Does not work as advertised

4 months ago

The advertising for this radio gives the impression that the solar panel charges the radio. It does NOT do that. At best, it helps sustain the charge provided by the hard-wired plug. And it doesn't accomplish that very well. The charge runs down pretty fast. I purchased it hoping to use the radio during power outages that last several days in my area and was hoping to have a radio I could charge without power. That is not possible with this radio. I found no indication in the accompanying literature of how long I'd have to crank it to charge it. Judging from my attempts, that must take an exhaustingly long time. The radio would be fine as long as you have a hot connection and don't expect to charge it via solar, or the little crank.

No, I do not recommend this product

Solar charge failure

1 month ago

This was a gift. Seemed good at first- when in the sun the battery level display would cycle showing solar charging. Then this stopped - no more solar charging going on. Disappointed this failed with only a few months non-rugged use. Will consider exchange, as other reviews seemed to state the solar charge worked.

Great lil radio

2 years ago

This emergency radio is great for any indoor/outdoor area. It works great a standard AM/FM radio but also can provide weather alerts in the area. It also has a handy flashlight feature and can be easily recharged by solar, hand-crank or usb.

Nice radio for the price

Nice little radio for the price. It's lightweight and the flashlight is bright. The radio can be charged multiple ways. The sound is good and loud for a small radio, love the weather band and great to have when camping or hiking.

Arrived just as described. I feel more confident knowing I'll always be able to access information from the radio even after my batteries die. I love the crank-power option!

Radio works very well. Emergency weather alert is loud, but that is a good thing. Flashlight is bright. Radio in FM mode sounds clear. AM is just ok.
