5000mAh Portable Solar Hand Crank Radio with NOAA, LCD Display, Cell Phone Charger, LED Reading Lamp, SOS Alert - Ideal for Outdoor Emergencies Review

Ok, wow! I live on the waterfront in Florida and summer storms large and small routinely threaten the power supply in my area. This radio calms me down! It has a charging port in case my phone runs out of power (always nice), a flashlight, a reading light, a radio (obviously), SOS, weather alerts and a headphone jack. I really like that you can charge it manually, solar, AC or battery. I also like to go hiking, so next time I'll take this little guy with me. Thanks for a great product!

This unit has 7 stations NOAA broadcast plus AM,FM. The speaker isn't very good, but it works. Battery life is decent and has 5 different ways to turn on/charge and use. I like that batteries are required in case the internal power runs out and that it has solar charging (very slow), manual crank (very slow) and plug-in charging (fastest). It's priced right for what it does, and it comes with a 5000mAh battery for charging your devices, which comes in handy in the event of a power outage.

An excellent device. I love that it has 4 different charging methods: manual/hand crank, solar power, lithium battery (rechargeable battery) or AA battery. This is great for any emergency. There is an AM/FM radio and very good speakers. It has two USB ports for charging your devices. And it also has two lightbulbs, one for reading and the other with a flashlight, and both are LED. I love that it has a carry handle and it's not heavy at all, it fits almost anywhere. This is ideal for camping or…

The last time a hurricane hit my town, I was without power for over a week. To save the batteries in my flashlight, I alternated the flashlight and candles. I didn't have an emergency radio, so I had to sit in the car listening to the news and charging my phone. I hope there is no more bad weather on my way, but if it does then I'll be better prepared with this emergency radio! I can charge my phone, hear the news, and have a flashlight so I don't have to worry about running out of battery…

This radio is very useful and looks well made. I have excellent radio and weather reception. I live quite far from the city so this is a good test of reception quality. We are in the rainy season so I turned on the weather alert mode and it sounded an alarm when the weather service sent out a severe weather alert tone for our area. The included solar panel offers a small fee. Haven't tried charging the phone yet but the handheld charger works as advertised to charge the main battery. A…

Love it. There are so many different things in it that everyone should have them. Not only can you charge it via USB or a wall outlet, but it also has a handle and solar panel so you can always use it. There's an SOS mode to alert people to your location if they get stuck, a weather service function and a radio. There is a dimmable flashlight on the front and a flashlight under the solar panel that can be flipped up for different lighting angles, e.g. for reading. Right now I keep mine in the…

Overall a well thought out emergency radio. Even with the large built-in lithium-ion battery, it's still quite light. A flashlight and reading lamp are nice (and useful) extras. Some of my favorite features are the digital display, which can be backlit if desired, and the radio's multiple power options (manual crank, disposable batteries, installed rechargeable battery, solar charging option). I think it's great that you can also charge other devices with the radio. In theory, you can charge it
