Review on Weather IRonsnow Emergency Speaker Flashlight by Jerome Godwin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good radio bad manual

This is a well made weather radio with multiple power sources: rechargeable battery / AA alkaline battery / solar battery / hand crank / USB port / AC power with USB charger (not intended). It comes fully equipped with a very functional radio. an appropriate tone for a packet. I bought this to replace another button weather radio when the buttons failed. This radio has a slider and control knobs. I expect to be more reliable. The reading light function is an unusual and useful feature. I gave up a run because of poor guidance. The manual does not accurately describe using a non-existent switch for the USB DC-OUT function and never mentions the location of the CHARGE switch. There's also what looks like fine-tuning a screwdriver that's not mentioned in the instructions. There's a red LED on the dial that I think lights up when you select CHARGE, but the LED lights up when the radio is tilted into ambient light, so not sure. Unfortunately, there is no positive indication of the completion of the charging process. I still think it's a good emergency radio.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
