Review on πŸ“» Self-Powered Emergency Hand Crank Radio - Portable NOAA Solar Wind Up Weather Radio with LED Flashlight, USB Rechargeable, 1000mAh Power Bank for Cell Phone Charger (Red) by Neil Biondo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inexpensive for what it can do. Plus best as a clockwork USB charger.

Ease of use. It has a handle that can quickly charge or charge any USB item with little effort and time. Batteries, phones, USB rechargeable flashlights. That's convenient. And for that alone it's worth having a flashlight. However, this is not ideal for some people. Power and attunement control the ore, which isn't easy for those with arthritis or carpal tunnel problems. The range selector is quite simple. If you had a transistor radio in the 1960s, you'll understand. The sound is quite bright, very punchy, but definitely loud enough to be heard. This is an emergency kit. You will not buy it for music enjoyment. Even with a 72 double carpal plus, the spin isn't heavy for me and is surprisingly fast, although a 2 minute spin doesn't last long. You can get a quick wx report. Spin until it turns green, walk for a while, or let it absorb solar energy. This is not a super miracle radio. This is a very good emergency pocket tool with many uses. Something like a Swiss army radio. Slightly larger than an old-fashioned men's electric shaver.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Available in black only
