WeatherX WR182R Instant NOAA Weatherband Radio with AM/FM Radio and LED Flashlight

Linda Levine: Very scratchy sound but for hurricane warnings it’s very effective and the price is right. They only downside is it none of the things that you would connect to like your iPhone have the right size cord to fit in the iPhone. I thought it would charge my phone, but it doesn’t.

edxuramex: Realmente lo pedi porque me gusto el precio pero sin duda se ve bien, es de plástico y sencillo pero creo que cumple con su funcion, les recomiendo que lo guarden en una funda rigida o algo asi para alargar su vida, Radio sintoniza bien, lampara prende decentemente no es de 100lumens, funciona con bateria interna y aparte 3AA Tengo Iphone 8 y funciono la recarga, no lo deje mucho tiempo pero sirvio

james: I opened the package follow the instructions out in fresh batteries. Having 9 FM local radio stations and 2 am radio stations I assumed it would be easy to get a radio signal. Nope barley got the one that's less than a mile from my house. The crank is for show I gave 7 good cranks and the flashlight barely flickered. Maybe I got a bad one but I will be returning this and I will go get a brand I know. The sound was sufficient for a small room or tent but other than that it's static, unattainable radio stations and crank is for show not practical use.

Amazon Customer: For the price, this is a handy little gadget. I have only tested it in an apartment building, but I am able to get all 3 bands of radio clearly. Bought for its ability to deliver news and weather reports without depending on any power source. The flashlight is a bonus and produces a usable amount of light for short range. I like that the dynamo has a light to indicate whether you are generating power. In a real pinch it can be used as a powerplant to charge usb devices. Comes with some handy dandy charging adaptors. For the money you can not go wrong. Sounds like a clock radio but this is a budget survival radio. We can live without bass in emergencies.

Gerardo Skoglund: Lo usare para emergencias, cuando no cuente con energia electrica, ya lo probe y girando el asa un buen rato si genera la suficiente energia para encender la linterna y el radio, que es lo que yo buscaba. Ademas sirve para recargar el celular

godwin: I dislike that am still not able to find a way out for charging this device,at the moment I charge through the phone charger 5v during this process it produces a kind of smell like burnt wire but still charges.Less I forget the part of AA batteries doesn't work reason I don't know.Sound quality very good, durability very good,value for money not satisfy.

PatosaurioPatosaurio: Excelente radio de emergencia, calidad en los materiales (no es muy resistente pero se siente más sólido que otros radios chinos parecidos), tamaño compacto (excelente para una mochila de emergencia), el volumen es bastante aceptable para el tamaño tan compacto al igual que la recepción AM y FM, la luz de la linterna es decente y cumple su cometido sin sorprender. Funciona perfecto con la batería de respaldo, a diferencia de otros radios que no retienen carga y necesitan que se gire la manivela constantemente, este funciona de maravilla por varios minutos. La función de carga para el teléfono celular es lenta, diría que más que carga, sirve para mantener la batería "viva" en caso de una llamada de emergencia. Mi única queja es que no tiene algún orificio o aditamento para alguna cinta o cordón, y poder colgarlo o cargarlo de manera segura en la mano.

David Schaedler : This Weather NOAA radio receiver was inexpensive and came on time, in good condition. It has a dial for "tuning", "volume" with it's power on. There is a slide switch on the same side for the 3 LED flashlight, and a switch on the top marked "'WB", "AM, "FM". On the other side is the crank, retractable antenna, and a selection switch for "rechargeable battery" or user installed "AA batteries". This side also has a removable panel to install those batteries. Additionally, there is a crank charging indicator LED marked "dynamo". The reception isn't the greatest, probably because of my living space. I can go outside or near a window to get better reception. The radio can be turned to get best reception. The antenna is movable in 180 degrees also for better reception. The crank must be turned at 2 revolutions a second (count 1 thousand and one, 1 thousand and 2 for each 2 seconds) for proper charging. It is made of sturdy red and black plastic. I wish the flashlight would have more LEDS, but it works for me in my home and considering it runs off of rechargeable batteries. I believe it would last on a charge well, I've charged it once a month and tested it. I would...

Tim H: I thought I'd already done this one ... oh well. Works as advertised, no problem getting the local weather station and the FM is really pretty good. The handcrank works well as does just putting three AA batteries in it. The flashlight is impressive so what more can I say?
I've really no interest in using it to charge cell phones, suppose if we were without power for an expended time that might change?
I actually like it as perfect for the purpose I bought it for. Tim H
