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

This is an amazing little emergency radio, with hurricane season approaching I needed a new one in case my power goes down again. Things I like - super bright flashlight, reading light, 4 ways to power it (crank, solar, AAA option, and built in rechargeable), and it picks up the NOAA radio frequency in my area really well, and also has shortwave and FM, it's also small, well-built and solid.

Awesome product for power outages or camping. Easy to use. Radio, lights and the ability to charge your phone. Small and compact.

I rarely give or read five star reviews, but this one comes close. It's a great little unit and has all the features you could want or possibly use in an emergency or portable unit. Its small but seems really solid and everything it claims is accurate. Why not five stars, two small reason - the solar battery charger and hand crank charging. Actually to solar unit is really a maintainer. Likewise it takes a lot of cranking (8 to 15 minutes) to charge the internal batteries. Both of these shortcomings are disclosed in the manual but neiIsther should be an issue if the unit is kept charged and ready for use. Finally the compass on the handle is a nice touch.

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.

Excellent radio quality and various light functions! It’s great to have so many alternative power sources, too, in case of different emergency (or daily use) circumstances. I haven’t tried the phone-charging function yet but am extremely please with this, especially after the aggravatingly tinny sound quality and weak, erratic lighting of an earlier emergency radio/light. This one is a pleasure to use and will be indispensable in case of real emergencies.

This little radio is a life saver. Battery life lasts forever, you can charge your phone, flashlight, vape, etc off of it. The radio is great, the siren is an added bonus.

It arrived quickly and intact. Very portable, very well made, and easy to understand and use. The reception is great and easy to hear. I love the fact that it has five different power sources. I bought it for my daughter who lives in a rural area of Ohio that seems to get more than it's fair share of bad weather. She absolutely loved it and was so glad I purchased one. Definitely would buy again!

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.
