FosPower Emergency Weather Radio (Model A1) NOAA/AM/FM with 7400mWh Portable Power Bank, USB/Solar/Hand Crank Charging, Battery Operated, SOS Alarm & Flashlight for Indoor/Outdoor Emergencies

This product works well for its intended purposes. The extendable antenna picks up signals effectively, and the speaker delivers clear sound. The SOS function can be a bit annoying, but as long as you keep the switch on power, it won’t be an issue.The reading light and flashlight are both bright, making it easy to quickly locate things I've dropped in the dark.While I’m not sure how to test the power generated by cranking, I’ve found it to be a fun little fidget while watching movies or TV. The handle is sturdy and well-protected when not in use, and it turns smoothly with a light motor hum, which I personally find relaxing (though your experience may differ).It’s not "heavy," but it does feel substantial. Lighter than my phone, the plastic is well-molded with no visible seams. The rechargeable battery charges my phone at a decent rate, making it a reliable option when needed.

Works for its intended purposes. The extendable antenna is good at picking up signals and the speaker is clear. The sos function is a bit obnoxious but as long as you keep the switch to power you'll be fine.The reading light and flash lights are bright. Very useful in the dark to quickly locate something I've dropped.I don't know how one would begin to test the power generated by the cranking, but I found its a fun fidget when I watch movies/TV. Its has a sturdy inded to protect the handle when not in use. It is smooth turning, and has a light motor sound I find relaxing [like the hum of a car] but your mileage may vary there.Its not 'heavy' but it is substantial. Its lighter than my phone but the plastic is well molded with no unseamly seams. The rechargeable battery has a decent charge rate for my phone.

First impressions. Everything works. It is solid and heavier than I would expect for a small, inexpensive radio. There is no play in the tuning knob, and it has the right amount of resistance, not too tight nor too loose. The sound from the speaker is what you would expect with a small, inexpensive radio, but the weather band is loud and clear. The FM reception seems ok. From experience having traveled with many small, inexpensive radios as well as small fairly expensive radios over the years, I expect this one to be durable.The one negative, perhaps, is AM reception doesn't seem that good. It is there, just doesn't compare favorably to other little radios that I have. Of course, this may or may not be a relevant issue for most people nowadays, and observations will probably vary. But as I say, the weather band is strong, and the FM is acceptable, in my opinion, for a backup emergency radio.

Bought this after getting into emergency prep, and I like it. It’s good for what I want.Pros:- Lightweight- Both lights are very bright- Radio is loud and reasonable clearCons:- Hard to crank, especially as fast and as long as is needed for power- Not the best charger. It charged my phone from 17% to 83% in just over two hours before running out of juice. Would work for an emergency phone call, but not as a long term charging source in a power outage.Would recommend for emergency prep, especially if you’re looking for something portable.Would not recommend for camping trips (at least not as a power source, the radio seems to do pretty well on one full charge).

I bought this for my go-bag. This product works great, looks great, and sounds great. I love the idea of being able to charge my phone even if there isn’t electricity nearby. This radio is solar powered and has crank power as well, in case it’s nighttime. Volume is much better than I expected. Overall value for the money is here. I’d recommend to anyone.

I ws surprised. The FosPower Emergency Weather Radio I bought was a returmed, 'like new', discount. The cardboard box had a crumpled corner, the radio was as new.The radio isn't the best receiver I own, I have several more expensive and better radios, but for the price I paid the FosPower Radio seems an exceptional value. It had enough of a charge to play out of the box. While learning where the buttons were, I tuned to a clear voice transmision on every band within 3 minutes. It is sturdy and will serve well as the radio I use outside and in harm's way. It's still new, but I'm glad I bought it.

Nice product. The Rafio ran for 30 hours before it started to show some fund of running out of Solar power. I haven’t tried the other features yet.

I bought this radio about three years ago, mostly to use for camping and hiking. Recently the power bank started to hold less and less power and the radio wasn't lasting as long on internal power; no complaints about that, three years of regular use and being stored in the trunk of my car when not in use will run down even the best batteries. So I decided to swap out the battery with a fresh one since the radio still works fine otherwise. The whole time I have had this radio there has been a Fospower sticker over the cover for the 3.7v internal rechargeable battery which I didn't think anything about since manufacturers often put "Do Not Tamper" stickers over things like that, I peeled off the sticker and the cover came off with it. At some point, before it was sold to me, someone broke the cover and just slapped a company sticker over it to hold it in place and shipped it off.This isn't a huge deal, I'm sure that some electrical tape will hold it in place (being that a simple sticker has held it in place for the past three years) but I am disappointed that someone at the factory thought that putting a sticker over the broken cover, rather than replace it, was a good decision from a customer service point of view.That said, once the replacement 3.7v battery arrives, I plan to continue to use this radio.
