Ian was my first major hurricane. I'd been through hurricanes before so I thought I knew what to expect. Not even. I expected to lose power and internet but we also completely lost cell service and had no idea what was going on for days. No news, no texting, calling, no anything. We were trapped and had zero outside contact and no idea what was going on or how much longer it would last. No power so no local TV. Couldn't go outside to start the generator because it was so bad out. When I opened this I loled because it is so tiny. But after messing with it I think this is the coolest gadget I've ever owned. Everything on it works great. Noaa coming in loud and clear, regular FM also pretty clear. Lights are super bright. Very handy. I pray we never have another Ian but I'll be happy to have this for any storm. I love that there are so many ways to charge it. Very handy. Also it kind of feels expensive if you know what I mean. Like it's really solid and sleek.

Compact, easy to use, and extremely reliable, this radio is a must-have for every home emergency kit. I honestly consider it a lifesaver during hurricane season. and with a really good price!

What makes it even better is its versatility. It’s not just a radio—it can also recharge my phone when the power goes out, which is absolutely essential in an emergency. I also love that it has multiple ways to stay powered, including the hand-crank lever. Even if there’s no electricity for days.

This item is perfect for an emergency backpack as well as optimal for camping or keeping in your car. Have another one in bedside table. It has multiple functions yet lightweight and compact for easy storage and transport. Have purchased for all grandchildren.

I like it. It works and if you charge it from an outlet you have days of light but I dropped it once and the tuner knob flew off and has never been found. It works as an emergency charger too. Reading light is incredibly bright. If the solar panel works then it's really slow. Don't count on it for power. Crank works great. Definitely would buy another and recommend.

This is a nice weather radio. It also has a bright flashlight would be great for camping or in a power outage.

I must admit it works very well, but not necessarily as expected.

The solar panel does not charge the device as it is only for battery maintenance or trickle charging. Separate solar charger must be bought.

The hand crank works very well, but does not charge up or fully charge the battery. It charges the capacitors and keep charge on the circuit board. You have to keep cranking!

Radio and lights work perfectly.

Very comfortable to hold.

Speaker is quite loud.

Love the colour.

Seems durable so far as I'm currently without electricity due to hurricane Melissa.

Weighted just right as it is not heavy.

Some amount of learning curve.

I just got this today and I ordered it yesterday. Delivery was fast. And OMG! Best Buy ever. It has everything it says in the description. Flashlight, reading light, charger, sos, etc. Very useful in case of a brownout/blackout. Buy it! You will be glad you did. Some said it’s small but to me it’s ok size. It does everything it’s supposed to do and that’s the most important.

Meh. The solar charging basically doesn’t work.. and you have to do a lot of winding to charge it. But it’s for emergencies. Other than that. Not too bad. Does what it says. Alarm is loud and nice feature. Light is adequate.

Ordered this to use during power outages. Has multi uses but most importantly the radio and the light. The better part of this little package is you can wind it up to charge it if the internal battery runs out or use the solar panel on it to charge. Also a nice little feature if you need to charge your phone there is a port to do that. The radio works well enough but feel it may be limited but it was picking up my local station good enough. Hope to not need it but I know I have it if I do.

I only gave this a short test before packing it in my earthquake kit, but I quite like it. it worked well and I like the crank feature. the radio signal came in quite clearly.

Brutal AM andex international bands. Punny knobs, hard to tune. However, lots of good features.

Works as advertised! I hope that I never have to use it.

So far so good
