Great Emergency Radio for the Price - 5 Stars!
I recently picked up this emergency hand crank radio, and for just $15, I’m genuinely impressed with the quality and functionality. This compact little device offers several charging options: it can be powered by the built-in solar panels, a USB-C cable, or the hand crank—perfect for emergencies when you can't rely on standard power sources. The ability to partially charge a smartphone (about 25%) is a handy bonus, especially in situations where staying connected is crucial.
The radio itself is solid for the price. It picks up AM, FM, and NOAA Weather stations clearly, ensuring you’ll have access to important updates during a power outage or emergency situation. The speaker volume and sound quality are adequate for an emergency context, so you won't miss any critical broadcasts.
The flashlight feature is another plus—at around 80 lumens, it’s bright enough to light your way in the dark or signal for help if needed. The radio is also small and lightweight, easily fitting in the palm of your hand, making it convenient to store in your car, house, or emergency kit.
Overall, this emergency radio offers excellent value for the price. It’s a reliable, multifunctional tool that’s perfect to have on hand for unexpected situations. Five stars for the overall bang for your buck!

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. (info@runningsnail.com.cn) 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.
