Tried weatherX & Midland weather radio. WeatherX got way better reception in our rural area. We enjoy the flashlight feature & several ways to power it.

I bought because of the solar power option. I plugged in when I first got it and tested all the different options, emergency siren, flashlight open, Flood light option radio (am/fm) and weather channel all works. You could use batteries for this but since it has solar power option I havent put any in it. I have since used this only on solar power for flood light and radio. Works great. I did test out the crank option and it appears to work (charge light lights up)....Havent truly tested this option. There is also a USB port to charge phone. Not sure if Im using that correctly because it did not charge my phone or fire tablet...that is my only negative. Overall thought this was worth the price.

Got this for Fl Hurricane season because of all the features packed into such a small package. Havent used it yet but a lot of thought went into it. Runs on AA batteries and has internal rechargeable ones also with a hand crank. Contains a solar light and has standard FM and a weather band. Hope I wont have cause to use it but glad I have it
