Duronic AM/FM Radio APEX | Charge 3 Ways: Solar, Wind Up, USB | Dynamo Crank Rechargeable | Headphone Jack | Portable | Alarm Clock | Torch | Back-lit Digital Display | Emergency Use, Camping, Hiking

After thorough review several radios I selected this and daily carrying during morning walking hearing music. The sound clarity is sharp. The LED light is super bright. The battery power remains for a week with outdoor solar charging alone. I find no frequency for hand cranking and USB charging. Above all what I specialize is the design! It is flat on both sides. No troubling projections. Both tuning and volume knobs are erected in hallow portion of the body which will get no physical damage. Control buttons are arranged on the top in body level. The alarm is capable of waking deep sleep persons. Tried my best to charge iPhone 4s and Samsung by hand crank. Charging icons function but percentage of battery level did not increase for myself. Many more aspects positive. I highly recommend this to all beyond doubt and hesitation.

The Duronic Apex digital AM FM rechargeable radio is a uniquely styled portable. A host of features that you may enjoy having on a camping trip or an extended off the grid cabin stay.Search the radio and my name on YouTube for an in depth video presentation.Features that I like about this radio:* Analog tuner with a digital frequency counter. Refreshing!* FM reception is decent.* Triple LED flashlight that is bright enough for most cases.* Clock.* Alarm feature.* Back light for the LCD.* Headphone jack quality is good.* Simple controls.* Unique style.* Soft touch plastics, the silicone type.* Standard size, replaceable NiMH battery.* Dynamo.* Solar panel.* Included USB cables to charge internal battery and external devices.* Dual speaker design that gives the radio a spacious sound at low levels.Features that could be added or improved on:* Larger battery, an 18650 would be nice.* Optional Dry Battery bay in case of rechargeable battery failure.* Address internal buzzing sound on the AM band. (Noticeable during the daytime hours)* Alarm needs some type of volume adjustment, it's too loud.Overall, a fun analog radio with an accurate digital frequency counter. The FM band is nice, and the AM band shines at night, picking up stations 800+ miles away. A unique and refreshing radio in a sea of rechargeable receivers that are flooding the marketplace. I enjoy tuning this one, and it's smaller brother the Hybrid.

I bought it several months ago to prepare me for the hurricane season. When hurricane Matthew started to churn up the eastern seaboard, I felt that I was prepared. It worked out well and lived up to all of its promises. I had no problems with it at all. I highly recommend it either as an emergency radio device or as something to take with you on vacation.

This radio was working when I took it out of the box I was impressed then and I'm still impressed with it now very nice product ....

Bought for BoB and in Fl for power outage if needed. I can see other uses such as camping or beach perhaps but that wasnt my purpose.Cranked it and it did its job. If ever comes the days I'd need it -days I hope don't come- I think I'll be glad I had this on hand. Time will tell but for this price it's good insurance to me.

Works wonderfully. Great sound. Charges fast

I give it only three stars for the simple reason it says 'no batteries ever needed.' But that is not quite the case since in order to power this up, you use a hand crank to generate power that is stored in an internal battery. I searched product info but there were no tips as to how best to preserve or maintain the life of this internal battery. E.G. leave it plugged in with the wall charger all the time? Completely discharge the battery during each use prior to re-charging? Etc. That information would be really helpful. Also, sometimes hard to get a clear radio signal, not sure if that has to do with interference in the city. Otherwise, this is a good product.

It's a great radio I don't know what more I can say other than the reception on it is good I am blind so I don't know how the alarm clock works butt the reception on his great thank you I don't know what more I can say on this review
