Ready for any emergency
The radio looks exactly as pictured in add. It is very easy to set into operation - comes with easy to understand instructions with pictures. the sound is good across all bands. I like that it is very compact and can be easily carried in a pack or by using the attached lanyard. This is a very good product for the price.Read full review...

So far so good!
This is a light weight, compact radio, but with a shape that seems to keep it from being knocked or blown over outside. Feels about as solid as a compact, plastic electronic radio can, and we’ll see after its first drop or impact! Switches are typically dainty, the tuning knob is a bit sloppy, but with a fine touch, am and wb reception are as good as my formerly better than avg kaito ka009r (that was not tough enough!) The max volume is just barely enough outside on any power source, but the solar does work well and the sound quality isn’t bad for the size. Kind of what i expected. Hope it’s tough.Read full review...

The scratch & dent works perfectly. SW not tested yet.
I did not seriously test the shortwave (SW) yet. I will tonight. All other bands work fine. Audio is plenty loud. WX stations work fine, AM & FM works fine too. Very bright emergency light on the end of radio. The crank looks like one must be careful with it.. a bit on the thin side but works ok if careful. The telescoping antenna is fine but can't go around with it... only up from 0-90 degrees. Actually i AM impressed with it!
For a REAL EMERGENCY this would work perfectly. Yes it has USB jacks (regular & mini) as well as a 3.5mm coaxial jack.
The radio actually FEELS right... it has a solid feeling but be cautious with the hand-crank. Use the crank wisely. Mine came in black & forest green. It's like a pet, i like it ! It takes 3 AAA batts too.
The volume knob is properly sized and works very well. The TUNING knob has sloppiness to it, but given the price... it is serviceable without question. it works.
Again, i have not tested the SW (shortwave) bands yet. But all others work very well. Very please. More than what i was expecting as far as quality goes. This radio could save your life believe it or not.The radio, the light, the crank-powered battery... wonderful.
I would buy another if needed. My quals are: Amateur Radio operator and retired U.S.Coast Guard communications. Stay SAFE and plan-ahead. Semper Paratus! (always ready USCG).Read full review...

One of the best.
Other than a Grundig, which has discontinued manufacture, this has been the best emergency radio I have had. Small and easy to carry and easy to figure out how to use. Also not a battery eater. Only wish it came with an ac adapter instead of a USB charger.Read full review...

A best buy, good quality & features for the price
Pros;
Affordable.
Compact & portable.
Easy to use.
Good build quality.
Uses AAA & internal recharchable batteries.
Has solar and USB charging.
Recieves AM, FM, shortwave & weather bands.
Cons;
Much smaller than most people assume.
Internal rechargable battery is very small and should not be used as main power source or for recharging other devices.
Tunning control is not fine, and finding stations takes practice.

Great little item for the money.
Everything works well. The instructions were a bit daunting for a radio “dummy”, but I stuck with it and am very impressed. It is somewhat hard to pug in the rechargeable battery, but I was able to do it with the end of a pointed but blunt knife end. Perhaps they are not all like that. Anyway, I am giving this at our blind gift exchange and have ordered another for myself. Shortwave is a problem so far but I am in the middle of a large city with lots of interference and will learn more about it. It arrived very quickly.Read full review...

A small but great radio.
Compact radio with good reception. It seems to solar-charge fairly quickly. I haven't used the crank or triple A battery features yet.

Kaito KA350
This is the ONLY unit I have found that has EVERYTHING you'll need to hear ALL the information about ANY emergency. This GREAT thing about this Kaito is that it not only have the "regular" AM/FM/NOAA & weather.. it has SHORT WAVE RADIO... a MUST HAVE during critical situations. AND.. it has it's own internal back-up battery that the SOLAR Panel charges it up. It also has internal 2 AAA batteries. THREE different ways to power this awesome unit. You CANNOT go wrong getting this. It's conveniently small and fits in my to go bag perfectly. It has my 5 Stars :) The shipping and delivery time was exactly as advertised and the unit was packed good.Read full review...

Read this..then buy another!
The two things that would make this radio better are : (1. a better quality tuner, and (2. a better quality read out of what station you are on. Both of these items are very poor.
