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'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.
