Great except won't hold a charge very long. Good thing it has hand crank

We love this mighty little radio bought it for camping mostly because of the crank to charge ability (never fail needing a radio and having the batteries die when you needed it). Sent one to my daughter in Florida they have it in their hurricane ready box .

If you have black outs in your neighborhood this is perfect for you, I had one and didn’t have a flash light so I got this, you don’t need to do a lot of cranking when it’s on 0%

We use these radios for giveaways to our followers and have gotten nothing but amazing feedback. Will continue to use these for our promotions! Can find us on FB at Gulf Coast Storm Chasers

Purchased this emergency radio in case if or my family will have to use it one day. It’s very convenient- small and light. You can charge this unit in 3 different ways - cranking for 3, solar which is conventially place on top of the radio or ny usb (cable is included).

Good weather radio with 3 power options (miniUSB, solar, and hand crank) and backlight make this incredibly useful. The 3 bands (WX, AM, and FM) came in clearly in the city. I originally bought this for a drive through Oklahoma and Kansas during tornado season, and it worked well. It continues to be a good, portable option closer to home.

Good price and compact unit. Easy to use. Good gift idea

I have been buying these when they go on sale to give as inexpensive, practical gifts to people. I have had a higher end version of this radio that includes a "dog whistle," but I doubt that feature will ever be useful. Another feature this one lacks but would be useful is the ability to run it off a few AA batteries, however, according to the manual, this one uses the same 3.7V DC, 2600 mAh lithium ion cell (18650) battery that should be more easily purchased and replaced than some of the other current Midland. According to manuals of some other Midland radios, it seems you need to remove the back of the casing to remove the battery AND it uses a more proprietary version of the battery that connects via a wire. While you shouldn't need to replace the battery too soon or too often, it should be much easier with this radio.

It’s a great little radio. The speakers aren’t the best quality but is expected. The solar panel works great for charging as well as the crank. It’s perfect for emergency or to use every day

This is just what I wanted, we had fun learning how it works and then listening to music. Who knew they were hard to find at certain times of the year. Thank you Best Buy!

It seems like it'll do what it says. Little disappointed in the sound quality but it is small. Really come handy in a case of an emergency or a bad situation.

compact, easy to recharge, and gets great radio reception

This Midland Emergency radio is great! You can charge it with USB port or you can crank charge it. This radio is clear and easy to use. I love it !

Seems to be pretty solid and do whats supposed to do. I only briefly played with it after getting it. The hand crank definitely generated enough power to turn on the flashlight.

Nice radio, i have another similar radio that does not work as well and not very easy to use. This radio is great, easy to find stations.

Digital tuning, but no presets. Solar, crank, & ac recharge.

This is a great product and great value. It works well, is small and lightweight so it's easy to keep with you and works as advertised. Highly recommended.

Great small radio for emergency use, especially with the crank. the solar power back up works slow but it's there for back up.

Purchased this as a Mother’s Day gift. It works great and gave Mom peace of mind when a storm blew in and the cable and internet went down. She was able to track progress of the weather conditions until the event was over.

Bought it for the hurricane season. Have not used yet but I tried it out and just amazed that this little thing works just as it said it would. I love that it can charge devices and so compact that it can be used for picnics. So I am set if a hurricane should come.
