Review on πŸ“» Green Kaito KA332W Portable Hand Crank Solar AM/FM NOAA Weather Radio with Cell Phone Charger & 3-LED Flashlight by Zachary Jackson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great weather radio for the price and lots of ways to power it

I bought these for emergency bags and they are light enough, small enough and efficient enough to get the job done. Here on Long Island it gets a decent signal (for AM/FM and NOAA) and the crank works well enough to charge the internal battery for short emergencies. It feels a bit "cheap" (plastic and light), but then again, the device's light weight keeps it from adding too much weight to our emergency bags, so that's mostly a plus. One thing I didn't understand is that the device can be battery powered, solar powered, manual powered, and pre-charged at home using the built-in rechargeable battery and USB cable (last thing I didn't realize was an option here was). . Plenty of ways to power this thing when you need it most. Definitely happy with these Kaito portable weather radios. And even a little surprised. as I have never heard of this brand. Of course, if you need a portable weather radio then this is a great option at a great price.
