    Mine went out after about 6 months. I still have it plugged in, but can't get it to do anything. It never give us any warnings during that time, but I could press a button and hear static once in awhile to see it it worked. Now it does nothing.

    Effective and great price

    This little jewel can be set to only go off when the emergency conditions you choose arise in the counties you chose. You can make it sound an alarm or speak the warning in an odd but effective computer voice. Stick some batteries in it and it will continue to work when the power goes out. The volume can be adjusted so you can put it by your bed or in the middle of the house. And it's a great value too. I didn't hear it in my basement office with the door closed when it went off on the upstairs balcony, so it's not THAT loud, but everyone who wasn't in such a safe underground location heard it just fine.

    Good warning system but NEEDS volume control.

    Other than the annoying loudness of the warning alarm, this is a good weather radio. I live in a small condo. When the alarm goes off, it is deafening. They need to add a volume control to this radio!

    Decent radio, works well and easy to program. Appears a lot cheaper in construction than previous models. The previous models had a lot of issues so only time will tell if this one will hold up.

    Bought two of these. They worked fine for about a year, but now both of them randomly lose their settings and can’t seem to be setup again. They suck.
