Bought this as a gift. The gentleman I bought it for said it was neat.
Living in FL, I figured I should have a hand-crank powered radio with weather band. This product is exactly as advertised and is easy to operate. It is small - fits in the palm of your hand - but it will be very helpful should we lose power due to a storm or hurricane. Any household prone to power loss, especially power loss due to bad weather, should have this product. Campers will find this product useful, and the bright yellow color makes it easy to locate. I like that a flash light and antenna are also part of the unit. Very nice.

Battery defective. Will not hold charge. Everything works until you stop cranking.
****Update**** After leaving a review here the company contacted me to ask if they could send me another radio at no charge. They did. Well done
This is to be a gift and I know it will be liked and used. Thank you.

Great!
A small, efficient, well-made, practical item. We were without power for 9 hours on Christmas day and a house full of people. We had candles and flashlights, but no radio to listen to the Broncos game on. I finally went across town where they had power and paid $10 for 4 C batteries. We played Farkle and listed to the game by candlelight. Actually fun. After that I decided that we needed something like this. It seems well-made and is hefty. The crank is smooth and solid. The tuning knob takes a bit of finesse, but is stiff and won't drift. Has an efficient focused LED light which ran for 10 hrs as it arrived. Only criticisms may be that there is no earphone jack. and electronic tuner and back-light would be nice. But it's great for the price.
