This works perfectly! Just ordered before Hurricane Matthew hit us in Florida and I'm very pleased with it. It gets great reception, weather band for info and a.m.or f.m. for entertainment and moral. My power is still out but I'm listening to the radio and have a great flashlight right there included. I tried using it to charge a phone and a tablet with not great success but wonder out that function does better work the solar charged up (I'll try that tomorrow). That being said a few cranks juices up the radio for a good long time. Petite phone would travel well in a bag or large cargo pocket. Definitely suggesting this to my friends.

We had a similar product yrs ago only it was huge. This does so much more! I love the size and all the features it has. Works wonderful and it doesnt take up much space. You can use solar or handcrank. It charges your phone, listen to radio or weather channel.

It does everything. Great device

I picked this up for my 7 year old daughter. She loves listening to the radio and is always forgetting to charge her tablet. This is the perfect item for her backpack we take everywhere with us. Granted the 1000mAh isnt going to fully charger her ipad mini it will give her at least another hour of life to it. Also the ability to charge it via solar power will be a life saver when we go camping and the beach with her this summer. The Radio seems to be able to play all day with the battery fully charged and the flashlight is more then adequate,
Pros:
Build feels very solid and lightweight
Ability to recharge by hand crank solar or external power source
Flash light puts out a good amount of light
Cons:
No headphone jack. - There is a jack that looks like one but this jack you plug in adapter in to power your usb devices
No cord management - If there was a way to store the cables inside the unite it would be invaluable. I have a feeling that she will end up losing these cables sooner or later but most adults shouldn't have this same problem.
I am considering picking one up for my car and one for home just because how versatile these little guys are.
Size wise it has a smaller footprint then my Samsung 7 edge but is about 4 times a wide.
