10000mAh NOAA Emergency Weather Alert Radio, LCD Digital AM/FM/SW Solar Hand Crank Radio, 360° Rotatable Reading Lamp, Dual Speakers, Headphone Jack, SOS, USB Phone Charger (IR688 Gray)

The media could not be loaded. I really like this NOAA Radio! I have a few other radios from IRONSNOW and while they have all worked well, this is the first one available from them to have an LCD screen from my understanding. I like the LCD a lot because I am not guessing which frequency I am on, and it includes some additional features the other radios do not have..First off, the orange color for me is nice - its easy to see, and would serve well in the woods or camping so I don't lose the darn thing. The radio has several redundancies to be able to power it. Primarily, it has an internal lithium ion battery that can be charged via wall charger (USB to type C cord is included), hand cranking, or the solar panel at the top of the radio.Alternatively, you can insert AAA batteries into the back of the radio and power it off of those. There is a dial on the front to switch between AAA and LI.Secondly, the radio has great use as a flashlight and reading lamp. The solar panel at the top can fold out giving a bright LED light underneath - and this can be twisted depending on the angle the user wants to point light at. At the front (left end) there is a flashlight with three modes - spotlight, flood light, and the two combined. Not the brightest light in the world but it would be way better than nothing in the dark.The radio itself has stereo speakers and what I really like about it is you can pre-set frequencies by holding the scan button. I believe the FM dial has 30 pre programed slots, AM is fewer. You also have the option to tune the radio manually using the tune button.On the bottom of the radio there is an SOS beacon, which is pretty loud and annoying but that's what you would want to be seen by rescuers - when this is activated the flashlight will also strobe a distress signal.Overall I think this is a great camping radio and has multiple functions. The included handle is velcro with a nice rubber grip and can be removed if needed, but I would probably use it to hang the radio in my tent at some anchor point. I am impressed with this and can't wait to take it up on my next adventure!

Great radio, so glad I got 2 of them. Thanks so much

Nice compact size, love the solar feature

The radio arrived a day after ordering in a nicely packed box. The instructions were mostly understandable, though there were a lot of spelling and grammatical errors. I was surprised to see a tiny red LED illuminating through a tiny hole above the radio POWER button. Apparently this LED can't be turned off and is always on, which means there's a continuous drain on the internal LiON battery.The radio volume control seems go from silent (volume setting 0) to loud (volume setting 1) to really loud (all other volume settings).Radio tuning is done through digital scanning. There are up/down buttons for frequency adjustment, but trying to find stations using the short wave requires a lot of patience as the radio scans up through the spectrum. I never did actually find any SW stations using the radio in the Seattle area.The Scan button can be used to find all the stations and load them into presets. Subsequently pressing the Scan button momentarily goes from preset to preset.AM radio (one of the main reasons I purchased this unit since my car doesn't have an AM radio) seems to work reasonably well, though sensitivity is pretty poor.The FM radio audio quality is actually pretty decent. It rivals some of the digital assistants from Amazon.The NOAA radio seems to be equivalent in sensitivity and audio quality to my marine VHF two-way radio costing many times the price of this radio.The front flashlight has three modes: concentrated beam (with fainter disc surrounding the beam), flood, and beam with flood. I would rate the flashlight as roughly being in the 100 to 150 lumen range, so it will do for basic use in a camping or emergency situation. It's nowhere near as bright as my bicycle headlight (850 lumen), but it could work in a pinch as a bicycle headlight.The solar panel/reading light on top of the radio turns on the moment it is lifted from the case. It can be twisted to the front or back side for convenience. The amount of light generated seems to be close to the amount of light the front facing flood setting provides.The end panel has a flimsy rubber flap covering the USB-C input power port, USB-A output power port, and the headphone jack. The flap is easily dislodged, and should not be considered as anything more than a slight protection against dust and dirt.The radio antenna is hidden inside the radio and can be pulled out and adjusted to suit signal tuning needs.The handle is secured with two velcro panels to make it easier for removal to use and orient the reading light and so as to not obscure the solar panel.The hand crank lever seems to be a bit longer than necessary, and is easy to turn. There is no seal on the AAA battery panel.On the bottom is an SOS/alarm button. Holding the button for a second or two causes the radio to emit a very loud siren. Pressing it again stops it.When the radio is off and charging, the LCD panel shows the battery icon, cycling from no to full charge. There is no progress bar. You have to guess when the battery is fully charged. The rate of charge is rather slow at 1.0 A. This is also the rate of charging a cell phone from the radio.When the radio is on, the battery icon shows the charge level just like on a cell phone.Pressing the POWER button for half a second turns the radio on, with a light illuminating the LCD for about 3 seconds. When the radio is on, then pressing it momentarily turns the LCD light on for another 3 seconds.Pressing the button longer turns the radio off.Why 4 stars instead of 5?1. The AM radio sensitivity is poor2. The Volume control doesn't provide a low setting. It's loud at the quietest setting and loud enough to be a ghetto blaster at all the other settings.3. The rubber flap needs to be secured better.4. Flashlight could be brighter, or provide more settings for preserving battery life if you want or lighting up the world if you don't mind the shorter life.5. A switch for the reading light would allow the solar panel to be optimally oriented without the reading light turning on.6. The red LED is drawing power all. the. time. Ok, so it's probably not a whole lot of power but it's greater than zero.Regardless, I'm going to keep this in my car so when I'm out of cellular network range I might still have a chance at AM or NOAA radio reception. I'll also be able to hear the traffic notifications being broadcast on AM radio when driving down the highway.

I live in an area with constant power outages. This radio has come in clutch several times already. From kids dance parties to providing light to charging our devices this gets used several times a week. I sit it outside to charge and bring it in at night or when needed.

In less than one year the radio function stopped working. New batteries, flashlight works, radio is nonfunctional.The item is still under warranty. Have written to the seller for warranty service and have yet to receive response. Buyer beware.

This radio has all the features you need while being well designed and built. Note: One of the three video reviews says it has a "thousand" ma battery, when in fact it is a Ten Thousand ma battery system. Over 20 radio stations can be stored in memory and the digital readout is more efficient than trying to lock in on a station with an analog dial.

This emergency radio looked excellent, but when I received it, there are lots of flaws. AM reception is poor, FM reception is fair ( filter too wide for both AM and FM ) I was able to get a few SW stations, but it's really not a sensitive radio. For emergency use, in case of loss of power, I found the lack of a clock was a deal breaker. If you bought the emergency kit for the flashlight, reading light, or BT feature, then this is a good product. I thought it was generally lacking in the radio department, so I returned it. It should be priced in the 25 dollar range, not 40. I would not recommend this product.
