Review on πŸ”¦ Essential Survival Gear: 2021 Upgraded Emergency Flashlight Radio with Solar & Hand Crank Power, Weather Band, Phone Charger - Perfect for Hurricanes and Tornadoes by Joe Garczynski

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great emergency radio/charger to keep on hand

These manually operated solar powered units have come a long way. The ability to charge via USB and easily removable and swappable 18650 cells are a big plus. You can still use solar charging, which is slow due to the limited surface area of the solar cell. Yes, you can run the hand crank in a REAL emergency, but you won't go full to full. Radio reception is good on all bands, but you may need to connect a longer cable to improve the situation in some areas. Light, especially reading with a PIR sensor, is ideal. Very bright and durable due to the capacity of the included 18650 cells. Tests showed they are actually around 1950mAh, but who really expects accurate readings from Chinese lithium cells? If it is important to you, please put in some LG batteries or other larger capacity batteries.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Fair enough, but...
