NOAA Weather Radio, Emergency Hand Crank Radio with Solar Charger, Portable Battery Operated AM FM Shortwave Radio with LED Flashlight, USB Charger, Earbud Jack, SOS Alert for Home Survival Hurricane

I bought this for any situation that I might be in; storms mostly. It is small but powerful. We take it camping, long hikes and even put it in my truck when we go on trips or when I know there is a storm coming and we are traveling. We keep it charged and ready to go if needed. I know if we get stuck somewhere we can get updates on weather, send an SOS, keep a phone charged and have a flashlight, even if you don't have power, it has solar power and a hand crank. So far, it seems durable and reliable. We have never needed, yet but I am glad we have it, just in case we get stuck in a snow storm or lost in the woods.

We free range chickens and I wanted a good radio that I could put outside and play NPR because the voices help keep the predators away and these radios are wonderful! The battery lasts a very long time, they can get wet without breaking, the reception is good! I now have the most informed chickens!! Also I left it outside when it snowed and it was literally frozen and still worked when it unthawed!

This thing is pretty cool. Not only does it look great, but the radio functions are spot on, with great AM, FM, and Weather Band reception. The crank handle, in case batteries do go down, is very nice too (although I am told, it might require 1/2 hour of cranking to use), and the lights it offers (flashlight and reading light) are pretty awesome. On the downside, however, I put three AAA batteries in it when new, used it a little bit, and put it away for a few weeks. There still should have been a reasonable amount of battery juice left, based on how much (and how) it was used and the timeframe, but the next time I tried it, it was completely dead. I had to put three new batteries in to bring it back to life. It is does not appear to be kind to batteries, and I'm not sure why.

The product does everything it claims it supposed to do. It feels solid with no loose parts. The battery crank is solid and fits secure. I chose a digital display model as I have found they are easier to tune, especially to AM and Weather channels. The radio works great, and the speaker sounds good, without distortion or scratching. The instructions were in English and easy to understand. The flashlight and reading light have two settings for brighter and dimmer. I tested the USB port to charge my iPhone and it works fine. It's small and lightweight and perfect for my hiking bag, either inside or clipped to the outside, although I would recommend a stronger carabiner clip than the one provided.

The first one did not work at all would not charge, would not turn on ot show any kinds of life. Returned and ask for a new one. The second one works great. Arrived fast and was fully charged. Everything works great.

I just went through Hurricane Beryl, and what was shocking was that the power went out for such an extended amount of time. Even in Cat 3's, we've had power the whole storm or only lost power for a few hours. I've never worried about Cat 1/2 storms because they've been super mild with a little flooding, but this was insane with 2.5 million people with a loss of power. This storm happened July 8, 2024, and it's now the 17th as I write this, and I have friends/family STILL without power. So as you can imagine, sitting in the dark, no radio, no power, no way to charge things or know what's going on was super frustrating. In life, its best you learn from your mistakes and better prepare for the future, so this was definitely a wake-up call on a lot of things storm related. I cannot express how useful this "would have" been, and I'm hoping I won't need in the future, but a good emergency item to have. The LIghts: Very bright! Walking down a dark hallway, everything is lit up. Both the reading/and main light have two settings high and low. Compass/Strap: Both useful if you were maybe camping or you need to walk room to room or place to place. I might suggest adding an additional strap so you can carry it like a purse or crossbody if you need to travel a ways. SOS: Very loud! You can't just sit and listen to it, you press that button and your neighbors will hear it! Useful if you need help. Radio: I got a lot of static initially, but nothing the tuner and antenna did not fix. Radio volume can be set really high as well. Love that you can plug in some old school headphones. The NOAA stations are good if you like to hear monotone continual weather information. Charging: Super convenient. I 100% have been purchasing all my emergency equipment based on the ability to charge in at least 2 methods, solar and USB, and this has five!!! They all work really well. Some faster/slower than others, but it's awesome to know that this won't lose power even if you have no sun and no batteries. Score: 10/10, would definitely recommend to anyone who camps, or lives in an area with a lot of storms or power outages.

Awesome little radio, like that it can solar charge, wind up, battery charge, or be battery powered. very versatile.

I would really like to give this radio 5 stars but just can't. On the plus side it is a well designed and made unit, nothing flimsy or cheap about it. Definitely quality. All the functions work well and as a camping tent radio it will be a great addition to my tent. The issue I have with it is it's poor performance on receiving AM radio stations. I compared it to a Panasonic RF-2400D (a current model) which I have that performs well on AM. I live in central Connecticut and the big 50,000 Watt New York City AM stations come booming in on the Panasonic but are not received at all on this emergency/weather radio. To be fair, the Panasonic is strictly an AM/FM portable without any of the special features of the emergency radio but if AM is important to you consider the Panasonic, a solid performer. This emergency radio worked very well on FM and the weather channels. I did not try the short wave features at all. Poor AM performance is not unusual for radios these days and if it's not important to you, then you will really like this little radio.

Excellent product! It was what I looking for, multifunctional.

Ótima compra

Envio atempado, encomenda em boas condições. Exactamente como descrito. Excelente valor pelo investimento efectuado. Recomendo vivamente.

Buena calidad y recepción.

Tiene tantos botones y hace tantas cosas que tendré que estudiar el manualillo unos días para sacarle su rendimiento. Es muy interesante todo lo que ofrece y el tamaño que tiene, pero la verdad es, que espero no tener que usarla NUNCA....
