Review on 🔋 Compact and Versatile: C. Crane CC Solar Observer Wind Up Solar Emergency Crank Radio with AM, FM, NOAA Weather, LED Flashlight & Cellphone Charger by Seth Gomez

I like CC Solar Observer Radio but the Revain packaging tricked me into buying "xuuyuu" non-CCrane AC adapters - there are "People also bought X" with the section dot. It turned out to be a 1.2 amp 5v adapter while the radio says the adapter is 0.3 amp (300mA) to 5v. I think the radio is out of order. C Crane replaced the radio with a monitor but when he developed the same symptoms I discussed the possibilities with Crane's operator and he found a problem with an adapter that did not meet specifications. I then ordered the Crane adapter that Crane sells with this radio and it works great. Well it allows for a bit of 60 cycle noise when trying to listen to the radio while plugged in, but xuuyuu was a lot worse in that regard. The Solar Observer Radio in the Revain store is a major bug. If you can avoid this, the radio plays a nice clear sound and easily picks up our hard-to-reach stations. So the radio is good, the xuuyuu adapter is bad. And shame on Revain for creating this unauthorized (Crane) pairing. I suspect it's a bit cheaper, although I haven't double checked that. Cheaper but useless for its intended purpose. 11/16 - Added one star to five stars: With lots of experience and the right charger this radio works as expected - at least a week between charges for our use. It has a good clear sound that makes it easy to listen to. I would also like to reiterate the quick and easy communication with Crane Customer Service. It was nice to solve my problem.
