H202 AM/FM/Weather, Digital tuned Waterproof/Shower Radio with Bluetooth

Over the past, I would guess, 15 years we have had two of the Sony shower radios. They were great. They lasted a really long time, the sound quality was good and the batteries lasted forever. So when the second one broke recently I went onto Amazon looking for another one. I was intrigued when I saw the Sangean shower radio offered. It had great ratings and had all of the same features as the Sony. BUT it also had Bluetooth capabilities. This is huge. I like to listen to my iPhone when I'm in the shower but I don't want to get it wet, of course. I used to resort to putting my phone in a baggie and hoping there wouldn't be a leak. But the Sangean solved this problem. Connecting to BT is easy and the sound is very clear. The other reason I like the Sangean over the Sony is that all of the controls are on the FACE of the Sangean. On the Sony they are on top. I'm 5'4" tall. With the radio hanging from the shower head it is impossible for me to see the top of the Sony without moving it. I can clearly see the Sangean controls without standing on my tiptoes and moving the radio out of position. Some other positives are that we get good reception on the unit (we are in a mountain area) and it has a little light on the side. Not sure why I need a light on the side of my shower radio but there it is. I guess if the power goes out while I'm showering I've got it covered. There is also an emergency siren but the button is located on the side of the unit. If I fall in the shower there is no way I will be able to reach all the way up to the shower head to activate the little siren. Maybe I could use it to summon my husband to bring me a towel if I do the laundry and forget to put a fresh towel out! I guess it is a "spouse summoner", other than that, I have no idea. :-) The only thing I would change is to make the readout on the clock darker and easier to see. The Sony was better at that. I can't to speak to how long it will last. We have had other Sangean products and they have lasted a long time. I expect this will be the same. ***UPDATE*** it’s October 2023 and this radio is still working. :-) ***UPDATE*** it finally died in November 2025. It lasted 14 years. Worth it. We bought the same thing to replace it.

Excelente producto. Es el segundo que compro pues mi hijo (12) siempre lo sacaba de mi baño para usarlo cuando se bañaba. Ante tanto uso, decidí mejor comprarle el suyo y ambos somos felices. Él solo lo usa con el enlace a Bluetooth y yo lo uso tanto en Radio como con Bluetooth. Muy recomendable.

Best shower radio out there! Great reception, good sound, batteries last forever, and feels like it's built very solid. Only con is really just it's big size... probably the biggest shower radio out there as well. I highly recommend it though.

H201, H202. I have one of each. Can be tuned exactly to AM in Australia, needs to be changed to the AM tuning step 9kHz, instructions are on page 9 in the manual. It then sets exactly to 774 or whatever.

Eats batteries.
