first couple I got never worked to begin with. The radio (at very best) gets a very, very, poor reception. I did notice that at times when I put new batteries in it the radio would work slightly better, but not for long. Finally, I decided to put it in my laundry room and use it as a clock only. I recormend getting this shower clock/radio because it has worked much better for me: Fog-Free Mirror with AM/FM Radio & Digital Clock in White.

Worst Radio Ever.......2007-07-23

This is just a bad design for this type of product. No Display of what station you are on, only button to tune station is next button. It says AM/FM but no way to tell or switch from AM to FM. Little Sucker Feet only work for a short time. Usually radio is at the bottom of the shower every morning. Takes AAA batteries, but require a really small phillips screwdriver to install them. Bad reception even when it is tuned to station. Spend a little more to get a product that works.

I only wish I could rate this with negative stars........2007-06-18

It's had to imagine a product doing its advertised task any worse. You can't see what station is tuned in, it wanders from station to station, the buttons are hard to push, and the reception is awful. The folks who sell this must be fresh out of snake oil.

Currently, it no longer tunes in any stations. I'm just waiting for my Sony to arrive.

At least the clock works.

dont buy it.......2007-04-05

if i was able to rate this item with negative stars, i would have. once you turn the bug off, you have to find the station you listened to all over again. the reception is terrible. the suction cups dont suck to the wall. basically its a piece. dont waste your money!

Terrible reception. Tinny speaker. Radio does not "remember" last used station when turned off. Don't waste your money.

This radio was half the size that I expected it to be, and would hardly pick up the strongest radio station we have. Horrible quality and buy.

Product Description

Remember Sesame Street's Ernie playing in the bathtub and singing the rubber ducky song? Well, as adults we're still singing; just probably not in the right key. No worries - the Shower Radio makes everyone sound good, especially if you turn the volume up high enough. Aesthetically pleasing, the AM/FM Shower Radio was specifically designed to perform near water. Constructed of high impact plastic, the radio is splash proof. Tote it, with the ergonomic styled grip. Secure it, by attaching to bathroom tile, glass or any hard surface using three large suction cups mounted on the base. Or, keep it off the ground, with the hanging cord that is included. The Shower Radio's large speaker delivers crisp, clear sound. Separate volume and tuning controls make operating intuitive. Listen to music with the FM reception or to talk radio and news with the AM reception. In six colors - pink, white, yellow, blue, orange and green, pick one that compliments your tastes. Great for both outdoors and poolside uses. Praised by a number of magazines including In Style, the Shower Radio is a Kito Design favorite.

update on last review.......2004-01-26

Well, after couple days of messing around with this drive I have given up. Software does not work, wont read dvd-rom (movies), wont read dvd-ram discs, only thing it does do is create music cd's (could buy a cd burner for 20 bucks). Will be returning this item on Monday. Techinal support does not help, not worth wasting your time with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

software is horrible, drive good.......2004-01-24

Well after reading the reviews I knew I would be in for some work with this drive. Its 8 hours later and still trying to get mydvd installed (problem with version 4.x that is in the package). You will get runtime error when using on windows XP. Went to website to upgrade, and they want $98 to get version 5.0 that has no runtime error. So the "included software" is a joke. So if your getting it for the "great software", dont buy it. I wanted it to make movies from my new dvd video camera, but guess that is not going to happen.

Computer reconized drive right away, so no problem there. Seems to read all disks so far. Have not tried writing yet, sure I will be in for a treat.

The 1-1 support chat at the Iomega website is a joke, just tell you to update driver (which you cant do unless you have $98 bucks, then say update windows which does not help at all, then they disconnect and your on your own).

Will update after I figure out the Mydvd problem. If you dont know alot about computers: DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT, takes too much knowledge for the average user!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not yet ready for the market.......2003-12-16

I bought this drive on 6.12.2003 and encountered many problems.

The first problem is that it cannot burn the DVD+RW it bundles! I used Hotburn to format the disk. After 'formatting', the drive kept on 'verifying' the disk for over 7 hours. I thought it was a media problem, and so I bought another 'expensive' disk for testing. Same problem! I then took the disks to my friend for testing. He can easily write / read on those disks with his Sony RW drive. He then gave me another Sony +RW disk for testing. But the same problem occurs. It seems that the drive simply cannot work properly on +RW disks.

The second problem was using Hotburn. I burnt 2 DVD-R data disks 'successfully' using the Hotburn. But when I reviewed what I had done, only part of the files (1%) could be retrieved. Other files just disappeared! When I contact Iomega support, they told me that Hotburn is recommended to work with DVD+R! If that is the case, why didn't the software stop me from creating the coasters!

Since I do not want any more coasters, I search the Internet for suggestions and found that there are indeed more victims like me (under the Iomega forum). I still cannot figure out any solution, and Iomega support team keeps on telling you to try 'better' media (but I can find no better ones).

Currently, I can only burn 2 DVD-R successfully with myDVD and perform data backup using DVD-RAM (at only 1x speed).

If I can return the drive in Hong Kong, I will certainly do so.

Currently, my only hope is that a further firmware update may make things better.

Avoid This Drive.......2003-11-06

Nothing but errors and coasters. Does not seem to properly write to DVD-R discs. Works fine for DVD+R, but will not work at all for DVD-R. Tech support at Iomega blamed the software company, the blank media and so on, but had no clue what was really happening.

If you need DVD-RAM, stick to Panasonic, since they created it. For all others, just avoid this drive.

Problems with Firmware Upgrade, But Then It Worked.......2003-10-19

Unfortunately, this drive (at the time of this review - 10/03) requires a firmware update to be compatible with all types of media. Amazon was nothing less than spectacular in shipping the drive out via its Free Shipping method - it arrived 4 days later! Much to my dismay, Iomega's firmware update froze my computer, and as a result, the drive's chip was corrupted. Amazon immediately took the unit back and replaced it within 48 hours!! However, after speaking with Iomega and getting another firmware upgrade personally from one of the techs (who also talked me through the update, making sure the computer was supposed to be the way it was for the update), the same thing happened all over! Amazon graciously stated they would take it back again for a full refund, but I wanted one last crack at installing the firmware (I'm stubborn). This time, however, I installed the drive into my daughter's Windows ME computer (I have Win 98). I ran the update, and voila - it worked! I took the drive out of her computer, re-installed it in mine, and it works great. I'm not sure if this was an operating system problem, but it was a major hassle to get the firmware to A06. I suggest you wait a few months so that the units shipped have the update already installed. As for performance, it's a great drive and works very well, especially the DVD-RAM function, which is the only reason I got it. The Hot Burn software that comes with it is kind of schlocky and cannot do a standard DVD-Video burn, only a DVD-ROM burn which will not work on some DVD players. There are better programs on the market that can do the job better than Hot Burn, but the drive works very well.
