AM/FM NOAA Weather Emergency Solar Digital Crank Radio with 3W LED Flashlight, SOS Alarm & 2000MAh Power Bank（Yellow）

Right out of the box, this product already comes (according to indicator) 75% charged which is pretty standard. This comes with 3 different frequency. One is just for standards FM, another for emergency and AM although it is called something different but from what I can tell it is the AM radio. The emergency channel (at least that what I figure it was) provides different information about the surrounding area such as elevation. I assume this would be good for emergency situations. A few things I notice out of the box is that it comes with a standards micro USB cable which you can use to charge the battery. It also comes with an iphone lighting adapter. I found this to be pretty nice thing to have if you are an iphone user. The battery is not much to be honest. it's only 2000 which may charge your phone to 30-40% on no use. There is a crank which you can also use to generate power for the phone although I assume this would take a good amount of time. It does have a solar panel to charge but like anything do not leave it directly in the sun for too long. I have tried alot of solar batteries and direct sunlight in a small container just cause more heat and barely charges anything. My recommendation it is good to have but as a last resort and you're better off using the crank to recharge. There is also a hook so you can attach a it to your backpack and such. Also a pull out antenna to get a better signal. There are adjustment settings at the bottom so you can draw power from the internal battery of the AAA battery. This device can 3 AAA batteries which are not included and it is not worth using to charge your phone as you phone will most likely kill the batteries in one charge. My recommendation is to use the bottom switch to ensure that you are using the internal battery to charge. The LED light is bright but I do not like how it has a center light a dark circle the more light. I feel like this hinders the lighting but may some people are okay with that. Overall i think this is definitely a nice device to have in emergency. I put it in the trunk of my car to avoid direct sunlight and for emergency use. If you are looking for that good emergency device this is a great one.

I bought this radio to replace my 20 year old Magnavox AM/FM/TV/Weather radio that is finally, after all these years, starting to malfunction. My biggest complaint is the quality of the sound, after all, sound is what a radio is all about right? Well, maybe not if the apocalypse has come and you're hiding under a bridge with on a few hours of daylight due to a nuclear winter. But, no apocalypse yet. To get any level of volume out of this unit you have to turn it way up, and at those decibel levels it starts sounding very, well "loud", tinny and painful, not enjoyable to listen to for more than a few seconds. I like to listen to the radio, not have to use earplugs to protect my hearing. The reception quality is good, I like the digital tuner (as opposed to my old dial Magnavox) but overall the controls are not very intuitive. Yes, you may have to read the instruction manual like I did. I ended up waking up my wife at 5am (twice) trying to turn it on when I accidently turned on the alarm, which I might add works well. The flashlight also works well. The solar panel is tiny, and even though I only listen to NPR for 15 - 20 minutes a day while taking my morning shower when leaving the radio in a sun facing south window all day it doesn't keep it charged. The hand cranks works, yes, so under a bridge I could get some sound but when it takes 4 hours of hand cranking (according to the Amazon FAQ associated with this item) to get a full charge I think that the repetitive motion stress on your hands and arm far outweigh the benefit (unless of course you're under a bridge hiding from zombies or something). I thought, hey, neat it has a battery I can use to charge another USB device, but don't even try to listen to the radio while this is happening because the interference generated by the process is unbearable (unless you're under a bridge). So, I'm off to try and find a better model. I'll toss this in my survival bag as an instrument of last resort because well, you know, the apocalypse may come some day! Maybe I can use it to scare the zombies away?

I bought this radio cum flashlight as I am planning to camp a lot this summer. This gadget is too good and serves multiple purposes. The best thing is, it can be used for charging the phones and the gadget itself supports charging by solar energy. Radio is an additional benefit, but I doubt using it as I camp in the campgrounds only where help is not far away. The flashlight is working fine too along with all the additional features.

This is really a nice little radio flashlight. I have been collecting flashlights and pocket knives I can safely say for decades. So with that in mind I can totally say that this light a definite recommendation from me. It has good build quality the flashlight has a good lumen count along with a good beam. Also the radio speaker sounds good it connects to your Am/Fm channels strongly and clearly. This light in my opinion would make a wonderful emergency flashlight for your vehicle. You can charge it or use it to charge your phone it has emergency radio channels and can be charged thru solar panels. Just an awesome light.

I have had this product for less than 3 weeks and have already had to use it! I got it and immediately charged the built in battery. The next day the power went out and my phone was actually almost dead and it was able to charge it enough to wake me up in the morning. The flashlight is super bright and helpful and the radio/ siren can be really loud. The hand crank isn’t super difficult to turn and can provide extra juice in a pinch.

To be fair, the customer support provided via email was VERY good. The AM radio reception is all but useless. All noise and no signal. In the event of an emergency, I want to tune into my local AM news radio station. The antenna is small and fragile. You have to be very careful to not bend it when pulling it out or pushing it in, Meanwhile, the antenna doesn't seem to make any difference for reception on any band. Also, when you switch to the AM band, the LCD displays "MW" not "AM". The rather small "Backlit LCD Display" is NOT Backlit. It is lit from the side and the light produces glare making it difficult to see. The unit is not very rugged: I don't think it would survive being dropped on a hard surface. The "manual" is a joke. The "Portable USB Light" doesn't work when plugged into the USB recharging output. They sent me a new unit and it had the same problem. They finally claimed "the USB light may not fit to use in the radio". I don't have a cell phone so I don't know if the USB recharging output works for recharging a cell phone. But it doesn't work with the light, so... Meanwhile, the cell phone charger can't come close to fully charging a phone and the solar panel can't come close to fully charging the radio.

WOW where do I start? I just love my new handy dandy, small compact radio flashlight. I love that it's solar chargeable, but can be used by AAA batteries as a backup. And it can be cranked charged... never without power. The packaging was right on point, sturdy. Directions were easy to understand. I've got a story where it would have come in handy. I was camping last weekend, got caught in a storm. Had to take cover in the bath house, had to rely on the flashlight on my cellphone, which ran my battery down. I will certainly recommend to my friend's and family... my son has already tried to get mine.. not gonna happen...

Hi How can I get a hold of you. It worked GREAT till the internal battery was exhausted. It does charge being in the direct sunlight. I am in Florida and we have a lot of sun. Let me know how I can get this replaced. Thank You Susan Update: The company got back to me and told me there were other ways to power the radio. Now I tok in camping Oct 28-till Nov 4th. The volume is all the way up or none at all. Besides the fact I really bought this for the Solar option (that doesn't work) now the Volume. Figures the one year warranty is was OCT 28. Oh well. Will just to have start shopping again. Thank You
