Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Emergency Crank Weather Alert Radio's compact size, hand crank feature, weather alert, and ease of use. They appreciate that it is small and portable, making it convenient for emergencies. The hand crank is seen as a reliable way to generate power, especially during power outages. Customers also value the weather alert feature for staying informed during storms. Many find the radio user-friendly, even for older adults. However, some customers have concerns about the battery life, as it does not hold a charge for an extended period when not plugged in.

    I had one of these before. It got lost in a move. I found it very handy during an extended power outage once.

    About the only complaint I have on this is the battery doesn't seem to last very long when its not plugged in. Other than that its simple to use and seems to be well made. The emergency alert is LOUD and gets your attention easily. Overall, good product, I would recommend it.

    Love this little guy! Came in handy during Hurricane Beryl. Worked like a charm. Better yet, it provided my special needs daughter with some white noise that she needs in order to sleep well. It’s not a feature, just what happens when there’s no signal on the WX channel.
