Jensen Under Cabinet PLL Digital AM/FM Clock Radio - JCR-260, is made by Audiovox. The list price is around US$19.99.
The Jensen JCR-260 under cabinet radio works fine but with some draw backs. The speaker is small and thus sounds small with very little base. The controls for changing AM to FM, changing stations, and going to the pre set memory stations are confusing and take some getting used to. The front LED read out background color is red not blue. The correct measurements are 7"deepx 8 1/2" wide x 1 3/4" thick. For the money the radio works fine and is the only under the counter radio available that I have found that does not have a CD player, which I did not want.

GPX KCCD6815DT Under-Cabinet CD Player with AM/FM/Weatherband Radio, is made by GPX. The list price is around US$79.99.
This seemed to be a great buy. We got it on sale at Target for like $35. However, it had this alarm that came on by default and would start going off all the time. The terrible manual didn't tell how to get it to go off. We finally figured that out, but even with batteries in it, and plugged into a surge protector, it kept resetting itself and that alarm came on by default. We were woken up in the middle of the night and weren't too happy about walking into the kitchen to turn it off. I've never gotten any other GPX product, but don't plan to. Their web site was no help and terrible documentation that came with this product.

GPX KCCD3004DP Under-Cabinet CD Player with AM/FM Tuner, is made by GPX. The list price is around US$69.99.
This CD player is ok. I don't get a lot of radio stations with it compared to my other radios. I don't like that the remote doesn't work the radio or volume only the cd player. I wouldn't have rather paid a little more for a better one.

Sony ICF-CD73V Shower CD Player/Clock Radio (White), is made by Sony. The list price is around US$79.99.
This one has it all: flat bottom for a shelf plus top loop for hanging; digital tuning for the radio - not the cheap dial found on other models; sealed CD player; totally waterproof even under the direct shower stream; and by-the-way terrific sound.
If you want the family to be happy with the shower radio, get this model.

Salton Wet Tunes WT50RD Shower Radio (Translucent Red), is made by Salton. The list price is around US$24.99.
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.

Memorex MC1008 Shower CD Radio, is made by Memorex. The list price is around US$99.99.
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.
