We ordered two different lights with radios, but the second one we ordered was like a toy, so we ordered another Red Cross light. We tried our first Red Cross light & radio & it worked well.

Although it is smaller than I expected, this radio/light/charger seems like the perfect Christmas gift for my nephew, who likes to camp.

The product showed up on time, was in great shape, and it appears to do everything that I thought it would do(except for the fact that you have to order special adaptors for your cell phones "ladies and gents"...and since I live in FL, I didn't even have time to order it, before we were out running for water, batteries, dry food and tape!! The radio does work with solar power, so we will see what happens the next "hurricane scare". My husband bought batteries for another radio, as he said that it looked too small to do any good. Sorry...

I bought one of these for every household on my Christmas list. I haven't tried them yet to make sure they work, but they're recommended by the American Red Cross, so.... They're smaller than I thought they would be, but will fit nicely in a pack with other emergency supplies.

The antenna broke off the first day my son had it. Not the best radio for the price, that's for sure. Now it is useless.
