Durability and Design

Pros:

  • "This little shower speaker is the perfect gift for anyone living in a dorm, small apartment or shared living space."
  • "Can also take quite the beating, it’s fallen a couple times but then again not suction cups are perfect."
  • "I've been using it for over 2 years at this point and it's still going strong!"
  • "I am autistic and showering can be difficult for me sensory wise. Having something to listen to as a distraction is so helpful and this speaker works great for me."

  • "This little speaker has good sound. I put it on the outside of my kitchen window facing my backyard and I enjoy listening to my Pandora selections."

Cons:

  • "This is Chinese junk, don't waste your money."
  • "As the title says this stopped working after using it twice."
  • "I haven’t owned the product 60 days and it no longer works."
  • "The controls are hard to see because they're only indented without any color."
  • "The speaker us great. Price is great. Only negative would be that the suctioning doesn’t hold well on tile wall."
  • "The suction cup is weak for the size of the speaker."
  • "The suction cup isn't very good, so it doesn't stick very well in the shower and often falls down."
