Review on πŸ”¦ Versatile Emergency Solar Radio: AM/FM NOAA Weather Radio with Hand Crank, LED Flashlight, and Phone Charger - Ideal for Household and Outdoor Use! by Loren Jacobson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Seems to work best in radios

It's nice to be able to load without a crank. The radio part goes nice and clear. Not sure how long the internal battery will last because Dorian managed to miss us so we didn't have to use it. We bought it as a 'just in case' item. The instructions state that you get an approximate 2:1 ratio for crank charging, which means you get 1 minute of battery life every 2 minutes after starting. Good enough for getting weather updates on the radio, but I wouldn't attempt to charge a phone with it unless the internal battery is already dead. Solar energy is also enough to power radios, not to charge electronics. All in all a good solid emergency radio.

Pros
  • 2020 New Design: Based on the 088 version, the updated 088plus weather radio is more practical, more powerful, complete with larger solar panels and brighter flashlights; With 2000mAh lithium batteries, the emergency solar handheld radio works for a long time; Large handle design is easier to adjust; The power indicator (remaining power) can remind you to charge in time.
Cons
  • Long wait
