We live in Ventura and with the recent fires we are going through this came in extremely hands when we lost power

Have tested the solar power and it worked.

When a strong tropical storm passed through we lost power for a while

As a survivor of Hurricane Irma in SW Florida, I fortunately never lost power or communication

It can receive FM and AM radio signals, NOAA weather alerts, has a flashlight, reading light, and an emergency power bank to charge your phone

It was very useful during winter storm Benji Dec 2017 when we received 13" of snow and lost power for 42 hours

you can charge it with your electrical power with usb included, batteries or hand crank and solar powered as well..

The power (on/off) knob is faulty and doesn't "connect" reliably and will likely stop working all together anytime now.

Lost power for several days.

We get some pretty bad storms and power has been out for extended periods after a severe storm.

Siren is very load, lights are bright and held a great charge when we lost power for 12+ hrs

I have enough flashlights and charging power for my cellphone but this cheaply made antennae which feels like it will come off at any minute feels like something out of 1972

Eugene OR just had an ice storm and we lost power for a week in 20 degree weather

Like the radio over all with all the different power options and charging capabilities

When building out our survival kit we were looking for a radio that would fit a few criteria: It had to be portable, solar powered, charge a phone, and have NOAA stations.

A must have for camping, power outages and yes, natural disasters.

Hum right batteries, right speakers, solar powered - sweet, manual hand crank - super sweet

Hum right batteries, right speakers, solar powered - sweet, manual hand crank - super sweet

This was a complete life saver when we lost power during Irma and the ability to charge via solar when we lost power and the ability to have another flashlight was amazing

With a few cranks of the handle provides enough power to operate LED flashlight, LED reading lamp and Weather Band radio, simultaneously

We purchased this item in anticipation of going camping in the north Georgia mountains and for the summer 2017 hurricane season as our home area loses power quite often during storms

Came in really handy when we got an unexpected foot of snow in 24-hours and lost power

It came in handy last weekend when we lost power during a snow storm

The switch on the bottom of the unit also switches itself around sometimes and might be draining power or suddenly blasting the siren

We wanted something to get news and weather in case we lose power, which happens from time to time here in the Northwest

Due to a recent power outage, we also have used the flashlight and handcrank to power it and it worked very well

the best power bank for the price on here....

Power went out, busted out my new purchase and decided to try and charge my phone

We had our first snow last week and I lost power for 8 hours

One for our daughter who lives in the country and always loses power, one for our basement disaster box and one for the tackle box

The flashlight would not be my primary source of light for hiking or illuminating large areas, but it would provide some light if nothing else is available (or powered up)I have used the charger for charging my phone and a headlamp.

I bought it for using when I lose power during/after storm

Sure enough, no power and no radio

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