Review on 🔋 TENROOP Weather Radio 5000mAh: Solar Hand Crank Emergency Radio for Hurricane, AM/FM/NOAA Weather Alert, Flashlight, Cell Phone Charger - Black by Jeremy Hahn

I am an avid hiker, backpacker, camper and survivalist. My house, car and even my office have everything I need to get into survival mode. This multifunctional radio is a must have. BENEFITS - NOAA weather station (where emergency and weather data is broadcast) - powered by solar energy (charging efficiency is low, but better than nothing) - hand crank for power generation (much more useful than the included solar panel - USB port for charging your devices - built-in , much larger 5000mAh battery - Supports AAA batteries (requires 3) - AM/FM radio - Flashlight with SOS signal function (which also activates loud sounds) - USB rechargeable - Headphone jack - IPX3 waterproof : withstands up to 5 minutes Splashing water (but not splashing).It's good for rain, but it can't be submerged in water.The hard plastic makes it more durable than its predecessor, whose plastic became extremely sticky after years of storage.You can choose between the built-in rechargeable battery or AAA -Change batteries.(You should use AAA so the capacity of the internals doesn't shrink. Save them if you're really in a survival situation.) CONS - The crank doesn't stay fully in its storage slot - The solar panel, because it's so small, doesn't give much charging - Loud sound activated with SOS mode, can't be turned off. I just want to signal with a light and NOT make any loud noises around me (that gets annoying quickly!) - IPX3 water resistance only. In a survival situation, you must be extra careful not to submerge it in water or you will lose a very valuable tool. Keep one or more in your survival kit.
