    Happy with the weather alert radio, easy to set-up and program Appears to be reliable with notifications. This was a replacement for the one we bought 12 years ago - and the price hasn't changed.

    Pulls in signals better than most weather radios (even other Midland models). The radio was even used on a road trip and alerted all of the severe weather in the area; this helped in choosing other routes to avoid mother nature's wrath.

    The weather radio has really come in handy. It has already warned me about severe weather. It was a replacement for one I have had for many years. I highly recommend it because it gives one a good advance warning of impending bad weather and allows one to make preparations for safety.

    We recently moved to FL from NY and our new neighbors suggested we invest in a weather alert radio. We are so happy that we took their advice. In just one month it has already given us two local tornado warnings and numerous severe thunderstorm alerts. We sleep soundly knowing that if severe weather comes during the night we will be awakened in time to take cover if necessary. Wouldn't be without this product!

    Everyone in Nebraska MUST have a weather alert radio, not only for stormy Spring weather, but also for blizzard alerts during the Winter. This is a great radio!

    Easy to set up. Disappointed that there is no external speaker port. I use weather info for "music on hold" feature of phone system. Also, not sure how effective the battery back up is. Radio acted as if dead when unplugged w new batteries installed. If these features are not needed, it would be great.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This weather radio is easy to set up and does what it says-it's only notified me when there were floods and winds close to my area during Harvey. The downside is this product is not available in store, must be ordered online

    My second time owning a weather radio. This one is straight forward and does the job. I like knowing I will be alerted to severe weather even when I'm not paying attention. It's up to you, but I recommend turning off all alerts. You can't disable Tornado Warnings, the only one you really need to wake up in the middle of the night for.

    When there is severe weather in the region, this NOAA radio sure gets the alerting job done, especially with its loud tone (we can hear this all throughout our house). Its many features, such as the digital screen, the lights for advisories, watches and warnings, not to mention the multiple channels and being able to set up counties myself, certainly make this radio all the more useful. With the fair share of severe weather we get in our area, it was well worth the money and I would recommend this product to anyone.

    This is a nice looking and very dependable weather radio. I returned it because I didn't notice when I bought it that it lacked an FM radio asa well. I did order a midland radio with both weather and AM/FM radio.
