NOAA Weather AM FM Portable Radio with Best Reception,Flashlight, Earphone Jack,Battery Operated Radio by 3X D Cell Batteries or AC Power for Hurricane Emergency Use,Plug in Wall by PRUNUS J15WB

This is a simple, well-designed NOAA weather radio that is quite nice for the price. A variety of stations are easily tuned in and the sound quality is good unless you crank the volume to max (why would you?) when it gets a bit tinny. Have not experienced an emergency situation yet but if/when I do, will learn how well this performs in those circumstances.

Love it. Works good so far. Had to use it twice so far.

Seems like a descent radio for the money. The large speaker (compared to other weather radios of this type) sounds better than expected. With good volume output. The radio is very light weight . The additional weight of the three "D" batteries make it seem more stable when sitting on a table.All the frequency bands tune pretty good. Our house has a metal roof, so the best reception on the weather band is on the back porch. I can receive weather band in the house but the antenna must be parallel to the floor or close to a window helps tuning. Walking around with the radio to tune may be required. I can tune three different weather band channels at my location. The tune light works good on FM but not so much on weather or short wave. The volume knob is kinda hidden under the non-folding handle. This protects it yet can be a slight hinder to reach, but not a huge deal.Wasn't interested in the hand crank feature or cell phone charging that doesn't work well in other radios. Wish the handle folded. Would be nice if it would run off of a 12 volt cigarette plug or USB plug, but no joy. Only 110/120 house voltage plug or the three "D" batteries when the power goes out. Not sure how long the "D" batteries last, but am sure it would be a few days. Would buy again. Would make a good gift for those who don't know they need one.

Great little radio

Received NOAA weather in my rock and metal-roofed house. My two other radio shack weather radios could not pick up the station in the house. Weather radio is reasonably clear. FM/AM came in clearly. Sound is fine. Sturdy plastic - does not feel cheap. Chose this model for the 31" antenna and price. I wanted an expensive radio for weather but thought I would try this radio based on reviews and price before forking over the dough. Very pleased with purchase so far.

While you won't get everything for this price you already knew that. I forsook the cranks and solar panels of the other radios in the hope that my money would buy me a good - sounding small radio. This is a good- sounding radio. No cool looking preset buttons. Who even needs that though?This radio is as simple as it gets, and that's great. The speaker seems to measure 2 3/4". I was hoping for 3" but like I said, it sounds pretty darn good for a cheap radio. A very long antenna; gets more FM stations than my car radio. The 'flashlight' will get you down the hall at night, you could read a map with it . That's not why I bought it. I bought it for the FM and NOAA bands. I find the AC plug in and the 3D size battery combo more practical than the recharging mode of so many other radios. Let's not forget about the headphone jack! It sounds marvelous in there! Get some headphones! I'm gonna be very happy with this little guy.

This Prunus J 15 weather radio is useless!!! The only thing on it that works is the flashlight built into it! Nothing else works! Manufacturer refused to replace it! I received it from Amazon 12/31/24 and did not open it until the severe weather threat 3/15/25. It is dead. Nothing works but the flashlight! It is past Amazon return period and mfgr. will not replace it! I rated one star only because I had to select a star rating to post this!

Works great! All channels are clear, no static. Easy to use and not too large on my counter.
