I would look for a different brand of radio.

1st off. The tuner's plastic cover fell off when the radio fell on its face. The reception is very bad. The volume is very weak. The solar battery is not working on my device. I noticed that the device consumes a lot of electricity. I left the device on for 8-10 hours and the batteries were completely dead. I bought this device as a survival device and am glad I tested it before I really needed it. I will try other brands of shortwave.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Weak kit

Great Product - Radios

This radio is a great product for the price. People complain about the crank, but there's nothing wrong with that. It is quite durable and offers sufficient charging time. I live in the city and was able to get clean channels on SW, FM and AM. I have no doubt this will work just as well for weather alerts. I charged it on my computer for the recommended amount of time and it works like a charm. My brother-in-law, a skeptic, thought it was a worthy product and would buy it too. I think you can't

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Worries me

THAT'S ALL for radios

I bought this for a possible emergency. I tested it last week and am very satisfied. I particularly like the clockwork charger. The charge lasts a long time. This is probably the most important part. I don't see much need to ever use conventional batteries. I haven't tried solar power, but I understand that it takes much longer to replenish the solar charge. It's also useful for illuminating the watch face when you need it. It is compact in design and attractive. I received it in black. The…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

great for campers good for radios

It arrived on time and in good packaging. Love all the features of this radio, I keep it in our van and bought an AC plug for the radio so I can leave it plugged in to use the weather alert feature. This works without an AC plug, but will quickly drain your batteries. We are camping in a hunt camp and it's great if you don't want to run your generator for electricity, you can have a light, music radio, weather radio, charger for your phone without draining your van's batteries. Seems to be of…

Pros
  • great for small homes
Cons
  • I really don't like it, everything is fine

EXACTLY what I wanted

This emergency radio worked right out of the box with no issues, no fuss. Quickly read the instructions and enjoy. Recently I had another radio, very good, but too complicated. In a real emergency, I need something that will work quickly in the dark, in inclement weather, or after a bad event. These are AM, FM, SW, NOAA. You can plug it in, use batteries, run it, or harness the sun with a solar panel. The instructions are absolutely the BEST of any electronic device I've had in years. So kids…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Weight

Good radio some flaws

I bought this radio to replace another radio that has seen better days. After reading about the features, I was convinced. The radio arrived in good condition. I also bought a charger and immediately charged it for 6 hours as recommended. I use the radio every day in my office and I have to say I'm surprised. I never put batteries in the radio, I just raised the solar panel and the radio is powered perfectly. I leave it on so it charges even when I'm not using the radio. I listen about 3 hours…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled
