Review on 🔦 White American Red Cross FRX1 Hand Turbine AM/FM Weather Radio with LED Flashlight (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Dustin Wright

At this price point the frx1 has a plastic body and the 160 has a rubber body. The 160's solar charging pad has been replaced with a micro-USB on the frx1, which is an improvement for me. I know it's fully charged for travel after plugging into an old computer. Too bad they didn't have a battery option either. The knob is a bit looser on the cheaper frx1, and the button to change stations and the AM, FM and weather dial are much better at 160. If you put all the keys together, there is a higher risk that everything will be damaged if it falls. them immediately. The radio function is the usual quality of the Eton Red Cross version, excellent! The old analogue dial is really reliable and works well. It looks dated but from what I've heard it's much more reliable than digital. I also have an old big FR300 for the home, also basic but really reliable and it has a battery option as well as a crank. I have had nfr300 for more than 5 years and no problems, even the battery is original, it sits for months without recharging and still works when I need this quality! It's a cheaper version and it has its advantages, I personally don't like the really cheap feel of the outer shell but for $20 it fits perfectly in my emergency bag. I also really like the USB charging option, but ideally the handle, battery and USB option would really be all in one. The minimal size of both devices is perfect for your hand as well as any size emergency kit. I would recommend it at this price but put it in third place with FR300 in first place, nfr160 in first place in mini radio and this last one with case durability issue. Just my opinion. In working condition they all work great and are really reliable, when you need them they work period. Bottom Line: Yes, but it depends on your dietary needs.
