I bought this to add to my 72-hour emergency kit. First off, the radio reception is super solid I was able to pick up AM/FM and weather stations clearly without a lot of static, even where other devices struggle. When I left the radio on at max volume along with both lights on high for an hour, it didn’t lose a single charge bar on the indicator, which says a lot about the battery life. Battery & Charging: Fully charged it holds power really well and doesn’t drain quickly like cheaper gear. Solar and hand-crank charging are nice to have, but the hand crank really is what it is — slow and low-output; expect to crank a lot before you see significant charge. The included cable and USB output mean you can charge phones or other devices in a pinch. Flashlight: The built-in flashlight is bright and reliable great for power outages, camping, or late-night emergencies. Build Quality: Feels decent for an emergency device not rugged-military strength, but sturdier than the cheapest combos you see on Amazon. I wouldn’t throw it around, but it should survive normal drops and bumps. Overall: This is a solid multifunction emergency tool that’s great for a kit or car glovebox. The radio reception and battery longevity are real strengths, and while the hand crank isn’t something you’ll want to use regularly, it does work in a pinch. For the price and features, I’d recommend it to anyone looking to boost their preparedness gear. Overall this is a dependable and versatile piece of gear for emergency kits, camping, or road trips. The radio reception and battery performance are real strengths. Just don’t count on the hand crank as your primary power source unless you’re prepared to put in a bit of work. Read more

I got this for emergency situations since you never know what could happen and I think having both solar and hand crank power options is important. It’s a little bit on the large side but it’s small enough to throw in your go bag. It’s definitely portable and comes with a carry strap for easy carrying. The flashlight is bright enough for most situations however the spot could be a lot bigger and I love the lamp since that will def come in handy for blackouts but that could be a bit brighter too The radio works fine and offers both AM and FM frequencies. I was able to pick up all the local stations as long as I had the antenna up. I haven’t really had a chance to test the battery life but I will report on that later. For the price I think it’s def worth the value for peace of mind. You get light, power and communications. Pros: It has a flashlight It has a lamp Radio Backup power Solar and crank Cons: Flashlight spot could be bigger Overall I think this or something like it is needed in every house. JUST IN CASE.

Overall a very good radio and piece of emergency equipment. Radio picks up FM and weather stations easily and well. The flashlights work well. If you flip up the solar panel, there is a “flood light” on the back side which is very handy. Battery seems to last long which is nice. Especially if you only use the radio only. I subtract 1 star because the solar panel is USELESS. I tried for 4 days with constant sunlight to recharge the battery with the solar panel and couldn’t even get 1/4 charge. I was able to run the radio which is nice. So if you decide to go with this radio, do not expect the solar panel to do anything for you. Overall it’s a good radio to add to your emergency kit.

I love this radio. It has all features that I want, radio, weather, flash light, reading light, and hand crank, as well as a charger. Unfortunately the reading light does not charge (it is solar). I can't wait for the new radio to arrive. Return was easy and I am returning the item to Kohl's with return information. Read more

Great product!!! I have used it several times during emergencies. It has not disappointed. I was able to listen to the news on radio, charge my phone, and have light. Great solar powered, hand crank, or electric recharging. I let my generator handle the bigger jobs,but the convenience and quality is worth it. I recommend this product for every home. It is definitely great to have during disasters and power outages!!!! Read more

Let me start by saying that like many people, I sometimes don't get a product until after I find myself in a situation where said product could have come in handy. Recently where I live, we experienced a power outage between one day and 7 Days. I was amongst the people who was out of power for 3 Days. During those 3 days, life was a little inconvenient. Because of my situation, I need to stay connected to the outside world. Having a radio like this is wonderful because it will help. But added bonus of the solar charging is great so that if the juice runs out, you can get more thanks to good old regular sunlight. Although the flashlight won't do me any good personally, I am sure that for those with working eyeballs, it will be much appreciated. The fact that it has a battery bank for your phone is a plus but it is not the main reason why I purchased it. Personally, I think a dedicated battery Bank will do better for this situation. I also like the fact that it has an SOS siren. The thing is loud. Definitely works. All in all, I would say get it. Yes, there are other similar radios on the market with less features or that cost less. However, this one is made Solid, it is light, it is easy to use, and for those who don't have working eyeballs, it is completely tactile so a person who can see can use it even with their eyes closed.
