Customers are saying

Customers find value in the Emergency Crank Weather Alert Radio's ease of use, overall performance, and convenient size for carrying. Many appreciate its weather alert feature and the inclusion of a flashlight and AM/FM radio. The hand crank and multiple charging options are also seen as beneficial, while some customers feel the battery life could be improved.

    Without power, this is vital and important. In fact I have already used it once in the tornado season that we are experiencing in 2024.

    I'm currently camping 40 minutes west of Sioux Falls. We have had severe weather all week and I can't get any weather stations out here on this radio. I bought it after camping near Omaha and my phone not alerting me to a tornado on the ground near us (in the middle of the night). I was hoping for peace of mind. But this was a worthless purchase unless I'm in a metro area evidently.
