    Awful audio quality. Unable to receive weather broadcasts even though three other radios in my home had no problem. Shortwave reception unusable (multiple images, etc.). I returned it and instead purchased a Radio Shack Emergency AM/FM/Weather Band Crank Radio 20-108. It has excellent audio quality, and good Weather Band reception. (I am not affiliated with Radio Shack.)

    I haven’t even listened to the radio – didn’t even crank it once. As soon as I realized their waterproofing was a PLASTIC BAG, I sent it back. We need a radio for fishing on the boat or kayaking down the river. I could have “waterproofed” a regular radio that I already had with a plastic bag – then I would have saved $40.

    The radio was a gift and a treasure since. In an emergency it will give information using batteries, wall plug or wind-up. The surface is durable and attractive and I wouldn’t hesitate to give it to someone. The volume and sound are clear and it has many stations to choose from. I give it a happy FIVE!

    I purchase this radio last year as a part of my hurricane survival kit. As it turns out, I got to test it during hurricane IKE. All the options worked very well. It held a charge for a good amount of time and the hand crank came in handy. At one point during the storm, it was just me, the howling of the wind battering my house and this tiny radio. I was very glad to have it. The little light on the side came in handy too.

    4 star rating note: I’ve used this radio for quite a while since the storm. It ended up finding a home in my bathroom, post hurricane IKE, to hear the weather and road reports while I was getting ready in the morning (I had no power for quite a few days). After using this radio for almost a year I’ve noticed a small electrical sort in the volume control (which is also how you turn it on). I have to turn the radio volume up and down a few items to get the speaker to work correctly.

    Good bargain. I ordered this a while back to have in case of emergencies. Mainly for the weather band and light. It has more than paid for itself twice now. Most recently with Hurricane Ike outages. Very bright single LED light. Small and doesn’t take up much room. Only thing I would have liked is a backlit dial.
