Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Midland is easy to program with a large selection of weather alerts that can be customized. I could easily find a frequency with a NOAA broadcast that came in clearly. It was easy to set up. The FM radio reception is fine and it has dual alarm wake up. It also has a battery back up (requiring 4 AA batteries, not included). It has worked well, sending out alerts during some bad storms this summer. Definitely worth the investment especially with the tornadoes we've had this year.

With battery backup this will keep you aware of severe weather in your area at all times. It was easy to set up and works well. It has sounded off a couple of times while I was asleep and it will wake you up to alert you even if you are asleep.

I had the simpler Midland alert unit for about 11 years. This one has potential for 2 alarms as well as fm and am radio station reception. I now awaken to classical music instead of a squaking beeper. Setting for two relevant county alerts seemed more straightforward. Costs more but worth it for me.

Midland has manufactured a great weather station that gives warnings of weather disturbances. It is difficult to set up the county, state, etc. to get relevant information for your area, but once connected, the reports are timely, and very accurate. I highly recommend

Very happy with the Midland weather radio. Easy to program,nice features, alerts are clear and reception has been great. Programmed it to give me my county alerts only. This radio does what it is supposed to do. Very nice design also.

easy to use, loud and clear, right size, would definitely recommend

Amazing! The alert went off in the middle of the night and everyone heard it. Another time during daylight when everyone was in the living room, it alerted and we were able to hear the alert sound. Easy set up.

Quality product. Excellent reception. Dependable. It’s there when you need it the most. Battery backup ensures 100% coverage even when the power goes out. I trust this product to save lives.

This is an excellent weather radio that can also receive AM and FM stations. We owned the older wr120, which is sometimes a bear to program since the menus aren't intuitive and the manual is confusing. This is a much more modern design, it is relatively easy to use. I gave it a 4 based on the fact that it still has a confusing manual but it is much better than the older models. As someone who has owned several Midland products, confusing menus seems to be a feature of that company's radios.

Very easy to set up the first time. Thankfully, haven't had any strong storms yet to see how it works!! However, if this unit operates like the previous one, we will be very happy.

Very effective weather radio! Unlike most other models on the market, this radio can be programmed for only the watches or warnings that are important to you. We live in a tornado belt so that is our prioity..flash floods,thunderstorms etc. Only create needless wake up alarms.

Did not have to use external antenna AM/FM radio works well. Small size fits anywhere.

Works fine once I got the unit set up properly. Instructions are the best. Overall, it works better than the last one I had.

Easy to use and pretty accurate. Great features for the money compared to the competition.

We wanted a SAME weather radio that was loud for emergenciesbut also allowed us to select which counties woild give us alerts so we were not kept up all nihht after storms had passed. This was a good choice and smart the little white midland have to have user interaction to play the alert and to stop the radio. This one starts the message automatically, plays through the alerts and then stops on its own. So we dont have to get up everytime it goes off.

Only had this emergency radio for two days when the first storm came through our area... ! The radio performed as advertised !!

I recently bought this weather radio but so far haven’t had any weather requiring it’s activation, fortunately. The set up was easy but while the warnings covered most weather hazards I never could find tornado warning; I will see how well it responds when the bad spring weather moves in.

Radio easy to setup, does as advertised. and well build for the price.

Good radio , easy setup, I wish the antenna picks up better signal, take a while to get it right

alert radio great four money good sound set up was easy look good
