Wanted a light, packable radio for hiking over multiple nights (mostly for weather)...clear sound, solar charge works well, tuner not overly sensitive, hand crank not to flimsy either. As advertised.

Smaller than I expected. You can fill out a form and provide them with your cell phone model and they'll mail you the correct charger adapter. I haven't had to wind it once, the solar panel doesn't need direct sunlight, in the shade it works great! $30 is a steal!

This little radio is smaller and handier than I thought.
It is powerful, and yet easy to take along.
A bargain at this price.
I am so glad I ordered it...

I listen to a lot of AM radio and weather radio, because at this stage of my life with limited mobility, I looked at it because of it's size and all the features it has and all the 5 star ratings and decided to purchase. I am on my THIRD radio!, ever have a AM radio that drifts away from the station you set it on?, well I have one now. I won't send this one back because I get back one that is just as bad or worse! I will be fair to Eton, the FM, weather band and flashlight all work, but, I have my fingers crossed! Eton, I will NEVER purchase any of your products ever again! I wish I had never wasted my money on this "semi" junk!

Living in north Texas with the unexpected storms popping up all the time it was necessary for me to purchase this little radio due to the fact we lose our electricity during these storms. Sometimes it takes up to 4-6 hours before it comes back on. I think all households should have one of these radios which possesses capabilities of reaching stations over 100 miles away. jb
