The weather radio is ok for a small light weight radio, but the instructions are incorrect and confusing. The instructions state that you can leave nickle rechargeable batteries in the radio and IMPLIES THAT YOU CAN recharge by leaving it plugged in. That is not correct, you need a rechargeable station. THIS WILL NOT RECHARGE BATTERIES. The instructions need to be corrected since they are very confusing to someone not trained in electronics. It should be stated that if one does not use rechargeable batteries, only use REGULAR D batteries and take them out if not using battery since chemicals leak out after batteries get old. When power is available use power, when not use batteries but remove when power comes back or radio may be damaged by leaky batteries.
During hurricane a total asset Many time though out the hurricane season I’m left with communication and electricity so having this radio keeps me informed to emergency services and weather conditions
Bought radio two weeks ago have had bad weather was good to have the weather radio kept up to date on all updates came in clear understandable enjoy having the mobile radio in case of another emergency.
We bought the portable radio as a gift for my husband's 91 year old step mother for Mother's Day and she loved that it was easy to operate and didn't take up a lot of space in her small living space.
Just bought this radio for our vacation home in the Poconos. We have frequent power outages. The sound is amazing, crystal clear & great volume. Also brings in the local weather station easily. We’re ready for anything now. Great product for a great price.
