    5.0 out of 5 stars much nicer than my last weather radio
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024
    My last weather radio was about two decades old, so it was time to replace it and when i saw this one on sale on Black Friday, i decided to order it for myself.

    I haven't needed it yet, but I did test it out a few times to be sure it will work when i need it and I'm very pleased.

    Unlike my previous weather radio, this one is a full AM/FM radio and it picks up several local music stations just as well as it picks up the weather band. Even without the antenna raised, it gets pretty good reception indoors, and the reception is even better near a window or with the antenna raised. It's not super high-fidelity or anything, but you can definitely hear everything that's being broadcast without any kind of serious distortions beyond the little static that all manual radios have.

    It seems to charge very well just from the light of my desk-side lamp and I tested the crank-charge function right out of the box. Just a few seconds of cranking gave me enough power to listen to the radio for several minutes (it probably would have continued to work for longer, but by then I was satisfied and sick of listening to the automated voice), and it doesn't take too much force to crank it up, so it shouldn't be too difficult even for people with arthritis in the hands like i have. The USB ports seem to be working well, too, so plenty of ways to keep it charged.

    The crank and antenna both collapse when not in use to avoid accidental damage and snagging on things if you're shuffling around with it in the dark.

    The flashlight isn't the brightest you'll ever seen, but it's strong enough to make it easy to find your way in the dark, and the button to turn on the flashlight is very easy to find by touch.

    It's not overly heavy but is definitely very solidly-built and seems very sturdy overall. I don't have any complaints and I'm pretty sure this will still be serving me well a decade or two from now.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good design, but I have a slight concern that the rechargeable battery will be permanently dead in an emergency
    Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2016
    I bought this in the winter, so I didn't test the solar charging. But it does work fine as a crank charger. When I bought it, the battery was charged enough to test the radio and the flashlight. Both work just fine. It comes with two cables: a USB type A to mini-USB cable for charging the radio from a USB type A port (the type you're used to); and a specific cable for charging an external device. The second cable has kind of a strange connector. It resembles an audio jack on one end (which plugs into the radio), and the other end has an adapter to USB type A. I've seen this type of cable before on small, cheap devices. It's not an audio cable, and it's not a USB cable, so you probably don't have any spares. You had better not lose it if you want to charge your phone with this device. The small connector type was probably chosen because it saves space on the radio, since the radio was designed to be so small.

    That's another thing about this radio. It's tiny. Five inches long. That's probably a good thing, since it's meant to be put in an emergency kit that you take with you. The battery is a reasonable size (1000 mA-hrs, 3.6V). It's not going to charge your phone 100%, but I would guess that the radio would last at least five or six hours at a reasonable volume.

    The radio has some quirks that took a star away from my rating. First, the instructions say that if you leave it inactive for 60 days, you should fully charge the battery again to prolong its life. While I understand this from an electrical perspective (it's generally bad to drain rechargeable batteries past a certain point), the design should have been such that it completely shut down at a certain voltage and didn't drain the battery down to zero. I'd rather not have to "maintain" my emergency kit every two months.

    Second, the solar panel is too small. They say you can get a full charge in ten to twelve hours. That's a really long time. But I guess that's what the crank is for, and it's also a result of the device being so small.

    Overall the build quality seems pretty solid. It's cheap plastic, for sure, but it feels well-put-together. The crank especially is an important part that needs to not bust, and I felt like it was pretty good quality.

    I'm pretty impressed with the design that has three separate possible power inputs (charging cable, hand crank, and solar panel), and also has the five important functions (weather radio, AM radio, FM radio, flashlight, and device charger). I think it's important that an emergency product works without the user having to figure it out, and this one does.

    I can forgive the small solar panel, but I'm slightly worried that the battery may *DIE* die (like, for good) sometime before I need this in an emergency. Why did they include that note in the instructions? If the battery charges back up five or ten years from now, great! - This product would merit five stars from me. But seeing as I can't prove that, the concern takes that five star rating down to four.

    Nice solar radio, works very well. I got it for emergencies in case of bad weather. I like the dual power, battery in addition to hand crank. Also can charge my cell phone. Small but it does a good job. Love it.

    This radio is really practical. It's small and light, taking up very little space in my emergency backpack. Has a good sound on all three bands (although I haven't tested it yet anywhere outside my home.) can't beat it for the price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE IT! Much rather have it and not need it.... than to need it and not have it.

    In the PNW we often lose power due to windstorms. It happened to me 12/19. I got tired of sitting in the dark and not even being able to listen to the radio. As soon as the power came back, I ordered this. Arrived next day (prime). And for $16??? I checked all functions straight out of the box except solar charging, and all worked perfectly (after cranking for 3 - 5 minutes per the instructions). This will be an invaluable piece of kit to have on hand. A no-brainer purchase.
