Review on Retekess TR201 Red Weather Radios for Home – Hand Crank Radio with 5000mAh Power Bank, NOAA Weather Alert, SOS, Flashlight, and Reading Lamp by Steve Lawrence

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Battery Champ fits radios

My biggest complaint is that the antenna feels flimsy. Other bad things: AM has a repetitive popping sound that's annoying at low volumes, tuning is a bit difficult to pinpoint a station, and it's difficult to turn the crank while holding the radio. Glad the radio lasted a long time. long before it needs to be charged. I used it for a week in a remote area with no access to any power source other than the sun and it kept working. I didn't even touch my AAA backup batteries. The FM sound quality from the speaker was very good. The reading light is fantastic and placed in the perfect position. It did a great job of charging my phone once on top of that. Personally, I think these are important emergency radio functions, which is why it worked as it should, while some others I tested didn't. Overall a good radio, especially for the $20 price I paid.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Expensive
