Review on 📻 Raddy RW3 - Ultimate Emergency Hand Crank Radio: Retro AM/FM/NOAA, Solar Powered with Phone Charger, Flashlight, Bluetooth Speaker, SOS Alarm - Ideal for Home Use, Survival, and Outdoor Adventures by Jane Cuperus

Enjoyed reviewing this radio. I've been using Radioddity (Raddy) radios for a number of years. Based on my experience of using such a multifunctional radio during power outages and civil protection, I think it's a good choice for most people. it's a radio. The plastic feels hard rather than the soft used on many radios of this type. The problem with a soft grip is that after a few years it starts to deteriorate and becomes uncleanable. The appearance is exquisite, retro, cool and unusual. Functions: Radio (Weather bands AM / FM / USA); Bluetooth speaker and playback from USB and memory card; Torch; Battery pack for USB devices. Rechargeable with hand crank, USB or solar battery. Included in the box: Radio, small carrying case, USB-A to USB Micro/3.5mm adapter So far I've been impressed with the battery life. According to the instructions, the flashlight lasts more than 7 hours on a full charge and more than 20 hours as a radio. As for the solar function, I'm optimistic. Many of the first types of solar products to hit the market in the early 2010s had panels, but they didn't really do much. The manual claims that the radio can be fully charged in 70 hours using a solar panel. The battery is smaller, 2000 mAh. My general feeling, considering these characteristics, is that the radio components are quite effective. The grip feel and build quality are again on par with my Eton grip. Spinning itself isn't difficult, but it's not effortless either, which tells me it's a high-ratio dynamo, which is good because you get more charge per minute of charge. With that in mind I think this radio is a good match for a fairly inexpensive all round radio that can be ready for power outages or emergencies where you can tune into the radio or any hazardous area to access public emergency alerts weather forecast. . The solar panel keeps the battery fully charged. One of the most unique features of this radio is the USB and TF card reader (MicroSD!). Again, you can use them to play sound files. At first glance, this may seem unsuitable for most applications. To be honest, I think this is a great emergency feature. If you don't have an emergency kit, you really should search the internet for ready.gov to learn how to create one. When the power goes out, especially if you have young children, you want familiar entertainment close at hand. With a radio this small, you can buy and preload some small microSD cards. One card might have children's music, another podcast, and maybe another one with rain sounds for relaxation. This frees up your mobile phone to receive messages, especially in emergency situations where it is important to save the battery of the communication device. It might sound a bit cheeky, but having half a dozen maps with music, entertainment, and even audio guides around hazards is a low-tech way to provide entertainment, information, and distraction (all three are important) during power outages and other hazards. to offer . Enabling this option may casually strike Reddy as backward or anachronistic, but in my view, this is a rare, worthwhile, and actually quite useful feature in an emergency radio. change it. In the meantime, I'll keep it on the windowsill, use a Bluetooth speaker (fairly powerful for its size), and show off its whimsical nature.
