Review on πŸ”‹ Compact and Versatile: C. Crane CC Solar Observer Wind Up Solar Emergency Crank Radio with AM, FM, NOAA Weather, LED Flashlight & Cellphone Charger by Robert Hayes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Designed to fall and break

If I didn't live offline I wouldn't buy this radio. This is the best for listening to battery powered radio only. The weather channel is also very useful. Excellent localized information. 3 double A batteries even work for a while. The grip is probably only good if you were lost and penniless. The solar panel works in full sun. This is where I lose respect for this product: it's meant to fall and break. It's hard with a weak cheap antenna. If the antenna breaks, you're left with a radio that doesn't work either. At this point I tear off the binding wire for a makeshift antenna. I have bought 6 of these in 3 years. Also this radio is the best I have found for offline living. However, as I said earlier, radios are designed to fall and break. This is guaranteed to happen to anyone who actually uses this radio.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Crumpled
