Review on 🌞 Upgraded 2000mAh iRonsnow Solar Emergency NOAA Weather Radio Dynamo Hand Crank Self Powered AM FM WB Radios with 3 LED Flashlight, Charging Indicator, Smart Phone Charger Power Bank - Black by Steven Ferguson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well if you don't expect to charge the phone. (The updated version fixes the problem!)

Update! They fixed the phone charging issue by switching to standard USB connections like most USB batteries and more than tripled the size of the battery. This fixes the only issue I had with this unit so I'm updating it to 5 stars. Below is my original review of the old version of the product. (Still working after almost 3 years of use)---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------Radio, flashlight, Handlebar and solar charge work perfectly. There is a 5V charging output. limited in two important ways. First, as you'd expect, this device only has a tiny 300mAh 3.6V NiMH internal battery, so at best it can only draw enough power to charge your phone by a few per cent when you're not using the Twist want to turn on all the time. I don't consider this a scam as it only promises a few minutes of entertainment. My Nexus S 4G (1600mAh battery) went from 40% to 47% before the internal battery died. Second, the charging adapter (2.5mm to USB A) is unexpectedly so flimsy that it fell apart on the first try. connect it together. The force required to CAREFULLY insert the adapter into the cable broke the inside of the adapter the FIRST time. When you can safely insert the adapter into the end of the cable that came with it, secure it with tape and make sure there is some tension on it. Luckily I have plenty of other cables so I just cut it up and made my own cable so it works great for me but if you can't do the same don't count on the charging feature will help. I don't see why they didn't just plug the USB-A connector directly into the device like most USB chargers do, it would be less to lose (or break) and probably cheaper for them.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
