Review on ๐Ÿ“ป Green Kaito KA332W Portable Hand Crank Solar AM/FM NOAA Weather Radio with Cell Phone Charger & 3-LED Flashlight by George Walker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fragile solar/crank radio bad tuning

I use this radio outside when I'm working on my car. The solar panel holds a charge well. You can also connect a micro USB cable (not included) to charge it with your phone charger. The sound quality is so-so. It's quite loud, but rather "tinny", which is probably due to the small speaker. My main complaints about this radio relate to its ability to tune into radio stations. The scale markers are turned off. So if you want to hear 104.7 you may need to set the dial to 103. Once you've tuned into your favorite radio station, it's great NOW. I can almost guarantee that by the time you use the radio in a day or two, your previously "tuned" station will be long gone. You have to fiddle with the tuning knob to tune to the same radio station again. UPDATE 9/27/19: It's been a little over a year since I got it and now my radio is dying intermittently. There is no sound when I turn the dial. When I'm tuned into a station and the radio (mounted in the sun for solar power) is playing, it just stops playing any sound for no apparent reason. For this reason I have downgraded my rating on this radio from 3 stars to 1 star.
