Reviews around feature (4.47 of 5)

  • Finally, let's talk about the most contentious feature: the cellphone charging
  • A second annoying “feature” is that the radio electronics can be damaged by temperatures found in a car.
  • The KA500BU has all the same features on paper, but it just didn't work for my needs
  • Overall, appears to be a very good emergency radio with many good features
  • But for $50 the solar feature was important to me, but after 10 hours in full sun...nothing...it doesn’t work.

Reviews around crank (3.90 of 5)

  • I will treat it very carefully and hope the crank doesn't break in a real emergency
  • The crank and solar both work, and it picks up emergency singles very well.
  • Hands down best crank radio we have ever used as well as the solar panel which added a great feature all in 1 item plus many other perks
  • a crank on a $300 radio will break just as fast if you abuse it
  • With several emergency lighting options, crank, solar, rechargeable, standard AA (3 count) battery, AC adapter (not included) and USB charging options, you pretty much have whatever method you need to power it up in an emergency.

Reviews around situation (2.73 of 5)

  • As others have stated, the hand crank does seem not as durable as others, just be mindful of this when cranking, but the multitude of power options combined with its features make this radio and excellent option for those unknown situations or the occasional camping/hiking trip
  • n’t vouch for the battery life, since i just received it, but after 60 seconds of cranking I was able to liston to the FM radio and a weather station and charge my IPad.
  • In addition to being a portable AM/FM radio it also has two bands of short wave radio for critical situations when AM and FM are down.
  • It will meet your emergency electronics needs any situation.
  • A useful emergency radio when you are stuck in a precarious situation

Reviews around time (2.57 of 5)

  • Works great, my son uses this all the time for the radio function.
  • I have yet to try charging my cellular phone or other devices using this radio, but I presume it will be a slow (very slow) charge time for it, as it is for my solar cellular charger.
  • However, it did have a hard time trying to charge my Samsung S8 phone.
  • The best use of the solar panel is to enhance the running time of batteries that are already charged.
  • Pesimists are going to have a hard time no matter what, anyways I am happy with my lil yellow radio.

Reviews around wire (2.28 of 5)

  • I could foresee this wearing out/breaking the wire over time.
  • I broke the AC adapter wire and had trouble finding a an adapter that worked.
  • Like all of these type of radios that have short wave receivers, you'll need the short wave antenna (long wire) to actually receive a signal.
  • The radio with fixed directional antenna gets better reception than my tabletop Panasonic with that useless floppy antenna wire
  • I made mine out of a galvanized trash can a ground wire and a steel stake pounded into the ground in my basement
