Looks good but has some quirks

Does as advertised. I don't use it regularly as I see it as something I need in an emergency. However, I noticed two things about my device. First, the blue battery level indicators seem inconsistent. For example, I was listening to the radio when all 4 lights were on. Turned on the light and it only showed 3. Turned everything off then turned the radio back on and it went back to 4. A more serious issue is that the battery gauges seem to be killing the AM radio. Every time one of those blue lights is on I get a lot of interference even though it's already tuned to the local station. As soon as the blue lights go out, the transmitter can be heard. Since these lights take 30 seconds or more to turn off, this is a problem. But it's more extensive. Because those blue lights can come on for another 30 seconds depending on what you're doing. Let's say you're listening to AM radio and you turn on your headlights. Well the blue lights come on too so you can't hear the radio until they turn off after about 30 seconds! Be prepared to deal with these quirks.

Pros
  • Weather Radios
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
