Got for my dad and he loves it, nice radio, crank and light

The lights are bright and the hand crank easy to use.

It does everything I need, especially love the FM and the hand crank for my cell phone.

I have previously purchased another brand of this type of portable hand-crank radio and this radio is much, much better built

This weather radio is perfect I love the hand crank as well as solar charging

I haven't used the crank to charge yet, but the solar and USB work well.

a crank on a $300 radio will break just as fast if you abuse it

I haven't tried out the 380 degree rotating solar panel yet, but the crank works well with the rechargable Ni-MH battery pack, the USB charges the Ni-MH batteries from my computer just

Breaking these pins or breaking the crank will ensure that you spend more time than you thought you would charging the radio

A few seconds of turning the crank and the battery powers up really well, and power lasts for quite a while.

Others complained that crank is flimsy

Hands-down, this is the best portable, hand-crank, radio

It has many great options - electric, crank, battery & solar plus 2 lights (one great for reading with & one as an emergency flasher), AM/FM & weather bands

I really like that the radio has regular AA batteries as well as rechargeable batteries/solar & crank recharging

The options are plentiful & work well - reading light is bright - crank to charge is speedy - I really like that the rechargeable battery can be unhooked when the radio is stored

The last one of these sorts of things I got worked great when I got it, but was completely dead, even to cranking, at its first six-month check

The crank feels solid enough.

It needs to be handled with care, but the crank feels solid and easy to use.

The crank works.

strong and clear, crank charges it up, and the USB and phone charging is a bonus

Good charging crank and plug ins for cell phones and electronics

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.

I love that there is a battery option, as well as the solar and the crank.

Great crank/battery charge action

He loved the solar crank and light.

The crank works better than the "solar " charger

The radio is very strong and powered right up as soon as I cranked to charge the rechargeable battery

The cranking is very easy and does not take long

crank broke easily

a crank on a $300 radio will break just as fast if you abuse it

The crank and solar both work, and it picks up emergency singles very well.

Good reception, the crank works well!

The crank is low resistance and folds neatly.

Excellent crank system with multiple charging methods.

The crank is easy to turn, just take it at a comfortable pace, you shouldn't break the crank

The capability of using the available hand crank and the ability to charge my cell phones in times of emergency is a major plus.

We really liked the hand crank and the flashlight

The crank works well

Crank wasnt working right out of the box and to be

crank is on left side & somewhat awkward to use

The Dynamo Crank worked great and had a chance to engage the solar panel on the device

The Dynamo Crank worked great and had a chance to engage the solar panel on the device

Have not tested solar yet but crank did well.

Crank felt sturdy while cranking.

I will treat it very carefully and hope the crank doesn't break in a real emergency

it works as long as you're cranking, you stop cranking, it stops working..right now!

Previous reviews said the hand crank was weak, well I don't believe it was meant to be cranked beyond its physical limits, just use a consistent steady crank.

Plus I would like the crank to be made out

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

I seldom need the crank power but the solar power feature works great and the light comes in handy

Love the rechargeable batteries and hand crank.

Crank is fine and the lights work nice and brightly

This radio has a very good quality hand crank that does not need a lot of turning to operate the radio

solid crank handle sturdy and everything worked just as described.

Turn the crank one minute and the radio works for an hour??

I like the variety of power options available - crank, solar, AC, battery,

Solar panel hinges seem solid, crank is quiet and feels well built (with care it should last)

I was impressed by how easy the crank was to charge with

Only negative is not coming with the A/C charger, but Amazon customers get a free A/C charger for posting a review.

The flashlight is powerful and has several difference option to the lighting settings as well as to power it

I have tried all the features and it works as it should.

While this will help prevent you losing your station if you have to move the radio, it gave me concern about something breaking as I am tuning the radio
