4 out of 5 stars It's exactly what I wanted   July 2, 2010

I needed an emergency radio and I got one. It works just fine. I don't know why it has such poor reviews. It performs exactly how it is advertised. Did anyone really expect to get a superior multi-band radio for under 100 dollars? Did anyone really expect to use this radio for its sound quality? Get with it people, you get what you pay for, and this is a fine product when used as it was intended.


2 out of 5 stars Emergency only, then only inside   June 22, 2010

I got this a week ago. Mine has a mini USB jack that is supposed to recharge the battery. Indicator showed it was charging. After 3 days of charging, I unplug and it and it dies in 1 minute. Tech support picked up after 30 minutes of hold heck. They're sending a new battery. Other than that, its super cool. The display is great, radio is ok, but not very good reception. MP3 doesn't work, but tech said it had to be set to 'am' or 'fm' to play from aux jack. Wierd. I'll try. Hopefully it works. If it doesn't, Its going back.

I bought both this one and the little one for 30.00, and I thought this one was more difficult to operate and did not keep a charge as well. Also, the solar panel did not charge the batteries as well as expected. It works ok but not stellar. We'll see for the future. I'm going to keep it anyway.

This radio works great! Perfect for power outages, no need to have batteries on hand.

This is a great all in one emergency product. Functionally performs well.
It could be improved by:
* Increased battery capacity
* Improved switches and dials. Tougher construction, more tightly fitted and embedded into body i.e. non-protruding
* "Bump points" as this product is primarily intended for use in the outdoors i.e. "rubber" corners to absorb knocks.
