Can't pick up stations
It has wonderful features, but I was unable to pick up my two local NPR stations! We tried and tried, and though we are not more than five miles from one of our local stations, there was absolutely no reception. Perhaps it was just a lemon, because I haven't read this criticism anywhere else. I may try another one, because other than that I thought it was great.

Good buy
After the hurricane hit Houston this was a necessity for my family for over a week! Worked just as it was suppose to.
Does almost everything
We started playing with this right away, even though it is really for our emergency kit. It is heavy duty and holds a charge real well. We could listen to TV or the radio. It has a goofy port for "charging your cell phone" that we can't figure out. Our cell phones don't hook up to that, and there are no directions. At all. You just open this and play with it. No directions at all. But we got one for each of our grown children too.
Just Right for the Price
I originally bought a "Jeep" all weather radio for my husband for Christmas - I thought paying more might mean a better product; not so, the hand crank broke on 2nd use. I then ordered this one - my hubby loves it. It contains everything we would want for an emergency radio; we have no problems picking up any of the t.v., National or local stations. The light is sufficient for an emergency and the Alert would definitely get you out of bed. The only issue we have seen is that we had it on one night and the alarm went off for no apparant reason...If not for that I would have given it 5 stars. I think this is a must for any household that lives in a storm prone area (which seems to be just about anywhere now a days): I definitely feel comfortable ... Read More
Emergency Radio
Received this emergency radio several weeks ago, and I have used it several time since then (thank the Lord not in an emergency situation though!). It worked great out of the box. Did everything that was promised it would do. The only draw back is that I still have not received the cell phone adapters that I sent for when I received the radio. I guess it takes the company awhile to get them into the mail to me? Otherwise, a great emergency radio!
