Review on Top-Rated 2021 Emergency Crank Radio - 4000mAh Solar Hand Crank Portable AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with πŸ“» Flashlight & Motion Sensor Reading Lamp - Cell Phone Charger and SOS Alarm for Home and Emergency (Orange) by Brandon Wynen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Dynamo charging for devices is what we need nowadays.

My family teased me for being such an emergency radio but changed my tune when we had major power outages last winter. Weather alerts aside, being able to charge a USB device when there is no electricity or batteries is very important these days. Important things: all 3 radio bands, dynamo and batteries, flashlight. Bonus: Solar powered. , USB output for charging a mobile device, reading light mode. Radio reception isn't great, but with the antenna up I have no problem picking up local stations (just not crystal clear). A reading lamp or task light is a nice touch. And portable power banks are handy, but the ability to charging a mobile device from this thing -- simply with a crank or solar power -- provides another layer of security when you're out of power. My only star is the placement of the SOS alert button. It's in a spot where it's easy to accidentally activate it, and it's a black rubber button. It should be in a recess or even under the flap and be more clearly marked with a light color.

Pros
  • New
Cons
