Review on πŸ”΄ Red Eton FRX2 Hand Turbine AM/FM Weather Radio with Smartphone Charger (NFRX2WXR) by Beverly Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

. was so weak that it could not crank properly for more than 30 minutes

The battery was so weak that it could not crank properly for more than 30 minutes. (We have another one, same, old but working). Took the radio to a local battery shop yesterday where they make a replacement battery for less than $13. (Eaton teases customers online by showing what the battery for this radio looks like, but they don't sell them, nor do they answer calls or emails. However, the local battery shop had to make a new battery pack when the batteries our bissel are go-vac ran out of battery and we were told that bissel never made or intended to make replacement batteries for this $50 item backpackers would be delighted suggest if there are any other old models on the shelf, says Eaton to crank them all up every 4-6 weeks to prevent battery cell loss.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
