I just got this item and had not seen one before, but was able to just crank it by hand a few times, turn it on, and was listening to a very detailed weather report within about a minute of opening the box. Very cool little device. I live on an island in hurricane territory and this is forecast to be a heavy hurricane year. I feel much better knowing I have a way non-battery:electrical-outlet-dependent way to access emergency information should I lose internet and cellular data access.

You get what you pay for when it comes to quality. But it’s great value when it comes to options and features. Lots going on with this item. Ability to use batteries was the deciding factor. Great overall. Got it for emergencies.

This little thing is pretty good, especially if your working on a small budget bug out bag. This radio can take 3 AAA batteries, and it has a lithium ion battery that can be crank charged, or solar charged. This radio also features two lights, one of which is pretty bright, however the other one is decent. The radio itself is pretty good for $20 it can even connect to local weather broadcasts and AM or FM radio like usual. Overall for twenty bucks this little thing offers a lot and can even charge usb devices. I feel this would be great for either a bug out bag, or even hiking and camping, because it also features an SOS mode so if you get separated from a group you can emit a loud siren and flashing red light.

I never write reviews but I was so impressed with this radio that I had to. The exterior is covered with plastic that is durable and tough. The lanyard to clip it on is a nice touch. Once the batteries were charged, the radio ran about 50 hours before the batteries needed to be recharged – left it on and let it run until they died. Solar panel worked very well. Same with the hand crank. Only thing that wasn’t up to par with every other feature was the phone charger. It works, but it drained the battery immediately. However, I didn’t buy this for the charger, and the one on our last weather radio was the same. I am very pleased with this product and no regrets about buying.

For it’s size, about the size of your hand, it has one of the larger USB battery backups (2000mAh) available.Solar panel has a charging light, so you can position it for best charge.Crank handle is not fragile, so unlikely to break in use.Good radio reception.Siren, and red light – not all weather radios have that.This radio is marketed by more than one seller, in various colors, so you may get different offer prices.

Very easy to use, multiple ways of charging, durable (I’m pretty clumsy) take it with on road and camping trips as it does have the Weather station, has both FM and AM station, two different lights, sos “siren” that’s pretty loud.

I originally bought this product to simply store in case of an emergency/power outage. Then we realized it was GREAT to use while out on a “no access to an electrical wall outlet” day (setting upvolunteering for civic events, hiking trails, weddings/receptions)–pretty much anywhere that either an outlet is not present or it’s unacceptable/bad taste to plug into one while at an event. The fact that it’s solar and hand crank chargable ironically makes is even more convenient than my regular external phone charger, as I not only have to remember to fully charge it (takes time too if forget), but it will deplete within a few hours of use. No, this bad-boy, I can simply set in the sun to charge back up–or turn a bored kid loose on the hand crank. Winner! The two light sources are excellent when I’m out as well (as compared to my straight external phone charger), as they keep me from having to run down my cell phone battery as we need light to finish putting away outdoor items at an event. I have been so pleased with this unit, that I have bought 5 more (2 for adult-children’s homes/family, 1 for uncle in wildfire zone prone to electrical shut downs, and 2 for homeless gals so they don’t have to scratch to find a place open/willing to allow them to charge). Superb!

When Hurricane Florence came into SE North Carolina we lost all power and for a couple days couldn’t even fire up the generators. During that period that little hand cranked radio was our lifeline to NOAA weather, local radio reports, keeping our phones charged in hopes of returning cell service and light during the scary screaming winds at night. I must have turned that crank a million times, but it never failed us, and when it was all over it went right into the emergency supplies to be ready for the next one.

Some folks commented too small. My intent was for an emergency kit so I didn’t want something huge. This is just right. The sound of the radio is fine. And I get thdzweather station for this area and several major AM and FM stations. The solar light is bright and so isxthe “torch” flashlight. I’ve tested everything off the LI-ION battery. Haven’t put the triple As in yet. Haven’t tried charging my phone on it yet either.

Actually really like it. I take it to the pool and the beach decent radio. Convenient and small fits easy in a back pack. Many uses from emergency situations to a plain radi9 that can charge your phone. I would recommend it especially if you are prone to losing power, camping, fishing, etc… easy to use and well worth the $29.
