Review on Kaito KA600 Emergency Flashlight Real Time by Tim Knain

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Battery drain and fire hazard

I finally needed my Kaito Voyager Pro radio. Had no power for two days but pulled out the radio to turn on the phone charger and get some info on the radio wave. I always charged the internal battery when a storm was raging in the area. He died within 5 minutes. No, Biggie, switched to AA batteries that haven't been used. For some reason they were exhausted. I put in new AA batteries and listened to the radio for a couple of hours, turned it off and back on a few hours later, the batteries died despite the power switch being on the internal battery/adapter. Basically, this thing is constantly draining your AA batteries, and the internal battery is garbage. The internal battery started smoking after I tried to recharge it. I have contacted support about the issues and am waiting for a response. I'll update this review depending on how they handle it, but for now I would avoid this device. My friend had the same with the same model. He warned me not to buy it but I figured it was just an accident for him. But no. Almost set my house on fire for what was supposed to be an emergency tool.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Secret
