Good radio with poor quality support

I bought this radio after a review on YouTube. Almost everything about this radio is wonderful. Flashlight, bluetooth speaker, radio reception and sound quality. My problem is that it switched off after 10 seconds when loading, this is not normal and is considered a defect. I returned the radio and was refunded $20 less than the purchase price.New condition with all cases and plastic on the radio. Purchase is not recommended. Buying from this company is not recommended.

Pros
  • Nice packaging

  • Some cons

Where is my power supply you promised to check?

The stereo function was a decisive factor in the purchase of this Kaito Voyager Max KA900 emergency radio. FM is the best I've heard from a portable radio in years because it works in stereo and the easy to read display is fine. like the rest of the radio functions, the solar panel charges in the shade or in bright light, even in direct sunlight - this is a first for me. The battery seems to last forever and is easily recharged via a laptop, and the weather alarm is the icing on the cake, being

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • For seniors

My wife used the radio outdoors under the sun for several days and found that the glue for the solar panel had melted and the solar panel was now unattached. I originally rated it three stars but with this incident I have to downgrade. Poor solar charge---doesn't work as an emergency radio. Its dark design with no backlit switch makes it very difficult to operate in the dark. The handle is very poor in design. It was primarily designed to lock into the body when not in use, making it difficult…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • unreliable

Buyer warning! Best in Radio

Lots of issues with this purchase; An early purchase in the pandemic and a 30-day return window probably didn't help. The radio seemed to work for the 1st or 2nd week. Played a few hours a day but decided to charge the battery. Big mistake. It never worked again. The charging port says 6 VDC, but the documentation says 5 VDC (I assumed what was printed on the device should be correct, right)? So 6v. Checked my charger (which did not come with the radio) and confirmed correct voltage and…

  • Great Price
Cons
  • Not Sure

Do you need a sophisticated radio device in an emergency?

I bought this after returning the Kaito KA500 because I thought the KA900 was more profitable. I found all the different features can be a little tricky, especially when you're in an emergency. All you have to do is turn on the radio and get the right station for news, weather and emergency information. The KA500 does a good job of keeping it simple. The KA900 was confusing when I first tried its different modes. I couldn't change the frequencies of the bands because there are still a few steps

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Negative impression

Great radio, worth the money.

To be honest I had very low expectations of this radio. In just a few hours of use, it has exceeded all my expectations! That's a great radio! Pros: Extremely well built. Packed with features. reading light. Shortwave and longwave are quite sensitive. I was surprised when I picked up stations that I can mostly only pick up on some of my more expensive radios. Cons: Like an idiot, I plugged in the radio for charging and it wouldn't charge. I tried every menu and I couldn't figure out why the…

  • Few competitors

That's the one!: Weather Radios

I've had this for about a week now and I love it. Tecsun makes the PL-500, 600, 700, and 900 for between $50 and $100. Pl-500 is similar and costs $50. The 900 combines the 600 and 700 into one and adds 2 stereo speakers and Blue Tooth. Reception on FM is excellent, on AM/MW it's on the lower end of the scale, on SW it's limited but it's OK with a wire antenna attached to the telescopic antenna (not a serious SW receiver so don't buy it). Therefore). The weather channels are great. I don't know

Pros
  • Portable Audio & Video
Cons
  • Not sure

Kaito's new flagship emergency portable radio. The KA900 Voyager MAX adds shortwave and stereo capabilities to the existing KA700 platform. Search YouTube for the model number and my name for a full video review. Excellent, stereo separation is sharp and clear. * Bluetooth 4.1 * Direct input keyboard for entering radio stations and presets. * Replaceable, standard top button, protected cell 18650. * Updated flashlight with more travel, now very useful. * Reading lights. * Solar panel. * Dynamo.

Pros
  • Weather Radios
Cons
  • Can't remember

Useful emergency radio with many functions.

This is a new radio at the time of purchase from Revain. I have a Kaito KA600 and wanted to compare what upgrades this new model offers. The KA900 fixes some of the shortcomings of the KA600 and adds a few features. The KA900 adds a Bluetooth receiver function, an MP3 player if you add files from the microSD card slot, stereo speakers and a recording function. I want Kaito to keep RDS function on FM. The KA900 also has a larger battery, but cannot use alkaline batteries. (The KA600 had both…
