AM, FM and weather station all worked. Flash light also worked. I liked the size small and easy to place with energy gear.

Tiny item! Pretty much fits in the palm of your hand, but it works! Feels a bit cheap and I'm not sure how much cranking it will take before it breaks, or if it could survive a few drops. Flashlight is strong and lasts for quite a while after a few cranks. FM, AM and Weather bands all worked well when tested. Putting this in our home emergency kit - not sure I would buy this style for the car emergency kit as I think I'd want something more substantial if I were stuck somewhere away from home - but its size and weight make it definitely portable - this would fit in a jacket pocket easily.
Comes with a few cables and USB adapters, but you still need your original phone cable or whatever-it-is-you-want-charged cable to plug into the adapter that plugs into the phone. That's definitely something you want to test out BEFORE there's an emergency. I suggest keeping the radio and cables in a ziploc bag when storing it in your kit just so you won't lose any pieces.

Perfect. I have tried other emergency radios and this one outshines them all. It is sturdy, the crank is smooth and the radio powered very quickly. The signal is strong. I can get a station on this that I cannot receive on my home stereo. Weather was easy to tune into. Perfect for my BOB, emergency bag in the car or home use during storms. I will buy 2 more so I have one in all cars.
It is pretty small, but has all the features mentioned. I havent really had to use it yet, but am sure it will do what I need

Have not had the time to put this system through its paces. It has a solid feel for being built from plastic. The hand crank seems solid. The radio has a good ability to pick up stations, albeit I'm in a metro area testing. The sound quality is also decent for the small size speaker. The solar strip does a good job of keeping the battery charged. After my initial charge via usb plug, the battery has kept its charge. The down side in my opinion and not sure if it is a down side at this price point, is no ability to replace the battery.
