Summary: Don't buy this product
Review: In the paragraph 7 of this so-called "shower companion," it states that "do not use this product near water." Further in paragraph 21, under Damage Requiring Service, one of such conditions is "if the product has been exposed to rain or water." It seems that the manufacturer of Memorex MC1008 Shower CD Radio strongly advice its customers from using this product near water or getting it wet. My unit stopped playing CDs after only about 2 months and the radio reception is horrible. What a waste of money.

Summary: Awful terrible product
Review: It uses a ton of batteries (6 C), which drain faster than you can put them in, and the company doesn't even have the decency to include the power adapter. That would be one thing -- if the product worked. But it doesn't. It broke after about two weeks, refusing to play CDs at all. Plus, the radio volume reset to zero every time it was turned off. The device was poorly designed, with controls that were very unintuitive. Having read the other reviews of this product, it's clear that this was more than just bad luck on our part. Do Not Buy This.

Summary: Broken from day one
Review: Just got this cd player as a gift. The only thing that works is the clock. The radio and cd player don't work at all. Not worth 10 cents.

Summary: Played one cd and died! Junk!
Review: My parents introduced this as my "expensive" Christmas gift, so I feel bad that they wasted so much money.
I put in the 6 C batteries and by the end of the cd, they were nearly drained. I bought more, but I couldn't get anything to work - no radio reception, screen read "error" every time I put in a cd. I bought an adapter, but still couldn't get it to work again. I tried for so long to get it going. Wish I'd read the reviews on this site earlier. I would've accepted that it was a shoddy product much earlier. Memorex has some cheek!

Summary: Drains batteries, broke down after a couple of month
Review: My radio just could't get enough power. It swollowed batteries without first chewing them. Finally, it broke down two month later - the sound disappeared. No sound from radio and from CD. I decided not to repair, but to throw it away. Don't even want to waste shipping fees on fixing it.

Summary: Hard to use, broke very quickly.
Review: The batteries were extremely difficult to put into the unit, there being very little "slack" or room for the batteries to fit into their component.I bought the unit for my girlfriend for Christmas. How embrassing then, when I found out the unit stopped working the very next day after she got it!

Summary: Poor quality ... poor product.
Review: This is a terrible excuse for a shower radio. The AM and FM reception is terrible wherever you take it in the shower or not. When I tried using the antenna that is included, it still didn't work any better. The sound quality is poorer than expected. I didn't anticipate much from such a little system, but it's worse than anything I've ever experienced. To make matters worse this Shower radio eats batteries like crazy. We orginally used regular alkaline and the batteries died after about 2 days of use. We probably ony used it once or twice. Then we bought rechargeable batteries and it ate those faster than the alkaline batteries. This product is a total waste of money. Before this we had a Sony . I highly recommend it as it didn't eat the batteries and the radio reception was much better. The only downside is that it lacks the cd player. However you can't really use the cd player with the Memorex, because the batteries wouldn't last for more than 3 songs on a cd. Next project is to write to Memorex to complain about this horrible product.

Summary: Terrible product, terrible customer service
Review: This is the first online review I've ever written, but I was compelled by how awful this product was and then by how indifferent the customer service was. I got this as a gift, and thought it would be great for my 6 year old son who likes to listen to kids music while he takes a bath. But the CD player mysteriously stopped working after about a month. Then, when I finally got through to customer service, the woman on the line said they could do absolutely nothing for me without a receipt (even when I offered to give her the serial # off the player, which presumably would tell them it was just purchased and is still under warranty). When I asked to speak to her supervisor, she said she had none. I would never buy anything from Memorex ever again.

Summary: Mildew Works Harder
Review: This product is an embarrassment to the electronics industry. Sucks up batteries; CD stopped working after a dozen plays. Who tested this thing ... Al Queda? Because it certainly is trying to undermine any shred of decency that a store can have selling this junk!

Summary: Absolutely Thought about throwing it away
Review: This product was given to me as a gift. It looked nice, smelled like a new piece of electronics, however, I think I've spent more on batteries than was paid for the device. I would highly recommend looking at other brands.
