Already owned one myself and I bought a second one for my autistic nephew (age 12) He LOVES it! It's his new favorite thing. He loves winding it up and searching for new radio stations. Uses it at home and on trips/camping. I just keep mine on hand in my emergency kit. The flashlight has come in handy especially.
We finally broke this out to use for the first time when we went camping last weekend and what a disappointment! After charging it, the flashlight worked fine, but the radio was broken and the cables didn't charge our phone at all. Unfortunately, I tried it too late and can't get my money back now. I would NOT recommend this product!!
UPDATE: The company contacted me directly and was extremely helpful to see if I would like a refund or a replacement. They were very apologetic and are working on this problem. I would do business with them again any day. Very happy with them.

This was tested days ago when we lost power due to Harvey. And hand crank charging never worked.
I HAVE UPGRADED IT TO 5 FROM 1 STAR BECAUSE THEY CONTACTED Me ABOUT THE NON WORKING ONE AND SENT REPLACEMENT. I STILL HAVE NOT TESTED THE NEW ONE THOUGH

Easy to crank. Good light for the purpose.

had to order 2 as my daughter found the first one , thoght it was a free gift and kept it for herself
We just weathered Hurricane Harvey in Houston. We lost power for days during the worst of the storm, and this was our main lifeline to weather updates and tornado warnings. It required minimal effort to get started, was easy to work, and reliable. An absolutely necessary item in a hurricane or emergency kit. I'm so grateful we had this.
