RunningSnail Hand Crank Radio with LED Flashlight, for Power Outage

SOLAR powered by the Sun . Has a bright light AM and FM radio . You can wind up to charge. Even has a USB to charger for your phone . Not expensive LOVE IT

For me it’s just perfect. All things works properly and size and color is kiut. 100% recommended.

The flashs light are really bright. Radio is easy to adjust channels for a clear signal and good volume. Works great as a back up battery for phones. The crank works well to recharge just takes more to time to recharge this way than expected. Overall works great and easy to use.

Love it! Can't believe something so small and inexpensive works so well . Holds a charge for hours after sitting in the sun Plus it has two sides with USB ports as a second method. 3rd is a hand crank , turns easily, but it does take a long time to recharge if that's all can you have in an emergency.. Good quality audio which is amazing but esp good having weather band. Even being so small, the flashlight is pretty good. (Photo in a dark closet. )Compact, great backpack size. More than worth the money and would be a thoughtful small gift.

Great Radio, i didn’t know if i was going to like it at first. But it has a bright light, sos mode, hand crank, loud speaker, 3 different setting, A.M, FM and weather. Reading light and the solar charges well. I used it at the drive inn movie theater.. bike rides strapped to my frame. Even comes with a clip so you can hang it. Hand crank works very well too, has a display to show you how Much battery is left as well. Uses the old android charger tho, not a c type charger but does have a USB plug in so you could charge other things with it as well, it’s deff a power bank. Green and black color is cool. I recommend this radio, your like it, trust me. Very handy. If there is ever an emergency, you won’t be sorry.

Radio worked well and solar and crank tested good as well. Can also usb-c charge it to use as just a power bank. So many uses. Crank or solar to charge its battery and run the radio or charge a phone later on or charge as you go.

Very pleased with radio. Will use for emergency/off grid. Found my local weather band and am/fm stations easily. Went through all the function and preform well. Manual states on full charge will deliver 9-10 hrs radio / 15-17 hours on flash light. The manual said radio hours may vary depending on the volume of sound used. 18 month replacement warranty. 30 day money back guarantee. Lifetime support guarantee. ([email protected]) Removable battery is a 3.7V 2000mah 18650 Li-ion. Manual also stated every few months battery should be recharged to help with life of battery. I added a photo of actual battery that I removed. I was very easy to remove and replace. Just two small philips screws from plate. Weight is very light at only about 1/2 pound. Size is compact at about 5 in. X 2 in. X 2 1/4 in. I was very surprised on quality and could hear weather report clearly on high at about 20 feet away. 1. Charged my phone by plugging in my charger cord from radio. Good for emergency power if needed. Will keep one in truck and in my outing gear. Manual states not to be used as a normal power bank. I figured it will be good when or if you are in a pinch. Cord supplied with radio is micro usb NOT type "C". Comes with micro usb x "I-phone" adapter included. My phone uses an android with a type "C" input so I used my own power cord. 2. Charged radio from a/c micro usb cord supplied with radio from my own a/c adapter. Only wished it would charge from type "C" and not micro usb is about the only negative I have with radio. Manual states it takes about 3 1/2 hrs to fully charge and it took a lil over 4 hrs when I did it. 3. Solar showed charging when placed even in very little light. In manual it states solar charging is difficult for full charging but for battery maintaining. Manual states solar panel life is 25 years when used 6 hrs. per day. Might need a new one in my lifetime lol. 4. Hand crank is easy to turn and showed charging while I was winding. Manual says 3-5 mins for intial use and wind 130 - 150 rpm for power to be generated. Says 7 hrs. Winding for full charge lol. Good news is 1 min winding 3-5 mins of radio and 45 - 60 mins of light. So there's that. A good price for about $16 it is a no brainier to have one or even 2 on hand (truck, home, cabin, camping/hiking, boat ect.) Hope this review helps. Added some photos from manual that it came with radio. I did add photos of manual to this review as well.

