Auto NOAA Digital 5000 Weather Radio with Backlit LCD Screen, 5 Way Powered Solar Hand Crank Portable AM/FM/Shortwave Emergency Radio/Phone Charger,Read Lamp/Camping Flashlight,Earbud Jack,Clock,SOS

This emergency radio is a great item to have at home, especially during power outages. The sound is clear and it’s easy to tune into stations. I like that it has multiple charging options, which makes it very practical. It feels sturdy and well made. Definitely a smart purchase for emergencies

Wasn't there for me when needed. Stay away. I bought this radio last October in anticipation of winter power outages in Vermont. I charged it up fully and tested it for a few days. Everything worked well. I set it aside on a windowsill with the small solar panel facing south in order to keep the battery charged. When a recent power outage happened, I had to push the "power" button at least 20 times to turn it on. Then struggled to get the local radio station. Finally, I could not turn the thing off, regardless of how many times I pushed the power button. My finger was numb by the time I was able to shut this radio off. I then tried to start it and experienced the same problem. I am no longer counting on this thing to be there for me in an emergency. You best look elsewhere. Important Update: After posting my initial negative review I emailed the company's customer service department. Surprise! I heard back a day later with suggestions about how to reset the radio's inner system. In addition, they offered either to replace the radio at no cost to me, or refund the purchase price. Amazing!!! So, I followed the simple step to reset the radio, and I have tested it repeatedly each day for several days. Everything works as advertised. For the price, this radio is a good deal. For the customer service, it is a great deal. 5 stars.

The CR1009Pro does and has basically all the things you could cram into an emergency radio like this. Except USB-C. Shortwave radio, a headphone jack, a 5000mAh battery, 3xAAA battery backup, a nylon carrying handle, a replaceable battery and a digital radio tuner may be difficult to find on other radios, especially in combination. And it has a backlit LCD display that shows battery level, frequency, time and whatever else. Has a flashlight at the front with a low/high mode, and a reading light at the top, also with a low/high mode. They're decent enough. Same goes for the speaker. This is for listening to the radio, not throwing a hootenanny and/or shindig. It of course also has AM and FM radio, a solar panel and crank for emergency power, and a USB out for charging stuff. And an SOS button that makes a red light at the front flash and the speaker emit an annoying noise. Has NOAA WX weather radio alert stuff, which I presume can be useful for people in the US. The antenna is about 24cm. Could probably be longer to increase the chance of better reception. Reception under circumstances beyond just sitting in my home, is not something I've tested, but I'm not too confident. Seems kind of touchy, but it might be fine. One thing I've found to be questionable is how well the included battery holds a charge. Don't know if this is normal for this type of battery (2170 li-ion), but I charged the thing fully, put it in a closet for around 7 months, and now it's completely dead. Seems like unwanted behavior for a product like this. I missed or forgot this information, but noticed now that the manual implies that with power off, the battery will gradually discharge until completely empty and puts that number at 6500 hours. Don't know when exactly my battery got depleted, but I took it out of the closet at roughly 5000 hours. So do keep in mind that you can't just put this radio in storage and expect it to be ready, you will need to occasionally check up on the battery and charge as necessary. I'd want to do that maybe once every two months. And it does not seem to want to turn on with only the 3xAAA backup. Tried putting in fresh batteries and nothing. Either the backup in my radio is busted or it can only switch to it if the radio is on when the main battery runs out. Maybe an area that could be improved in a future revision. UPDATE: Roughly a month after charging it until it told me it was fully charged, I turned it on to check the battery level and it's now down to 3 bars.

All of the features work just as described. We had a weather event the day we received the radio. They radio alarmed from NOAA for a thunder storm warning with high winds. I could not figure out how to to turn off the radio when not needed during fair weather. I contacted the support email and they answered in two days. You have to switch away from the wx. Then it will power down. Good radio, good support.

Works great it does everything it says great for power outages you can still charge your phone and listen to the weather and other stations with flash lights on it battery or solar charge

Following the fires, in Australia, I wasn't going to get caught out without a radio of phone changer. This product meets the bill. While the quality of reception is not premium it is still usable. It will be one of those handy devices that I have in the cupboard.
