Too cool to be useful

PROS โ€“ The build feels solid. โ€” The crank seems strong enough for the task. - I like the setting where it silently monitors the weather channel and only turns on in an emergency. Midland radios sound an alarm, but this radio can be set to sound an alarm or a WX station (which I prefer). - The same function is easy to set up for your county. CONS - The buttons are 90% hidden under the handle and the type is small. They can't be seen with my 40 year old eyes - Weather channel reception isn't asโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Bluetooth Weather Radio: This rugged and reliable weather radio is solar powered and features Bluetooth technology; Stream your favorite music anywhere while charging
Cons
  • No performance

Great emergency radio with great sound.

This device was a surprise. I tried four different emergency radios and was dissatisfied with all of them. Prices range from $45 to $150. Features were spilled from set to set, but they all had one thing in common - lousy sound. All of them cut out mids and lows to save battery power. Compromise is just a terrible sound. I thought I had to live with that sound, but I was wrong. I tried another emergency radio, the Eton Sidekick. The first thing I noticed was the vastly improved sound qualityโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy Charging: Built-in rechargeable lithium battery can be easily charged by solar power or hand generator; When it's on, you can use it to charge your smartphone, tablet or other device
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Full-featured two-way radio for camping or home emergency calls

This is a very handy full featured radio for camping or emergency services. The device has many interesting features such as Bluetooth, SAME. Alarm technology, weather channels, as well as a manual charger, a solar panel changer and a USB port for charging the mobile phone. Not to mention 3 headlights, AM and FM radio with memory channels. Some of these features were not known to me when I bought the radio. The first thing I tried was Bluetooth. It connected to my iPhone instantly andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stay connected, from weather radios and backup battery packs to solar-powered sound systems, we'll keep you connected and in the loop at home, the office, on the go, or indoors the outdoors . Outdoor
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
