Review on πŸ“» Kaito KA580 Digital Solar Dynamo Crank Emergency Radio with Real-time Alert, MP3 Player & Phone Charger (Black) by Cindy Lloyd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great radio but stopped working after a few months

I was initially impressed with this radio. I wrote a rave review and ordered a second one. But after 6 months of daily use, both radios stopped working despite being stored indoors and used with care. Neither the handle nor the solar panel nor the USB input charge the radio. It works for a while if you put in new AA lithium batteries, but won't turn on after 8 hours of use. Radio carefully and tried to find the same BJY 18650 battery on the internet. I couldn't find a replacement on either Revain or ebay. My advice: don't trust this as an emergency radio. He can and will fail you at any time.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Okay mostly but...
