Hand Crank Emergency Radio NOAA Weather Radio 7400mWh Battery Operated 3 in 1 Charging Cable Hand Crank Charger with AM FM Portable Solar Powered Radio for Winter Storm Hurricane Survival Gear

It's nice and small. Looks like it will be very handy. I charged it up with the USB cord cord provided, and the radio works. The "reading light" is bright, but small. Will do in a pinch.

This radio is exactly as described and perfect for those emergency situations. everything in it so far works perfectly and is in my emergency preparedness bag. It is small and light but still incredibly functional. I listed to the radio a bit and it works awesome, great quality! It has an intuitive look, so you know what to be looking for and how to use it.

Works okay, the charge of the radio it’s average I’ll say 3 hours lasting time depending on usage, clarity it’s ok too, size it’s perfect, using it it’s easy, price not to expensive for the value, overall okay product.

Living in Southwest Florida this has become a necessary part of my household and we now have 4 of them. There is 1 in our hurricane kit and 1 on the nightstand in each of the bedrooms in case of a nighttime storm, power outage or to be used as an emergency charger. There are three built-in charging cords in place on the bottom of this multi-use emergency tool for different types of devices. We have used these quite a bit in the past 2 years and literally saved my sanity during hurricanes Debbie, Helene and Milton. Staying connected to the outside world by radio was a necessity when we had no power and could not get out of our home due to flooding / debris. There is a solar charging panel on top when put in the window or outside it will absorb enough energy to keep it running or to fill the battery and the ability to crank it when there was no sun was essential. The internal battery when fully charged lasts near 22 hours with continuous radio/ light use before needing a recharge. Although this Li-ion battery is not replaceable, there is also a place to put 3 AAA batteries for an additional backup power source. The speaker on this radio can be turned up loud and has the clarity of a much larger device. The flashlight has 3 levels of brightness and the siren is loud and will attract attention. The solar charging panel on top when lifted becomes a very bright reading light and many nights I use that while reading instead of turning on my overhead ceiling light. This is durable and I have dropped it several times and nothing has happened to the case, dials or the ability for it to do its job. I recommend this fully for every household.

For the price, this emergency weather radio offers great value. It has multiple power sources, which is very reassuring during power outages. The NOAA weather alerts are timely and accurate, and the radio itself is durable and well-made. The 7400mWh battery provides plenty of power, and the 3-in-1 charging cable is very convenient. The only minor issue is that the hand crank can be a bit stiff, but overall, it's a solid product. The built-in flashlight and reading lights are useful features, and the SOS alarm adds an extra layer of safety. A great addition to any emergency preparedness kit.

I have multiple Emergency Radios and bough this one for the cabin. There are many positives to this radio over other ones I have.1. The multiple light settings and addition of the reading/folding light is very nice. The lights are bright and don't have any breaks in the lighting.2. The radio is loud and effective.3. The wired charging cables are nice so I don't have to pack additional cords to keep with it.4. The crank is standard and easy to use.5. The solar charging panel is larger than others and the angle is adjustable.Overall, it's small enough to hold, but has the extras that make this Emergency Radio the best at this price point.

This is compact and well designed. Love the caribeaner to clip to bags. The hand crank and solar both work. I tested all functions and all work as advertised but charging the iPhone took forever on solar/crank power. I got about 2% more battery over the course of an hour.

I really wish I could give this little device five stars, because I can see it being tremendously useful in an emergency where power is out. For convenience, I will refer to the device as a radio, even though it is much more than that.But I won't summarize all its features because these are clearly listed in the Amazon ad.I must start off with the flaw that keeps me from giving it a higher rating. The device has a charging gauge, four blue LEDs labeled. 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, that are supposed to indicate how much of a charge is left in the device. These LEDs did not light up at all in the first radio I received, and in the replacement radio that I was sent, only the 25% LED lit up after the first couple of uses, even after a full night of charging (see photo). The LEDs notwithstanding, the radio was fully charged--this is apparently an LED issue, not a charging issue.I will give the company, or Amazon, or both, a lot of credit for sending me a reaplacement radio before I could even return the first one. But this LED issue is a serious one because this is an emergency radio, and it is important for people to be able to determine how much of a charge it has. Hence the two star deduction.The radio is somewhat smaller than I expected, but with hindsight, I'd say this is actually a plus. This makes it easier to store and to carry around in an emergency. The hadn't crank is a real plus--I've had crankable flashlights before, but I was amazed to get as much flashlight life as I did (around an hour on the lowest brightness, if I remember correctly) after just one minute of hard cranking. The radio doesn't last nearly as long--only about 5 minutes of clear reception for a minute of cranking in my test. But it is a big plus to even have a crank as an emergency back-up after other sources of power of run out. The other sources, by the way, include USB charging, three triple A batteries and a solar charger. I tried out the solar charger from inside, with the sun shining through a window pane, and it did slowly charge the radio. So, there are a lot of ways to keep this device operating!The flashlight has three brightness settings, toggled by repeatedly pressing the flashlight button. There is also a very bright table lamp on the top, which you get to by flipping up the solar panel. The radio includes AM, FM and weather band, at it works acceptably WHEN the short antenna is pulled out from the back of the radio. Not the quality of reception that you'd want for listening to music, but good enough for obtaining emergency information, depending of course on the nearest broadcasting locations.I did not try the emergency alarm because I did not want to disturb other people in my house. But I did try out two of the three charging cables that fold out from the bottom of the radio. I used the USB-C cable to charge a completely depleted iPhone and it got the phone to 38% capacity in just short of an hour before the radio itself was depleted (and yes, I had fully charged the radio first.). It is a nice touch to have the charging cables built in so that one doesn't have to try finding them in a house that has lost electricity. But the charging capacity of the radio is quite low and thus only suitable for emergencies. It probably makes sense to keep a separate, more powerful back-up battery for one's phone.I can see this device as being extremely useful in an emergency and many of its features (e.g. the multiple modes of getting power) are very nice. But if my two radios are any indication, the manufacturer really needs to straighten out the LED issue so that users can be sure the device is always fully charged and ready to go in an emergency.
