Emergency Hand Crank Radio, FORNORM Solar Radio 2000mAh Power Bank Wind Up Radios with Phone Charger and 4 LED Reading Lamp, AM/FM/7 NOAA, 4 Power Methods, Green

Like that it’s solar and hand powered and has a torch and a light. Quality of the sound is okay

This really isn't a bad unit. It's quite rugged, and designed for purpose. Ok, the radio comes out of a really small speaker and the volume isn't fantastic but it's an emergency radio and it does its job. It has a decent enough adjustable beam spot light, a small flood light, it can take 3x AAA batteries for backup, it has quite a stiff hand crank which makes it difficult to crank for a very long time and it has a small solar cell. Would I buy it again? For this purpose, yes.

Like the 4 optional charging methods that should mean you need never be without being able to listen. Small and compact makes it easy to take with you.

The product worked really well then after 4 weeks i started having problems with the tuning, even though it was charged up and in the same place it had been working previous. not impressed, wouldn't buy another one like this.

Great solar radio, easy to tune in, very good sound. Unable to comment on battery life at the moment as I am still using solar power alone which was exactly what I'd hoped for, so have given it will be 5 stars.

The write-up about the product claims that it's an emergency charger for your phone. It's not. I tested it with three new AAA batteries, with my phone on 78% (because the instructions said that it wouldn't do a full charge). The batteries drained completely, and the phone still wasn't at all more charged than it was going in. I decided to try turning the phone off to see if that would help, but it didn't. When I turned the phone back on a couple of hours later, the charging icon still showed as charging, but the phone was at 70%, and the new batteries were completely dead. So, if you need an emergency charger, this ain't it. It's a good torch, and an adequate (barely) radio if you're in an area where you usually get strong signal. I wouldn't count on it if you're out in the wilderness. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for anything but a torch, and you can buy a torch that's just as good for £3.

Have just used this over the weekend camping. Required no batteries at all - just a quick wind up on the first morning and the solar powered. Was played continuously for about 5 hours in the afternoon (out in the sun), then for another couple of hours at night. Still worked perfectly the following morning with no more winding and not in the sunlight either. Radio looks to be robust for outside use and for chucking in a rucksack for camping trips. Just remember to push the arial in as this could snap off if not stored correctly. Sound quality is pretty good for a small radio. Volume easy to control and tuning was easy as well. Didn't really need the aerial either. Very impressed so far and would definitely recommend a purchase.

Seemed like a great little device but it never worked right. Solar panel never worked - I left it in my greenhouse so it got direct sun all summer and no charge. A lot of winding is required to charge the battery to listen to the radio - about 3 minutes of winding gives about 20 minutes radio. I have charged the device fully inside using USB but now the radio won't work, maybe because I left the device in the greenhouse. I wouldn't buy again. I am not sure what 'sheerness' means in the review heading?

De radio werkte niet. Ook niet met batterijen . Heb hem retour gestuurd. Tot nu toe nog geen reactie hierover

Das Gerät ist einfach zum Handhaben, es hat auch sofort funktioniert. Entweder mit Sonne, oder paarmal kurbeln, und es läuft schon. Habe dann den Akku mittels USB aufgeladen und Batterien eingelegt, somit ist es immer einsatzbereit. Zu diesem Preis echt super!

Voll funktionsfähig. Bin sehr zufrieden und würde es wieder kaufen.

Sehr schnelle Lieferung. Radio: Bei AM kein Empfang (nur Rauschen). FM geht tadellos. Verwende das Gerät mit Batterien, da es bei einem Blackout Nachrichten empfangen soll. Solarpannel aufgrund von Witterungsverhältnissen nicht testbar. Aufladen externer Geräte möglich (Achtung: nicht vergessen den Schalter direkt neben dem Einschalten der SOS Funktion an der Unterseite des Geräts zu betätigen). Das hätte ich zunächst übersehen (in der Gebrauchsanweisung nur unzureichend beschrieben) und konnte daher nicht laden. Zum Laden die Ladekabel der jeweiligen Geräte (Kindle, Samsung Galaxy) verwenden. Beides hat bei mir tadellos funktioniert. Fazit: guter Allrounder mit einigen Macken. Update: im Dezember letzten Jahres gekauft. Seither nie benutzt. Jetzt, im April des Folgejahres, also nach 4 Monaten, kein Radioempfang. Das Gerät kann man nur noch wegschmeißen.

Macht was es soll, Kurbel genial wenn man die Lampe braucht, Sirene weckt tote 😀.
