NOAA Weather Radio FM AM Shortwave, Emergency Radio 5000mAh Solar Crank

This radio seems to be treated high quality according to the research I did on it. I'm glad I made the decision to go worth this particular radio. The radio has multiple ways of using it. It has an alarm that you can set for immediate emergencies in your local area.

Great product has been very useful

I really like this unit's feature combination. Excellent front panel readability w/optional backlighting, a very bright and dual-setting flashlight, very bright and dual-setting reading light, "SOS" noisemaker, phone-charger port, AM/FM/SW/weather radio plus weather-alert, and especially its ability to run off of 3xAAA batteries or its internal, hand-cranked-rechargeable battery. It has a carrying strap, carabiner and includes the USB cable to charge it. This selection of options seems to be a PERFECT choice for an emergency-use radio/device. The "regular" (non-discounted) price is about $4 higher than similar devices, but I feel the extra is worth it to offer the AAA dry-cell battery option, LCD panel and the "SOS sound" button. (I bought mine during a $4 discount campaign, so = WIN!) The speaker is strong, with no distortion at max volume. The solar panel on top is NEVER going to charge the battery from zero, but they say so in the product insert - - it's intended to "keep the battery topped off" (lol). (Don't expect it to charge in the sun.) They say the hand-crank will need between 8 and 15 minutes to charge a phone from dead to usable, which I think is entirely fair. I spent about 7 minutes cranking it, and the onboard rechargeable battery didn't move from 75%, so I think their time estimates and internal battery capacity are both accurate.) In short, I feel this manufacturer is being honest about their product's features, properly setting expectations, and delivering an excellent mix of features at a very fair price in this small form factor. I recommend one of these units for you home as an emergency-use radio and room/reading light during a power outage.

Still trying to set it up! Hurricane LaLa, now Lowell! Love it. It is small and very light!

Ok. Let's be real here. This is not a 5 star item. I gave it 5 stars because it actually worked out of the box for like 35 bucks. I wanted a weather radio with am/fm, a couple of lights and a couple of different charging options. I read tons of reviews on this product. The lesser reviews probably got a bum product. Stuff happens, quality control is nil in today's world. Most of the 5 star reviews are hilarious....it isn't that great for 30 some bucks get real. Flashlight and reading light have 2 settings...both probably eat the battery alive. Tuning is very very touchy, it's not digital...want that..buy that....tuning is more sensitive than my second wife. I live in a metro area, stations are strong, just touchy. Weather radio picked up NOAA just fine. SW what can I say picked up 30 stations of garbage. If you are buying this for SW I have to ask why ? Get a dedicated SW radio. From some other reviews. Antenna...does not swivel...don't try. Solar charge....read the darn manual, this is the equivalent of a trickle charger... it helps that's all. Hand Crank....again read the manual 8 to 10 min of crank at 2 cranks per sec. to turn on a dead Cell Phone....it helps that's all. Compass...cute feature, inaccurate as **** if you are relying on this you're already toast. Sound....like an 80's handheld radio...very good for voice and real low music but, quite loud enough. Unit as a whole......what I expected for the price. I wanted am/fm/weather/ lights/charging options. The bar was set low for this one and it crossed the bar. If I get 1 yr out of I'm good. It is a super basic for short term emergencies NOTHING ELSE, was why I bought it for now. If it doesn't die or start melting withing 1 yr. I'm content lol after that all bets are off. So again be real, if you are relying on this to be your lifesaver...you are probably already in trouble but, if you grab this with a clear head, based on yoir $$ at this time, it covers your basics yet, patience is required for tuning frequencies. Otherwise upgrade. For now I knew what i was buying and it does barely what I asked. And yes I got the crooked tuning dial...whatever for 30 some bucks I will find what I'm looking for or I would have upgraded to digital. P.S. if you live in the styx like I used to this probably won't work for you. Reception is not strong enough. City is fine. In rural areas, you may want to check out their stronger digital products.(I had dedicated equipment for when I lived on a farm) Cheers.....hope this helps !

I'll be perfectly honest I bought this for the NOAA weather stations and the reading light and being solar powered. That it does excellently. The rest of the radio reception is sketchy at best the antenna sucks. When camped out I use a jumper wire to connect it to my ham radio antenna and then I get something resembling decent radio reception in the other bands. This is this is one of those you have to push the button or hold it down so it scans through the frequencies. It only stores the last frequency that it was on you can't program anything else. Needless to say it's a bit of an SOB if you're trying to go through this shortwave stations there's no jumping to the individual short way bands and adjusting from there you have to start at the top the bottom and go up or down through the scan feature. The alternative is even worse by having to push the button up or down individually. Other than that it seems like it's decent quality as far as construction goes the sound isn't too bad on it. And it does have if you want to turn it on the weather alert where it sits in standby mode and alert you if they have an emergency weather situation. Like I said it does what I bought it for so can't complain really if I want to listen to shortwave I have real radios for that and I don't have to worry about messing them up bouncing around on the dash of the truck

Mycket bra

Following the fires, in Australia, I wasn't going to get caught out without a radio of phone changer. This product meets the bill. While the quality of reception is not premium it is still usable. It will be one of those handy devices that I have in the cupboard.

Buen producto, cumple especificaciones. Punto de mejora mayor bateria recargable
