The premier brand of weather radio. I use all the time. I replaced my previous one after abot 8-9 years of use. It finally wore out.

This is an OK weather radio for the money. Not a lot of bells and whistles. Basic alert and monitoring functions. Which is all I need right now. I didnt have a bunch to spend. My old faithful Midland Weather radio that we've had for over 20 years finally wore out or gave up (maybe fell once too often). Since we live in a place where severe storms and tornadoes are possible, I refuse to be without a Midland Weather Radio. We have bought them for our parents and kids for their homes also. Nothing will come close in features or performance. And when payday comes, I will upgrade to another Midland.

This is a fairly sophisticate product and allows you so be alerted only for specified counties (SAME Specific Area Message Encoding). About the only thing it cannot do is react only to specific types of emergencies. The user interface is just a bit complicated to learn, but overall not bad. Sadly this model has a known flaw where the radio stops working and instead of the weather radio station audio all you get is a single tone continuously. Apparently, reading reviews and info online, this can happen right out of the box from new-old stock, or can develop after a few years use. But is is apparently quite common, and it happened to me within a week of purchasing it. NOTE that once the problem occurs the unit will no longer switch on during an alert, so the user is oblivious to the fact they no longer have this important tool operational unless they make the effort to confirm that they receive periodic test message. I wish I had know about this flaw as I would have bought some other radio. I bought this one and it failed within a week. Midland wants over $45 to fix it which is more than it is worth. I won't be buying anything from them again! Since I bought it on eBay there's no guarantee coverage so I am out of luck. Not fair to blame this on the seller.Read full review

Easy to program. Arrived in great condition, ready to use. This is my third over the years and all have performed perfectly.

Only worked the first day and now I hear absolutely nothing on any of the channels and I have the weather switch turned on. It doesn't even turn on if I have just batteries in it. I can't get the radio set up because of this! Will not buy a used radio again. I was able to hear the weather man talking on it on the first day and now I can't even hear that anymore. I don't understand what the issue is and i'm pretty disappointed.
