Basically, avoid this product like the plague. I was attracted by the different features but none of it mattered in the end. I tried to attach this radio to the wall of my bathroom shower with the suction cups. However, the suction cups are the worst quality ever. I couldn't even get the things to stick on the wall. Eventually, i got a secure connection to the window. I thought everything was fine and about an hour later, i heard a crash coming from my bathroom. The suction cups un-sucked and the thing fell and broke on the bathroom tub. I returned it and got a $10 shower radio and it works great. Totally avoid this product, it's poorly made.

I was very excited to find this MP3 fog free mirror for the shower. It was great, sounded good in the shower, but in 2 days it was completely dead. I changed out the batteries, but that was not the problem. Thankfully BestBuy took the item back with out the box since it was a gift. I would not suggest getting this item to anyone.
What's great about it: This item was great for about 2 days. I loved listening to it in the shower, but after 2 days it completly died.

I was doomed from the start when I purchased this product. It violated my cardinal rule for gift giving "never give my wife a gift that needs to be plugged in", trust me on this one guys.
Although the concept is good the performance is lacking. There is no AM tuner and the FM tuner is not very strong. For example it could not pull in some stations that are in town that a radio sitting a few feet away received easily. The MP3 feature seamed to work fine but tuning it in was a challenge because of the controls (this is where my wife gave up).
Ergonomically the unit has some drawbacks. The radio is very thick and clunky, with the mounting bracket it stands out form the shower wall a little too much for comfort. Also the control buttons are all the same size and located closely together on the side in such a way that you can not see them. So when you push a button you're never sure what will happen.
For the price I expected more. I've purchased a lot of great products from Best Buy over the years this just wasn't one of them.
What's great about it: No one was injured during testing

I thought this unit would meet all my needs. Unfortunately, it only plays the radio and my ipod (in a strange position). Fogs up continuously and doesn't stick to wall because it is too heavy.
What's great about it: Plays mp3's
What's not so great: Doesn't stick on wall; Fogs up all the time

We thought this would be the perfect answer to a couple of purchases we had been wanting to make: a way to listen to our iPhones in the bathroom and a shaving mirror all in one. Well, the mirror itself was easy to install and I liked the clock that appeared at the push of a button. However, for music playback it was not great. Had a hard time getting it to consistently play, would often turn off after a song or two, and the mini plug cable that was included was of such bad mono-only quality we had to use another one we had around the house for stereo sound. Sound was really bad for spoken voice - I had been looking forward to being able to listen to NPR in the shower but this device couldn't do it. For some reason the FM transmitter doubles as a battery charger - why? It is too bulky for what it is. After giving it a try we decided to return it and get a different, lighted shaving mirror instead and a separate device for iTunes/iPhone playback. For the price it should work a lot better.
What's great about it: Nice looking fog-free mirror, like the clock
What's not so great: MP3 playback is spotty, the transceiver doesn't always work and the quality of sound that it puts out is horrible.

This radio is great, Ive had it for a few months now, and it works amazingly, the sound is great and has wonderful radio coverage, I see that most people got it so they could listen to their iPod I haven't used the iPod dock yet I only use it for the radio in the morning. The fog free mirror really is fog free and the clock is handy. The only problem that I've had with this product is that the suction cups don't stick to my shower, I don't even have tiles in my shower but it still doesn't stick, so its currently being help up by duct tape. Over all I love this product and definitely recommend it.
What's great about it: The Sound
What's not so great: It doesn't stick to the side of the shower

Bought two of these. Thought the first one was simply defective. But the second one proved to be a problem too. The idea behind this product is cool, if it actually worked! On my first one, the base for the Ipod did not work at all. On the second one, the signal transmitted to the mirror/speakers was botchy at best. Don't waste your time/money on this product.
