This completely met my expectations. The quality of the radio is great, it feels sturdy and not cheap at all. It's a lot smaller than I expected but that's not a bad thing at all. It charged quickly using the power cord but of course we had to play around with the crank charger first and after just a few minutes of cranking, it was charged enough to power on and use. There was no setup required. I love the fact that it has three sources of energy. The radio is great, its easy to get a signal and scroll through the channels. I love that you can use it to charge your devices. The alarm is very loud and the flashlight and reading lights are both bright and extremely useful in a power outage. I would 10/10 recommend buying this. Read more
I needed a small radio in the house for emergencies. During a move, I lost an older radio that I always kept ready for a power outage. This Raynic Emergency Radio is rechargeable, has lights, FM and AM Band plus weather alerts and antenna. Thankfully, I have not had to use it yet for an emergency or power outage but I did tune it in to a couple of Radio Stations and it has a nice sound - not a lot of static. Great price point, overnight delivery, works well - fully charged - I'm very happy with my purchase, would buy again and recommend to family of friends. Read more
This is an exceptionally capable, lightweight radio - with a couple of key things missing and odd button placement. I bought it on a suggestion from Kim Komando. It has many great functions and abilities - but I will list the things I would change . First, the volume up and down buttons are reversed from what an American user would expect. They have + on left and - on right. Tune buttons would seem reversed as well. The big deal for me though is - NO ability to memorize favorite channels. ALSO, every time I turn the radio on, it starts in Wx mode - silent, so you have to pick the band you were last on and re-tune the radio every single time it's powered on. This radio has SO MANY other abilities, that it seems these should be possible. And yet, these items are noticeably missing. In all other ways, the radio is great - and so I did not return it, but now have it as a monitor/backup source during storms and outages. I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the two missing items I think it should have. Read more
I had been wanting to get an AM/FM radio to stop using my phone and saw this one has the weather alert feature too. The different power options are great allowing you to take it wherever you want. It has the push buttons, not dials, but it does well in going through the different stations. I haven't checked out the shortwave feature yet, so that'll be interesting. It's small but yet when fully reaching your station you can hear it very well. I like Moody or Bott Radio and I'm thankful to get it clearly plus of course music. It is serving its purpose! It arrived quickly overnight. It arrived charged and I put it on a window (it's small enough to just sit on top of the bottom part of a regular window) for better reception and had it on a low volume while I worked so it wasn't overpowering yet I could hear the good things in the background. Then when not on the phone turned up the volume push button and it's amazing, nice and clear. I had wanted a retro radio but this one had more to offer. The small strap is handy, you can attach it to things. It's 6 inches or so wide (check your dimensions for what you want), so very small but efficient design and usability for it's size. The 6 led lights for reading or whatever are bright and adequate and has 2 levels of light. Flashlight has 2 levels of light. The charge seems to last a good while but I haven't had it on for a very long time, but had it on for at least 6 hours while working without it being plugged in. I'm so glad this little radio has so much to offer and I'm impressed. Great buy for sure. Read more
This little radio was quite useful during the blizzard this week in Boston. I was able to charge my phone, listen to the radio. My power was out for 8 hours . Easy to use, lightweight, and reliable. I was lucky the power outage was short but having the radio as my companion for the duration was awesome. For anyone who lives alone this is the perfect gift to give. Everyone should always be prepared for emergencies. Read more
I am super excited about this little radio. Much smaller than I thought but the sound quality, receiver signal strength, volume control, ease of use, and the quality are entirely exceptional. The brightness on the flashlight was pretty descent and the reading led is very nice to use. I love the idea with the internal battery, solar charging, hand crank, and backup batteries is very clever so you will not run out of power when you need it. Read more
The choice of power options makes this radio a good choice. Living geographically between Philadelphia and Allentown, the radio picks up both weather stations with no problem. Sensitivity is more than adequate on AM and FM, and short wave is OK, but tuning short wave can be a long process. Flashlight is a handy plus, and the price was reasonable. Sound is good, considering the relatively small speaker. Read more
Charged wonderfully! Worked great as well. I loved that it has an option to take batteries so if your in a pickle your radio will still work without cranking. This is my second radio I've purchased and this brand and model is way better then my last one. Read more
