Kaito Voyager ECO Emergency Radio KA336 AM/FM NOAA Weather Alert 5-Way Powered Solar Crank Radio Receiver with LED Flashlight and USB Mobile Phone Charger Yellow

I’ve purchased several radios for emergency 72 hour kits. This Kaito brand is my favorite and seems to be the best quality.

The charge doesn't last long, though the crank works. Maybe it was designed with the assumption that people would just put batteries in it, and not use the USB charger. Also it doesn't pull in a very strong signal, probably because the antenna is so short. I can hear its siren going off loud and clear, but then I'm lucky to hear the specifics from the weather service. The radio works, too, if you want to use it for music.

The media could not be loaded. I'm actually really happy to have this in since there are fires and power outages right now. Just last night, I had a power outage.So far, the LED is very bright. The radio aspect of it works fine. I think the mix of reviews is just due to geography. The sound quality overall is great and it's easy to finds radio stations for me at least.In regards to build quality, it's solid. If you have ape strength though, be more careful with the hand crank and the antenna. I know people who are rough with everything and get frustrated and blame whatever they broke for breaking lol.I love the design too. It's minimalistic and the color scheme is like a bumble bee. Not some ugly yellow, but a yellow that compliments the black.Aside from the radio, lights, and hand crank, I have some other features to test out. Those were just what I thought were the most important so far. I'll edit later.

This little radio has surprised me. I wasn't expecting much for a $20 radio but I am very pleased. It's reception is great on all bands. It has multiple charging options as well as two battery options (internal battery or battery compartment). The weather alert feature has successfully notified me of several severe storms which is very helpful living here in "Tornado Alley." Are there higher quality emergency radios out there?....of course but probably not at this price. I will definitely be buying more of this model for family and friends. Well worth a mere $20!!!

Radio works great! Everything's on point. Crankin' it is awesome. Never had a crank radio and throughly enjoying it. The stations I want come in nice and clear, good reception. Perfect size to go anywhere with you. Taking this baby camping soon and I'm excited to really test her out and about. Got the exact same one for my mom for Mother's Day and she loves it as well, just what she wanted.

A very inexpensive emergency radio so I didn't really expect much but terrible internal assembly quality. Poor soldering. USB charge port was intermittent so I opened the radio and discovered the USB charge connector was poorly soldered. Also found several other components needing reflow including the volume pot (control) which caused intermittent sound when the unit received light taps on its enclosure. Just setting it down caused disrupted sound. FM reception quality is fair. AM reception seems okay but sound suffers from a "digital" background noise when listening at lower volume levels. Weather reception is good. No earphone jack but I will add one if I keep the radio. I was going to purchase several of these for the family but decided to buy one and see if it was any good. I would not recommend unless you are an electronics technician with troubleshooting and soldering skills.

This is a good little radio. It works well and can charge itself all day without turning off.Something strange I notice with it though: when I put batteries in it and they go dead I switch the radio to internal battery and it makes the audio go off every few minutes for a minute or two then the audio comes back on. The only way to be able to make it not do that is to take the batteries out and have it only using the internal battery. Weird.I use this everyday at work and aside from using my own batteries and that glitch it works super well for me!

You get what you pay for. I was very unhappy with sound quality from the start but passed it off for features. I have used it only several times and it broke. The wind up charger does not work. Solar is a joke. Its a very basic battery powered poor quality radio with a flash light. I will buy a name brand and spend the money on the replacement.OH reception stinks.
