I replaced an old that I have had for over 20 years with this unit. I have been very pleased with the unit so far. This unit has much better reception than my old unit. I have used the wind up crank for charging the battery which does work, however I have found that if you leave the unit where it can get some sun, you never have to charge the unit. The unit also works to power other devices which is a nice addition
I always wanted to have a hurricane radio and I'm in love with this red because it came with a few surprises: it has flashlight and also works as a mobile phone charger, tablet, when it has no power. The sound is great and he's all tiny. Besides, I love everything that is solar.
Only the hurricane that has not yet come.

This is one of those items that's just good to have on hand, in case of an emergency. I decided to buy it as a hurricane was approaching, but I knew it would be a good thing to keep in the house for any situation. Our power stayed on and we didn't end up needing it, but I'm still glad that I bought it. I even purchased a second one for my father a day after receiving this one!
It's small and easy to store. It's actually a little smaller than I had imagined, but that's because I wasn't paying attention to the measurements. It would, however, be good if you kept the cords with it.
One of the best things about this item though is its ability to self-charge via the hand-crank or solar power. The hand-crank could be a lot more ergonomic when you twist it, but I can deal with it if it means that I'm able to charge this thing in a pinch. I'd say that was my only complaint.
As described, it has a decent flashlight and you can even plug your phone into it for charging. I had no trouble reaching the NOAA Weather, FM, and AM stations via the antenna.
I highly recommend this item for any emergency situation.
I love this radio. The flash light is really bright! I had no problems hearing the broadcast or adjusting the volume. I actually charged my cell phone! I can hold this radio in one hand. I am VERY happy with this purchase.
