Exactly what I was looking for!

Exactly what I was looking for! I got this for a family friend who has poor eyesight and who has had it for years so she knew how to use it very well. When it broke she didn't know how she would do without him or the other one but I found this one (the same one she had) and she is very happy!

Pros
  • Carry handle
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Good Storm Radio: Weather Radios

This radio was exactly what I was looking for! It's not too big and not too small. I can take it to the beach with a nice little handle and it's weatherproof so I don't have to worry about sand and water. It's also great for listening to news and weather reports indoors. Good to have in case of a thunderstorm.

Pros
  • Power Type: Wired Electric
Cons
  • Low Repairability

lightweight and works great with batteries or power

This is exactly what I wanted. It's small, light and works great on batteries or electricity. The downside is that there is nowhere to store the cable when using it with batteries. The cord storage area also serves to charge batteries so you have to store the cord elsewhere and then remember where you put it. However, this lightweight radio is a real heavyweight. He gets sent to the beach, transported to colleges and back, and he just keeps working. it costs money. AM/FM and weather radio.

Pros
  • Battery or AC power and the integrated handle make it easy to take the WR282R anywhere
Cons
  • Something different

Not RF Alert

This is an excellent Weather Radio with AM, FM and Weather Band settings. However, it does not (as far as stated in the instructions or a label on the radio) have the ALERT function that many other radios offer. This radio cannot be turned into a weather station and left in alarm mode so that it "turns on" and alerts you in the event of an emergency. If you need the weather feature and are worried about an upcoming storm, you should leave it on the weather channel and listen to constant…

Pros
  • WeatherX products are designed with safety in mind for use rain or shine.
Cons
  • Negative present

Quality control degraded

I have had this radio for many years and love it as it was the only unit I could take into the woods and get clear stations and weather. After it broke last year I ordered another one - when it arrived I noticed that the dial was very difficult to turn, the frequency dialed was not what I wanted. So I returned it and re-ordered from a different seller - the dial worked fine but the analog settings were terrible. If I wanted to play a 96 FM station I had to turn the dial to 92... the settings…

Pros
  • Components included: Owner's manual
Cons
  • Nothing here
