This is a great, and necessary, product if you live in area where hurricanes, tornados or other natural disasters might occur. It is compact, but has ALL the necessary features. It does not need batteries (and therefore you never have to worry about replacing them). Reading the the directions, I learned that if it runs down, the power cell becomes charged when you turn the hand crank. It gives you a chart to let you know how many cranks are necessary to make it work for a certain # of hours. It worked right out of the box. It is already charged. I was immediately able to get the National Weather Service. I was also able to get AM & FM stations. It also has a bright LED lamp that flips up. If you’ve ever had your power go out, you know that you can never have too many light sources. The best feature though is that there is USB plug so that you can charge your Smart Phone (I have an iPhone). This feature not only ensures that you can reach friends, family, and officials, but it also give you the ability to have “entertainment” while you are waiting to the power to go back on.Read full review

Great product for the price! I compared it to the Red Cross model and actually liked the functionality of this one much better. Radio quality is very good with decent volume control. Built in flash/reading lights are also very adequate. I have only two critiques: Be nice if it had a compartment for holding the USB charging cable and there is a cheap plastic toggle switch for Battery/Re-Chargeable Battery Mode. Looks like that could break easily. Nice that I can put it on a window frame and let the solar panel trickle charge the batteries so it is fully ready to use at any given time. Nice buy.
