It depends on how much you want to spend. The Sony ICF-CD73 received a maximum 5 star award when reviewed by the Radio Listener's Guide and either 4 or 5 stars from the people who've reviewed it on the Amazon website:

It's got AM and FM bands, with a CD player (which recognises CD-R & CD-RW disks, so that you can burn your own favourite tracks to CD on your computer), with 15 presets and a clock. The only problem is that, at about 70 quid, it's far from cheap!

Basically the same radio without the CD player is branded as the Sony ICF-S79W, costing £57.74 and well-reviewed on Amazon:

I have the first one on the list that Chris gave you. It's a little pricey for just a shower radio but I would recommend it. I have had it over a year and have not changed the batteries yet, after using it every morning and most evenings. Because it has the CD function then we've also had it down in the garden when we've had BBQ's, etc. The slight downside is that because it is American, you don't seem to be able to get stations like 5live, so if you wanted to listen to sport then it won't work.

I got this one from Santa - it isn't brilliant but it is fine for listening to in the bathroom - and Santa was very pleased with the cost.

these are okay providing you dont spend too long in the shower