I originally bought this for camping since it is small, has a weather band, and has solar and hand crank charging capabilities. I've seen reviews that are critical of the sound quality. Considering it has a 1-in speaker it's as good as you can hope for; that is, the music is tolerable, tinny but tolerable. Voice quality, for example on weather radio, is very usable. It does maintain a charge sitting inside on a window sill (which admittedly reduces the amount of power the sunlight can deliver after being partially reflected and also filtered by the window glass.) The hand crank works about as described. You have to figure out how to hold it: hold the radio in your left hand and keep your fingers on the edges, then turn the crank with your right hand. It is more work than you might think to get a significant charge, but it's a usable system if you had a dead battery and were out in the boonies needing to get a weather report. The flashlight is phenomenal. I ended up using it on a fairly regular basis simply as a flashlight. I keep it on the windowsill near the back door, and it's easy to operate in the dark. It has a very bright beam which is more than enough for walking in the country with no lights around. It also shoots a pretty good beam about a hundred yards, which is handy for spotting critters out in the gloom. Up until last month, it did a fine job of being a regular flashlight and occasional weather radio. With no warning, it bricked; it didn't get dropped and the battery didn't appear to decline. It just refused to turn on or accept a charge. Since it was slightly out of the warranty. I decided to take it apart and look for trouble. There were no obvious problems with the circuit board or wires. The battery was somewhat swollen, however. There is a lot of electronic circuitry packed in a small case! It's surprising they can sell it for anything under $50. Typically, a dead battery still has a volt or at least a few millivolts left. This one had absolutely nothing. One time the radio got left on at inaudible low volume and ran the battery down. Perhaps this happened again and drove the battery into deep discharge. The mystery is that it wouldn't show a charge plugged into the USB, or with the crank, or in sunlight. I thought I would ask customer support if they had any notion whether it might be a cracked circuit board or maybe some kind of protective circuitry with the battery that would prevent the charge light from coming on if the battery was in deep discharge. To my surprise, they asked if I would send them a video of what the radio was or wasn't doing. They said they would probably replace it. I was surprised since they could have simply dismissed it as out of warranty a month. Instead, they very politely asked for proof of purchase, a video, and my shipping address. A replacement arrived in 3 days! Once again, I'm a happy camper, literally! I am blown away by how prompt, helpful and supportive they were. This radio fulfills its purpose with flying colors (with the caveat that its small battery is not going to do a whole lot to charge a dead cell phone). In an emergency, with some patient cranking, it could charge a cell phone sufficiently to get help. It's a great emergency and camping radio as well as a very usable flashlight. The customer service has been good earlier. Update 10/26/23: the first radio brick after about a year. I was able to contact customer service with questions about it and they replaced the radio. That one lasted nearly a year and a half. Now, the flashlight flashes like an emergency beacon, but will not produce a steady beam anymore. I would like to contact customer service but I can no longer find a link either on Amazon or at runningsnail.com. they have a web address info at runningsnail.com, but I'm getting a message that that no longer exists. It seems that this radio is good for about a year to a year and a half and then we'll need to be replaced. At $20 a year that is an option to consider. It may last longer if it's not used. I used mine as a flashlight probably every week. It is now only good for a strobe light at a party. The previous one is only good as a paperweight. I think I'll try at an American product, albeit more expensive.

It's a very handy flashlight. I like the radio feature, it's got nice dials that don't feel cheap, they're loud and pick up radio frequencies well. The flashlight has narrow coverage but concentrated field of view that can shine far. It will fully charge within 3 hours of charging it. I also like how it lets you charge the light with a hand crank and solar panels. It's a solid purchase and I think it could come in handy when things go south.

I think this item is really good. A great quality radio, plus a torch and it can be charged either by USB or solar panels which are on the top of the item. Its easy to use, durable and good value for money.

Good product, fast delivery A+

Very cool device that's compact and simple to use.
