Review on 5000mAh Solar Hand Crank Emergency Radio for Hurricane, Weather Radio by TENROOP - Upgraded 4-Way Powered AM/FM/NOAA Weather Alert Portable Radio with Flashlight, Reading Lamp, Power Bank, SOS Alarm-Blue by Bernard Her

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No digital tuning, no shortwave, no top strap

I haven't used it much or for long but I've had trouble getting a local FM station and the sound was tinny. I think a digital tuner would be nice. The one with wheels looks very old fashioned. Also, the wrist strap isn't as comfortable for hanging in a tent or on your shoulder - I prefer a sturdy top loop. Most importantly, there are no short waves. It could make a difference! and i like my bbc. Other lights and alarms seem to be working fine; I haven't tried solar charging yet. It's very small and of course I don't trust it in the rain.

Pros
  • 4-Way Power Supplies - This weather radio has multiple backup power options - 4 power supplies including handle, solar panel, 3 AAA batteries (not included), and USB-to- Type-C port to easily power the built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, keeping the radio running for a long time when the AC power is off and the batteries are dead. Switch on anytime, anywhere. Stay online all the time.
