RunningSnail AM/FM NOAA Weather Emergency Solar Digital Crank Radio with 3W LED Flashlight, SOS Alarm & 2000MAh Power Bank（Yellow） …

To be fair, the customer support provided via email was VERY good.The AM radio reception is all but useless. All noise and no signal. In the event of an emergency, I want to tune into my local AM news radio station. The antenna is small and fragile. You have to be very careful to not bend it when pulling it out or pushing it in, Meanwhile, the antenna doesn't seem to make any difference for reception on any band. Also, when you switch to the AM band, the LCD displays "MW" not "AM".The rather small "Backlit LCD Display" is NOT Backlit. It is lit from the side and the light produces glare making it difficult to see.The unit is not very rugged: I don't think it would survive being dropped on a hard surface.The "manual" is a joke.The "Portable USB Light" doesn't work when plugged into the USB recharging output. They sent me a new unit and it had the same problem. They finally claimed "the USB light may not fit to use in the radio". I don't have a cell phone so I don't know if the USB recharging output works for recharging a cell phone. But it doesn't work with the light, so...Meanwhile, the cell phone charger can't come close to fully charging a phone and the solar panel can't come close to fully charging the radio.

Right out of the box, this product already comes (according to indicator) 75% charged which is pretty standard. This comes with 3 different frequency. One is just for standards FM, another for emergency and AM although it is called something different but from what I can tell it is the AM radio. The emergency channel (at least that what I figure it was) provides different information about the surrounding area such as elevation. I assume this would be good for emergency situations. A few things I notice out of the box is that it comes with a standards micro USB cable which you can use to charge the battery. It also comes with an iphone lighting adapter. I found this to be pretty nice thing to have if you are an iphone user. The battery is not much to be honest. it's only 2000 which may charge your phone to 30-40% on no use. There is a crank which you can also use to generate power for the phone although I assume this would take a good amount of time. It does have a solar panel to charge but like anything do not leave it directly in the sun for too long. I have tried alot of solar batteries and direct sunlight in a small container just cause more heat and barely charges anything. My recommendation it is good to have but as a last resort and you're better off using the crank to recharge. There is also a hook so you can attach a it to your backpack and such. Also a pull out antenna to get a better signal. There are adjustment settings at the bottom so you can draw power from the internal battery of the AAA battery. This device can 3 AAA batteries which are not included and it is not worth using to charge your phone as you phone will most likely kill the batteries in one charge. My recommendation is to use the bottom switch to ensure that you are using the internal battery to charge. The LED light is bright but I do not like how it has a center light a dark circle the more light. I feel like this hinders the lighting but may some people are okay with that. Overall i think this is definitely a nice device to have in emergency. I put it in the trunk of my car to avoid direct sunlight and for emergency use. If you are looking for that good emergency device this is a great one.

WOW where do I start? I just love my new handy dandy, small compact radio flashlight. I love that it's solar chargeable, but can be used by AAA batteries as a backup.And it can be cranked charged... never without power. The packaging was right on point, sturdy. Directions were easy to understand. I've got a story where it would have come in handy. I was camping last weekend, got caught in a storm. Had to take cover in the bath house, had to rely on the flashlight on my cellphone, which ran my battery down. I will certainly recommend to my friend's and family... my son has already tried to get mine.. not gonna happen...

This is really a nice little radio flashlight. I have been collecting flashlights and pocket knives I can safely say for decades. So with that in mind I can totally say that this light a definite recommendation from me. It has good build quality the flashlight has a good lumen count along with a good beam. Also the radio speaker sounds good it connects to your Am/Fm channels strongly and clearly. This light in my opinion would make a wonderful emergency flashlight for your vehicle. You can charge it or use it to charge your phone it has emergency radio channels and can be charged thru solar panels. Just an awesome light.

It was awsome while the antenna lasted I wasn't rough with it but after the first day of use two metal pieces came out and the antenna with it I hope mine was just a faulty one because I really did love it I'll leave two stars because the flashlight is awsome the big hole is what the antenna use to beUPDATERunning snail contacted me a couple emails and some broken English later I received a new one this one has held up great although the antenna is probably just generally fragile but mine was still a defective one this thing is awesome

7/19 - quit working....1/19 - Wasn't looking for an emergency radio - - was looking for a small radio to hang in my construction trailer (not much desk space). Thought it was cool this could take a solar charge. THAT doesn't work at all - even sitting in the window facing the sun. Yes - it fits in that small window sill :) I can't get the station I wanted, but I get another one that will do. Sound is really good and I do like the digital display. The last one I tried with a dial was hopeless. I use a cube to charge, though the USB cable that comes with it is not very long. Also have batteries as a back up - just in case.
