Emergency Radio: 5000 Digital Weather Radio with AM/FM/NOAA/SW and SOS Survival Features, Portable Design

Amazon Customer: I liked that it can be powered many different ways. It works well enough. It is small and a good color.

Paige M.: I use in power outages. Make sure to keep charges by usb. Also put in window to help keep solar charged. And I keep reg. Batteries on hand. A prolonged outage requires many sources of power. I have power banks that I have used when charge runs low, but having solar and crank are great. But most of all having regular battery use makes it a perfect emergency radio. There is am/fm that gets decent reception, not throwing a party with it. Gets weather bands. Decent antenna. Has a weather alert system, also an emergency alert separate. It is digital which my son loves. The flashlight is bright, and the flip up light is very bright. In the dark it is like a lamp, point up to ceiling and the room is lit. I now have two, get it now they seem to be going to a bigger rechargeable radio minus the reg. Batteries, not smart for a long outage or trip.

stephen gibbs: emergency receivers like this tend to sit unused for a long time. Those with mechanical volume controls and tuners tend to corrode and then fail without much actual use. this product uses electronic controls that are not subject to failure in this way. Having the option of multiple power sources is a plus here, as well. I like this product a lot.

John B.: Very easy to use radio with 4 bands for weather, sports, music or news. Five ways to keep the Li battery charged even if you don't have a charger or spare batteries! Less than $40 (including shipping), compact and offers bright LED flashlight, emergency siren and headphone jack for private use. Great product and great price!

sipy: I really like this unit's feature combination. Excellent front panel readability w/optional backlighting, a very bright and dual-setting flashlight, very bright and dual-setting reading light, "SOS" noisemaker, phone-charger port, AM/FM/SW/weather radio plus weather-alert, and especially its ability to run off of 3xAAA batteries or its internal, hand-cranked-rechargeable battery. It has a carrying strap, carabiner and includes the USB cable to charge it. This selection of options seems to be a PERFECT choice for an emergency-use radio/device. The "regular" (non-discounted) price is about $4 higher than similar devices, but I feel the extra is worth it to offer the AAA dry-cell battery option, LCD panel and the "SOS sound" button. (I bought mine during a $4 discount campaign, so = WIN!) The speaker is strong, with no distortion at max volume. The solar panel on top is NEVER going to charge the battery from zero, but they say so in the product insert - - it's intended to "keep the battery topped off" (lol). (Don't expect it to charge in the sun.) They say the hand-crank will need between 8 and 15 minutes to charge a phone from dead to usable, which I think is entirely fair. I spent...
