Review on πŸ“» Stay Prepared with the Eton Rugged Multipowered Portable Emergency Weather Radio & Flashlight: Green (NSP101WXGR) by Sarah Schneider

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like it, but I read the manual

Pretty much everything except setting the clock is intuitive, apart from using the USB port to charge another device. Usually you just plug it in and it works, but for this radio you need to plug in a cable (to the radio and a charger like a phone), turn the radio on with the power button, then hold M until your device shows it's consuming power and loads. I was very confused as to why it wasn't working the first time I took it out of my pocket to charge my phone. Luckily it wasn't an emergency. I had to search the internet for instructions. Luckily my phone isn't dead yet. It really just needs to be plugged in and charged like most USB power banks. Or connect and press the button to start charging. Unplug, turn on, press and hold the button until the radio turns off and the device starts charging. It's not good to remember confusing steps in a stressful situation. Other than that, however, it's a great, full-featured, and reliable little emergency radio. I feel better when he's around. Except for the built-in bottle opener. It's just stupid.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Something else
