    Salesman knew exactly what I was looking for, and helped me order it. The radio arrived in 2 days. I feel better prepared for the hurricane season, and purchased 4 of them so that I could share with other family members.

    This is not designed to be your best radio, it’s designed to be the one that will see you through a blackout or an evacuation. I haven’t had to use this on the run yet, but all the functions test out a-ok.

    This is a very solid radio. The only reason I took a star off is that it takes quite a bit more cranking to charge up the battery than was indicated in the manual and on Wirecutter's review (but it does work well and for a good length of time).

    For a small weather radio this works great. It has a lot of features and will wake you up if an alert is sent out so precautions can be taken.

    Bought 3 for various family members. Really needed more info about product. I will probably get more when my home is rebuild, liked my old one better than this one. It goes off and the noise is horrible but don't know how to reset,

    Hopefully I never actually have to use it, but the included instructions were very thorough and I was able to get all of its described functions working well (after I charged it up).

    Alarm went off during tornado warning— very loud and strobe light was flashing too. You won’t sleep thru that alarm! With another hurricane on the way I’m glad we have it
