Rocam Emergency Hand Crank & Solar Powered Portable Weather Radio

Charli: This is a great little radio for emergency purposes. The lights are bright, it has solar charging and a hand crank so good for power outages. The only negative aspect is the terrible sound quality if you want to listen to the radio.

Catherine L. Poss: Well, we had the radio for six weeks, its tuning knob became dysfunctional. The manufacturer is sending me a new radio. I call this great customer service!

J: If you’re looking for a high end emergency radio, then spend the money! But for the price it’s ok! The am/fm comes in like it would in your car! The weather channel service portion of the this radio is ok but low sound and full of static! The shortwave is mostly useless, the church channels and some other channels from other states and countries come in the best! You’ll get a lot of the Spanish speaking channels on the shortwave coming ok (if you speak Spanish?) But overall it’s ok!

ALAL: New York Time's reputable review website, Wirecutter.com, ranks the Midland ER310 as their top pick (https://nyti.ms/3ei07TX):

"The Midland ER310 is the best emergency weather radio because it offers better reception, a brighter flashlight, and more-effective charging options than the other models we tested, including the ability to charge from dead through solar power or hand-cranking. More important, it can receive NOAA extreme-weather alerts, providing notifications that are both loud and readily visible so you won’t miss any warnings. The ER310’s convenient size makes it comfortable to carry, so it’s easier to grab on the go in the case of an imminent storm. It was also one of the few radios we tested that lived up to their crank-generating claims: We found that just one minute of cranking produced 10 minutes of radio time or a few minutes of flashlight use. Plus, its durable body can stand up to rainy weather or a drop onto a hard surface."

The Rocam CR1009 Pro does all this plus more but with some caveats—more on this later.

What the Rocam does more is that the solar panel can flip 90 degrees to reveal a bright table lamp....

Customer: UKW Empfang ist sehr gut, Wetterdaten kann man nicht empfangen.der Rest ist wie im Netz beschrieben gut. Nur der Zeiger für die Skala ist bei meinem Gerät schief, stört mich aber nicht.

FLIPPERmumof2dogs: Very easily wound .. the internal rechargeable batteries get powered by turning the handle and we really pleasantly surprised at how long lasting this power lasts whe listening to the radio...for really very little effort. I thought I'd be turning it for hrs but it's really just so easy to use. The small solar panel on this is great. Fantasti for charging our phones and if we ever need them the lamps sos alarm and compass should keep us safe. I wanted one of these wins up survivalist type radios for ages so to finally get one and be more impressed tha I hoped is a bonus. Life. This.

Tells it like it is..: I purchased this nifty radio not for camping purposes as others wrote about, but for an added device to have in case of adverse environmental impacts such as from looming climate change consequences or possibly from increasing political unrest conflicts both from other countries and internally or just at being stranded somewhere.

The first things I noticed about this radio were its color and small size. It’s green shade of color perfectly matched the portable generator I also owned and the metal storage case for selected tools to use in certain emergency situations. So, the radio fits right in with the color scheme of my emergency equipped devices! Also, the radio was significantly smaller than what I expected. This lent itself to not just sitting fixed in one place but being very portable and light weight enough to easily move around as needed.

Just as you would normally have a fire extinguisher around just in case, so too having this emergency radio is a “no brainer”. I understand in an emergency, radio stations will keep broadcasting due to their generators and battery backup providing needed information, continual updates and advice to get through the...
