Slightly larger than previous iterations of this emergency radio that I own, and I think that’s because this version includes a larger battery and better energy storage. It’s worth having multiples of this thing around your house and in vehicles. While I miss the slightly smaller, more compact size of the old versions, I appreciate the overall improvements made here.

Definitely worth what we paid.

It combines an AM/FM/NOAA radio with a 2000mAh power bank, which can charge your phone during power outages or outdoor activities. The added SOS alarm and solar-powered LED flashlight make it an essential tool for camping, weather, or emergencies. I got this because I know one will come in handy soon. The hand crank is my favorite feature and I feel like it helps set the radio apart. It has a simple interface and straightforward charging options, whether through solar power, the hand crank, or USB, making it very user-friendly. I feel like this one is a good value and therefore a solid choice, considering all the rest of the features.

As the title says, if you are looking for an inexpensive emergency radio to have on hand this is a great option. It supports AM/FM/ and Weather bands. I've always liked the crank radios as they can be used at any time. The radio itself has an internal battery which can be charged with the crank, included solar charge, or charged with a USB-C charger. This is also useful because the radio can double as a charger for your phone if absolutely necessary. It also has an emergency siren and a flashlight which is very useful in the dark and/or emergencies. It is completely analog so all tuning and volume is adjusted using manual turn dials. This is where I feel it's quality is a little deficient. The tuning dial moves the frequency a great deal on the smallest of turns. Tuning into the frequency of your choice requires very minimal, almost microscopic, movements. If you want a nice cheap emergency radio to have in your home or your go bag it's a great option. If you require something a little "higher" quality and are willing to spend more on something digital with more features you might want to pass.

Ships extremely fast! Nice emergency radio with WB, FM, and AM together with solar charging, 5V USB-C charge port, as well as hand crank. Emergency flashlight built in with two different light intensities. Also has a USB-A charge port to charge your other portable electronics using this radio's built in battery. A significant drawback is that it needs to be really cranked by hand to charge. According to the manual it needs to be crank at 130-150 RPM for 3-5 minutes to charge. So there will be some real sweat equity to charge up this little emergency radio. I much prefer plugging it into the 5V USB-C charging port. Another significant drawback is I only get one AM station on 640KHz. I cannot get my other AM radio news channel at 1070KHz. It gets me a bunch of FM stations however. There is only one WB station that I could tune in, and it has all the weather information I need. So overall I feel that this radio meets my emergency needs. Hence the 4 stars.

This is a handy dandy little radio to have on hand. I have lived through 2 tornados and lost power and all contact with the outside world in the last one except for an old weather radio I had. LUCKILY I had fresh batteries to put in it, so I was able to hear news and when the coast was clear, etc. With this, it has the built in rechargeable battery, PLUS the crank in case your battery is dead. Love that you can charge it with solar too. I bought this to put in my camper, and I like it so much that I'll probably get another one (at only 13.99 currently it's a BARGAIN and a half too) It easily picks up all my local stations clearly and the alarm is loud and clear, and the flashlight works well. Love that you can also charge your cell phone with it in an emergency. It's also small and lightweight, surprisingly palm sized, so also a GREAT all around option for hikers and wilderness campers. I love it, and I highly recommend it!

I like this emergency radio. It has the ability to charge with the built in solar panel, the manual hand crank, or with a USB C cable. The radio plays loud and clear. If you press and hold on the flashlight power button for a few seconds , a loud siren sounds and the flashlight flashes in a SOS pattern. I like the weather radio. It picks up the weather radio signal better than another radio I hav.The radio charges (input) at a rate of 5V 1A (5W) on the USB C port. The USB C does not charge (output) other devices. The USB A port does charge other devices at 5V 1A (5W). While these aren't great charging speeds, in an emergency, it would be sufficient as long as you had the right cable. I'm not a huge fan of the rubber cover on the ports. Overall I would recommend this radio

I have used multiple little all in one crank radios like this in the past. They are great for 'go' bags and campers, or even hiking, to check weather forecasts or for broadcast radio. This one is not a stellar performer. It does charge with a crank, usb-c, or to a limited extent with the small solar panel. The light is not bad also. The radio part is a little disappointing. The WB channels do not tune very well and it locks on to one station whether that is the one you want or not (some areas have multiple stations). The AM was not very sensitive and worked well only with strong local stations. The FM was also not that sensitive and tended to lock on strong local stations and would not pick up weaker stations if they were close in frequency. If you just want 'something', then this might work for you. If you want a little bit better performance, others units very similar to this one are available around the same price.
