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.

    Dies in almost exactly 7 days after a full charge. Is this a bad battery or how all of them are??!! The hand crank charges very minimally

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      The ER310 can last up to 2 weeks depending on the usage. If the radio is on 24/7 7 days might happen. We recommend fully charging the ER310 fully with the USB cord and then keep your radio near sunlight and this enhances the charge for longer. MidlandUSA

      The Emergency Alert radios that have a hand crank also have a USB port. It can be difficult to find, but it is under the rubber piece on the side of the radio. The ER radios pick up alerts from local radio stations within 30 miles. The Customer Experience team will be glad to assist you with further troubleshooting or assistance with a radio recommendation that might suit your needs better.

    It’s really important to have a reliable radio with hurricane season approaching, although a little bit more expensive then other models do not be fouled this one is worth the extra. Best Buy is very competitive with price and over normal with shipping. Thank you
