Revainrating 1 out of 5

I liked it at first, but after a few weeks of use.

Ok I've thought about this review - I don't like the One Star product. BUT --! When someone spends their hard-earned money on something --- made in the country with minimal quality control -- :( :( -- turns out to be garbage, landfill, waste and nobody cares. - That needs to be fought .was used as a portable radio when I worked on the ranch - it rode in a very soft and sheltered area on a quad - when it worked the sound/volume was amazing but I could only pick up a couple of FM stations myself don't mind country/western stations and we are in a remote area NOAA came out ok - the light was bright but the on/off button on the handle is in the wrong place it was too easy to turn the light on the handle and drain the battery. Seriously, I don't think the solar panel worked. The crank worked, but it was a hell of a workout for 5 minutes to get this thing to work! But it has the battery e recharged. I was then able to charge my iPhone 6s enough to use it for short hard calls Then the connector where the USB cable is connected fell into the radio. When I told the sales people that they were very polite and sent another radio for free, no questions were asked. So I used the second radio for about a month, but the tuning knob and antenna failed. What held them together has fallen off, it rattles. I was hoping it would last a few years. Maybe it should only be used on a table or trash can? TWO of these things didn't work for me now, now what? Just throw away? :(

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
