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 Colin Zilinskas

Revainrating 2 out of 5

the handle fell off!

To be honest. I have had this radio for 6 years. On the other hand, it's been in my backpack the whole time and I've only used the crank twice in those 6 years for testing within a minute or two (I was very careful not to be rude). This time, upon inspection, when taking it out of the box, the handle simply fell off. Apparently the plastic on the pole inside the radio is broken. everything else still works. I suppose the plastic handle isn't the best idea? I expected for the price. a bit better! I mean, if he can't handle being in a backpack, how will he handle an emergency? I think the search continues!

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Great features but poorly engineered and built even worse.

Dynamo and solar charging are a joke
