Handy little gadget. The flashlight is more powerful than the battery one that I keep around the house.

A very nice little radio. However it is not a Noah radio. It does pick up the Noah radio station. Which falls under a weather band radio. It cannot be used as a emergency Noah alert radio. But it will work for a power outage or evacuation, (radio, flashlight, and cellphone charger). It measures approximately 2.5 inches by 5 inches and it's about 1½ inches thick. I like that it can be charged using solar power, a hand crank or even charging it fully through a USB plug. I would estimate it weighs approximately 1 pound. I do not believe it's waterproof although the instructions do have a waterproof rating notification on it. At the most I would say it's rain resistant. I definitely would not get it wet. It can easily fit in a backpack. It actually picks up radio signals pretty well. The weather band picks up perfectly but the volume output is not very high so I had to turn the volume up louder than the FM stations. And since I only paid $14.27 I thought it was a good buy. I definitely would have gotten something better if I had to pay more.

Small, solid product! The LED is bright!

This is the kind of item that you wish you had when the emergency occurs, and that you should order before it does. The hand crank enables you to recharge the battery at night after use, while the solar cells permit you to keep it charged merely by storing it on a window sill with access to sunlight.
The ability to charge a cellphone using the hand crank and the included cables is nice, but keep in mind that you're going to do a lot of cranking for a little cell charge. That's not the fault of this device, it's just the limitation of the power that can be generated via the hand crank.
I've found that the AM/FM radio signals are loud and clear, as are the NOAA weather radio frequencies.For the money you can't beat the capabilities built into this small yet useful radio. The included flashlight is a bonus, making this the perfect device to be available for use post-emergency.
