KaitoVoyager ECO Emergency Radio KA336 AM/FM NOAA Weather Alert 5-Way Powered Solar Crank Radio Receiver with LED Flashlight and USB Mobile Phone Charger Yellow

The media could not be loaded. I'm actually really happy to have this in since there are fires and power outages right now. Just last night, I had a power outage.So far, the LED is very bright. The radio aspect of it works fine. I think the mix of reviews is just due to geography. The sound quality overall is great and it's easy to finds radio stations for me at least.In regards to build quality, it's solid. If you have ape strength though, be more careful with the hand crank and the antenna. I know people who are rough with everything and get frustrated and blame whatever they broke for breaking lol.I love the design too. It's minimalistic and the color scheme is like a bumble bee. Not some ugly yellow, but a yellow that compliments the black.Aside from the radio, lights, and hand crank, I have some other features to test out. Those were just what I thought were the most important so far. I'll edit later.

This is a good little radio. It works well and can charge itself all day without turning off.Something strange I notice with it though: when I put batteries in it and they go dead I switch the radio to internal battery and it makes the audio go off every few minutes for a minute or two then the audio comes back on. The only way to be able to make it not do that is to take the batteries out and have it only using the internal battery. Weird.I use this everyday at work and aside from using my own batteries and that glitch it works super well for me!

Very lightweight and has good sound. I tried it with the hand crank only, no batteries, and it held the charge and played the radio without issue. Controls are easy to access and it's small enough to store for emergencies.

This little radio has surprised me. I wasn't expecting much for a $20 radio but I am very pleased. It's reception is great on all bands. It has multiple charging options as well as two battery options (internal battery or battery compartment). The weather alert feature has successfully notified me of several severe storms which is very helpful living here in "Tornado Alley." Are there higher quality emergency radios out there?....of course but probably not at this price. I will definitely be buying more of this model for family and friends. Well worth a mere $20!!!

Unbelievable value if yours works as well as mine. Got my grandson one. He is a radio guy now at 10

A very inexpensive emergency radio so I didn't really expect much but terrible internal assembly quality. Poor soldering. USB charge port was intermittent so I opened the radio and discovered the USB charge connector was poorly soldered. Also found several other components needing reflow including the volume pot (control) which caused intermittent sound when the unit received light taps on its enclosure. Just setting it down caused disrupted sound. FM reception quality is fair. AM reception seems okay but sound suffers from a "digital" background noise when listening at lower volume levels. Weather reception is good. No earphone jack but I will add one if I keep the radio. I was going to purchase several of these for the family but decided to buy one and see if it was any good. I would not recommend unless you are an electronics technician with troubleshooting and soldering skills.

The charge doesn't last long, though the crank works. Maybe it was designed with the assumption that people would just put batteries in it, and not use the USB charger. Also it doesn't pull in a very strong signal, probably because the antenna is so short. I can hear its siren going off loud and clear, but then I'm lucky to hear the specifics from the weather service. The radio works, too, if you want to use it for music.

Love all the different ways I can charge the radio. It does charge my phone. Very compact as well. Great for SHTF situation.
