NOAA Weather Radio FM AM Shortwave, Emergency Radio 5000mAh Solar Crank

When the weather outside is frightful and the storm is so frightful, you need a reliable way to keep up with the latest updates. Enter the Auto NOAA Digital 5000 Weather Radio, your all-in-one survival buddy that brings a wealth of features in one portable package. From its solar-powered capabilities to its SOS function, this radio has your back when nature decides to throw a tantrum. Whether you’re camping, prepping for a storm, or just want some extra peace of mind, this radio is your trusty sidekick. PROS: • Multiple power options: It’s like the Swiss army knife of radios, solar power, hand crank, USB charging, and AC. Whatever disaster strikes, you’ll stay powered up. • SOS feature: If things really go sideways, the SOS alarm will let everyone know you need help. It’s the ultimate “Hey, I’m here!” button. • Built-in phone charger: If your phone is running low on battery and you’re not near an outlet, no worries, this radio doubles as a phone charger. • Emergency light & flashlight: The built-in flashlight is perfect for when you need to light up your path, while the reading lamp keeps your evening cozy (without the need for candles). • Clear audio & versatility: AM/FM, shortwave, NOAA, it’s got it all, so you can stay in the know, no matter what you’re into. CONS: • Hand crank might take a bit of effort: While the hand crank works great, if you’re trying to get a full charge, you might be working up a bit of a sweat. Good news, though, you’ll be too busy surviving to care. • Not the most compact: While portable, it’s not exactly something you can throw in your pocket. It’s better for your backpack or emergency kit. • Volume level can be a bit quiet: The speaker works fine, but if you’re in a noisy environment, you might have to crank it up a little more than you’d expect. • Limited radio range: While it can pick up a variety of stations, the shortwave reception might not be perfect depending on your location. Overall, the Auto NOAA Digital 5000 Weather Radio is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to stay prepared. Whether it’s a storm, power outage, or a random camping trip, you’ll have everything you need in one device. Plus, it’s practically a lifeline during an emergency, just add some snacks and you’re ready to weather the storm.

Awesome weather radio for home or camping with quality, functional flashlight and reading light. Radio works flawlessly. I consider this to be a quality purchase.

I really like that this is a very small size radio you can easily throw in a 'to go' bag or keep in the kitchen cupboard for an emergency .The solar charging feature seems to work fine and it’s nice that it comes with those rechargeable lithium batteries. Out of the box it was already 100% charged for me . I’ve tried the hand crank. Seems like you have to crank it quite a bit to actually get a full charge. I have not done that yet personally for a full charge, but it works. The digital tuner is my favorite part because it is so hard to find stations sometimes on the old analog tuners, unless it’s extremely precise which, for this price unit , would be asking a lot. The digital tuner simply makes it easier to find stations and they come in clear on the NOAA. I have to say, I forgot the radio was on standby when late at night, an emergency weather forecast came on- as we were having storms and it scared the 'beJesus' out of me coming from the Living Room with the weather alert forecast blaringly loud, the light was blinking red as well for the emergency weather forecast so in inadvertently, I tested this feature and it does indeed work! Not much else to add you can see the features in the product description- other than I’m happy for the price of this radio and functionality am I going to sit there and listen to this radio to hear the great music sound? The answer is 'no' however, that is not what I’m buying it for. I think it will be fine for a.m. e.g. if you want to listen to a ball game or something

Works great, bought for emergency kit

This little gem appealed to me right out of the box. It was easy to set up. Quality seems good for such a little radio. Time will tell when Florida gets outage from storm or emergency.. NOAA comes in good for our area.. Like having so many options to charge.

The reception is wonderful, The lights are super bright. I love that there are three ways to charge it. I'm going to buy more - one for each floor of my house and one for the car.

Wasn't there for me when needed. Stay away. I bought this radio last October in anticipation of winter power outages in Vermont. I charged it up fully and tested it for a few days. Everything worked well. I set it aside on a windowsill with the small solar panel facing south in order to keep the battery charged. When a recent power outage happened, I had to push the "power" button at least 20 times to turn it on. Then struggled to get the local radio station. Finally, I could not turn the thing off, regardless of how many times I pushed the power button. My finger was numb by the time I was able to shut this radio off. I then tried to start it and experienced the same problem. I am no longer counting on this thing to be there for me in an emergency. You best look elsewhere. Important Update: After posting my initial negative review I emailed the company's customer service department. Surprise! I heard back a day later with suggestions about how to reset the radio's inner system. In addition, they offered either to replace the radio at no cost to me, or refund the purchase price. Amazing!!! So, I followed the simple step to reset the radio, and I have tested it repeatedly each day for several days. Everything works as advertised. For the price, this radio is a good deal. For the customer service, it is a great deal. 5 stars.

This radio does a lot of very useful things, but not the one thing I bought it for - shortwave radio. I was shocked to see a single band covering from 7 to 19 mHz - pretty much the entire shortwave frequency range - and the tiny knob only takes 3/4 of a turn to tune across the entire band. Needless to say, it's impossible to settle it on a single radio station. That turns out not to be a problem, though, since in three days of trying I was unable to pick up even the hint of a signal on the shortwave band. I love the power flexibility, the ability to charge other devices, the lighting options, even the crank for dire emergencies. Unfortunately I will not be keeping this long enough to find out. It even sounds good when I tune in FM stations. But I bought this as a shortwave radio, and it is absolutely not one. The band is purely there for decoration, or to check a box. Returning.

Mycket bra

Following the fires, in Australia, I wasn't going to get caught out without a radio of phone changer. This product meets the bill. While the quality of reception is not premium it is still usable. It will be one of those handy devices that I have in the cupboard.
