Review on ๐Ÿ“ป Kozo's Top-Rated NOAA Weather Radio: Ultimate Emergency Companion with Dynamo Hand Crank & Solar Panel Charging, Extended Reception Range, Vibrant Yellow Design by Jared Bradford

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheaply made, check your AM and my side strap didn't work

The device was delivered on time. Feels flimsy and cheap in hand. Check your tapes, my FM and NOAA tapes worked fine. However, there is absolutely no AM band (even just 1 mile from the broadcast tower). Shortwave gave similar results, radio amateurs across the street from me were transmitting, but there was no signal at all, just buzzing like AM. 5V charging, complete with a charging cable, seemed to work. The light worked. I haven't tried the hand crank yet. I intend to return the item as I really wanted to use the AM tape with the train station tower next to me.

Pros
  • MULTIPLE CHARGING OPTIONS - A BIG PLUS! 4 charging methods: 500mAh rechargeable lithium battery, 3 x AAA batteries, solar panel and handle, the best charging method! No matter where or how long you are, you can always rotate the Hank for a minute or two and use all the features of the walkie-talkie! 1 minute cranking at approx. 130 revolutions results in 18 minutes of radio play and 30 minutes of light. That means you never have to worry about running out of power!
Cons
  • Crumpled
