RCA BRC10 Bathroom Clock Radio (White)

Most of the poor ratings of this clock radio are from folks who were expecting a shower radio--one that can be deluged with water and survive. Not this clock radio--this works perfectly as a radio that sits on your bathroom dresser to keep you company while you are getting dressed in the morning. It will not provide accompaniment for popstar wannabes when belting out tunes while bathing. The radio is well designed--it looks very much like an upright shampoo bottle, so it is discreet in appearance which works for a bathroom. We own the green one, and the entire radio--including the buttons--are of the one color tone. The screen light, when the backlight button is pushed, has a purplish glow. All the buttons are slightly recessed, which I assume, provides protection against moisture and small amounts of wetness. The battety compartment is screwed down, and must be removed with a screwdriver (I assume for the same reason the buttons are recessed), so make sure you use some long-lasting batteries. The AM/FM radio uses a digital tuner, which is great--no turning dials to find stations. You can save stations as presets, so no worries as to the radio getting accidentally bumped and your station getting lost in the bathroom shuffle. There is no external antenna, but the radio picks up our local NPR station clear and strong. the speaker is more than adequate for a bathroom--it actually can get quite loud. We aren't a household of bubble-bathers, so we don't use it for an extended period of time. There is no alarm function, so it is not designed to be a bedside radio. A great clock radio--recommended. Just don't bathe with it.

I wanted a small battery operated radio for my bathroom and this radio is ideal. It's narrow design fits well on my bathroom sink taking up no more space than a tube of upright toothpaste. The reception is adequate since I receive the stations that I listen to. I am satisfied with the performance of the product especially considering the price paid.

I ordered two different shower clock radios, and it wasn't even a contest: this RCA Bathroom Clock Radio is better by leaps & bounds. It's size and shape make it an easy fit on my shower caddy, and even looks like my shampoo bottle. The stations come in very clear (maybe not every single station, but that's to be expected) and I love, love, love that the tuner is digital, and easily changed with the press of a button - not like the archaic wheel like the other one I tried. My other favorite feature is the large, easy-to-read, digital clock! For me, that was the primary reason I made these purchases (the radio was just a bonus). The RCA model has a great time display, that even lights up in blue if you want. It's quite handy for making sure I stay on time with my busy schedule. The other one had a very small and tiny time display, and I was irritated each time I had to stop and move closer to it to tell the time (which was a waste of time). The only problem with this product is deciding which fun color you want, and how many to get! (I will most likely now get another one for our guest shower, and maybe another one for travel)

I bought this because I wanted a clock that I can refer to while showering. For that purpose, the item has been perfect. It is sturdy and attractive. However, when I use the radio it does not give a high quality sound. I cannot pick up most nearby stations with it.

Overall 3 Stars, has good sound and can tune stations pretty good. Only problem is that the buttons go bad that you use often, like On-Off and Tuning. This is my second RCA radio. The one I had previously had better selectivity...I can't explain why. _____________________________ Changed rating from 3-stars to 1 on Mar 28,2015, the unit does not maintain power.. ever time you pick up to make an adjustment and sit it back down it looses power. In addition the signal is distorted on many stations.. to late now to return now.. a waste of time on this radio.. however, the one I had before worked fairly well..

This radio was exactly what I needed... a small compact design to sit on my bathroom counter so I could listen to morning talk shows while getting ready in the morning. For the first week it was perfect, good sound, no issues. Then out of nowhere the static began. I would turn it on and it would sound perfect for about a minute then out of nowhere..... went to static. I couldn't figure out what the problem was and tried moving it to different rooms, areas in my bathroom, etc. and the static would not go away. Had to return.

Unfortunately, it is designed for use in a big city where you have access to numerous radio stations. In Cobourg, reception on FM is limited to two local stations. Unable to pick up any Toronto stations even though we are only 50 miles away.

A genuine morceau du merde. The radio died after ~2-3 weeks, the clock shortly thereafter. Luckily, the provider did not require me to return it for a refund.
