Reviews around light (4.25 of 5)

  • , the radio has great range as far as finding stations, the weather station works perfectly, the light is very bright, it has a reading light under the solar panel that gives a wide bright light and is perfect for when the power goes out or if you just want to listen to the ball game while working out in the yard.
  • There is a powerful light, a flashlight, an am/fm radio, a solar panel, a generator....and it all works!
  • the light on back of solar panel is nice and bright , flashlight however DOES NOT WORK
  • “find me” alarm as well as an LED flashlight and separate reading light that is very bright.
  • Initial review: The radio and crank work well, but the light has some problems.

Reviews around sound (4.05 of 5)

  • The radio has picked up the stations i want to hear, and has a good sound.
  • Be it weather, AM, or FM, it is right there with decent sound, considering the size.
  • The sound disappear and fades and you have slap the radio
  • Radio search turned up some decent ones and I knew the sound would be right as I have one of those in my garage, they had the right size battery too, so what is stopping me
  • The sound comes out very clear , not like the old transistor radios from earlier days.

Reviews around reception (3.59 of 5)

  • In fact, in order to turn the tuning dial you need to hold the radio...somehow your hand acts like an antenna; when you put the radio down, you lose your reception
  • The RunningSnail's AM reception is not as good, but it's close
  • However, when you're out somewhere it barely recognizes radio stations and once you finally dial one in you think you're good...except that within minutes the radio will lose reception.
  • Much smaller than I thought for $29.00, reception was not good
  • We live close to the city, though, so the signal is still strong enough that it has a clear, static-free reception even without the antenna

Reviews around tornado warning (2.65 of 5)

  • This was great when we lost power recently during tornado warnings and needed updates.

  • Instead of "emergency ready" or "survival preparedness" I would use the word "fragile" to describe it's quality

Reviews around bite (1.80 of 5)

  • The alarm thing is a bit useless and annoying if you accidentally hit it
  • Reception is adequate i na suburban area.
  • Would be really cool bit the one time I took it out, the flashlight didn't work
  • The dials are a bit hard to turn, and may be a challenge for someone with arthritus or bigger fingers
  • You can focus the beam a bit, but it doesn't really improve it that much, might get a bit more distance out of it when focused.4

Reviews around sos (1.61 of 5)

  • SOS is nice and loud, but may not be able to hear in an emergency with commotion going on by neighbors very easily
  • Switch on bottom enables loud SOS or phone charging via USB outlet
  • Sound of radio very good, and the sos alarm very loud to alert hopeful help/rescue
  • And I like the sos feature as well, overall a great little emergency radio.
  • Its a slide switch which is tough to determine what position its actually in (except the annoying sos mode, that 1 is obviously easy to figure out).
