Raynic Emergency Radio, 5000mAh/18500mWh Weather Radio, Solar Hand Crank Radio with AM/FM/SW/NOAA Alert, Cell Phone Charger, Headphone Jack, Flashlight and SOS Siren

This completely met my expectations. The quality of the radio is great, it feels sturdy and not cheap at all. It's a lot smaller than I expected but that's not a bad thing at all. It charged quickly using the power cord but of course we had to play around with the crank charger first and after just a few minutes of cranking, it was charged enough to power on and use. There was no setup required. I love the fact that it has three sources of energy. The radio is great, its easy to get a signal and scroll through the channels. I love that you can use it to charge your devices. The alarm is very loud and the flashlight and reading lights are both bright and extremely useful in a power outage. I would 10/10 recommend buying this.

This little radio was quite useful during the blizzard this week in Boston. I was able to charge my phone, listen to the radio. My power was out for 8 hours . Easy to use, lightweight, and reliable. I was lucky the power outage was short but having the radio as my companion for the duration was awesome. For anyone who lives alone this is the perfect gift to give. Everyone should always be prepared for emergencies.

This is an exceptionally capable, lightweight radio - with a couple of key things missing and odd button placement. I bought it on a suggestion from Kim Komando. It has many great functions and abilities - but I will list the things I would change . First, the volume up and down buttons are reversed from what an American user would expect. They have + on left and - on right. Tune buttons would seem reversed as well. The big deal for me though is - NO ability to memorize favorite channels. ALSO, every time I turn the radio on, it starts in Wx mode - silent, so you have to pick the band you were last on and re-tune the radio every single time it's powered on. This radio has SO MANY other abilities, that it seems these should be possible. And yet, these items are noticeably missing. In all other ways, the radio is great - and so I did not return it, but now have it as a monitor/backup source during storms and outages. I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the two missing items I think it should have.

I am super excited about this little radio. Much smaller than I thought but the sound quality, receiver signal strength, volume control, ease of use, and the quality are entirely exceptional. The brightness on the flashlight was pretty descent and the reading led is very nice to use. I love the idea with the internal battery, solar charging, hand crank, and backup batteries is very clever so you will not run out of power when you need it.

I needed a small radio in the house for emergencies. During a move, I lost an older radio that I always kept ready for a power outage. This Raynic Emergency Radio is rechargeable, has lights, FM and AM Band plus weather alerts and antenna. Thankfully, I have not had to use it yet for an emergency or power outage but I did tune it in to a couple of Radio Stations and it has a nice sound - not a lot of static. Great price point, overnight delivery, works well - fully charged - I'm very happy with my purchase, would buy again and recommend to family of friends.

The choice of power options makes this radio a good choice. Living geographically between Philadelphia and Allentown, the radio picks up both weather stations with no problem. Sensitivity is more than adequate on AM and FM, and short wave is OK, but tuning short wave can be a long process. Flashlight is a handy plus, and the price was reasonable. Sound is good, considering the relatively small speaker.

Reception on SW Frequency is not sensitive and is weak or unable to receive, it does not pic up channels on the SW band well. AM and FM seem to receive well. All of the radio lights/flashlight work well. NOAA Weather channels work well. Very small and light weight, and I like the (camouflage print) on the radio. Very compact and useful and the Solar charger seems to work well. and hand crank charger.

I own a lot of radios, and have owned a lot of 'emergency' type radios. I would say I'm well acquainted with modern radios. I really like this radio. First, what this is and what this isn't. It's an AM/FM/SW/WX radio made for emergency, camping or backpacking type use. It's not your AM DX or SW base station. That said, this is a radio that if you only could have one, this wouldn't be a bad choice, just not the best choice. The build quality on this is pretty good. It's about the size of a red brick. The plastic case is thick and should withstand dropping onto a hard surface. I'll let you test that out though. The buttons are nice and responsive. The handle is very basic but it's strong and adjustable. I've read and seen complaints about the handle covering the solar panel. It's not a big deal, it easily pulls to the side. Not really an issue at all. The whip antenna is about 14" long. The lights are bright. One side has a rubber cover for jacks, with 3 buttons for lights and the emergency siren. The rubber cover stays in place fine, and the 2 USB and headphone ports are solid. The 3 buttons for the 2 lights and emergency siren are solid. Some reviews I've read mention how the emergency button is not protected and can be set off on accident. No, not really. It is unprotected, but does require a long button press to activate. Also, if the radio is locked, the buttons don't function anyway. It's really easy to use. There is no memory, but you do get a decent scan by pressing and holding the tune buttons. I don't think anyone would have any problems using this radio. No instructions required for the most part. Foregoing high end features allows this to be easily controlled by the buttons without having to know codes or shifts to get something done. Which is good, because I received no instructions with this radio. Tuning is great. Very responsive on AM/FM and I was able to picrk up 2 WX stations in the area. I'm not in a good area for SW, but attaching a long wire to the antenna helps. There are no antenna inputs, so a wire antenna is really the only option for SW, but usually that's all that's needed. Carry some wire with you or one of those roll up portable SW antennas. The display is very easy to read and has a nice backlighting to it. This was one of the reasons I went for this radio. The display is a standard size but the whole display is mainly used for frequencies. This is important if you rely on reading glasses and don't have them. The hand crank is solid, I've had ones that feel like you're going to break them. The solar panel is competent. Here's the thing about them: You're likely never going to have to use them, but if you do, they're going to work well enough. What I've done is charged the internal Li-ion battery and stored 3 AAA batteries in the battery compartment (taped ends and upside down so as not to discharge) in case they're needed. I'm not concerned about the solar panel or crank, they're there in case there are no other options and they will work. I will likely recharge this using a solar powered 30000 mAh battery pack in an emergency. Overall, it's a good little radio. It's built well, it's inexpensive, and it's probably going to work. The buttons and screen are big enough for the elderly to use no problem. Same with kids. I wouldn't hesitate to take this as a travel radio, it should pack well. Easy to attach to a pack if you're hiking. It's in that sweet spot of quality, function, and price.

Que en la foto se bé un equipo de medidas normal, però cuando lo ves, es Mas pequeño

As advertised. The radio is better than I expected. I thought it would sound tinny, but it was better. The lights are good. The buttons work. And the siren is loud.

Nice little radio packed with with some good features. Weather band and FM reception in my area are pretty good. Long wave is non existent in my region .AM I can only get at night and is staticky because of where I live. Lights and powerpack are very good. The siren is loud. The biggest drawback is with Shortwave tuning. There is no separate button that you can go from one station in one wave length to another in a different wave length so you have to scan through all stations in the different wave lengths which can take some time. If there was a separate button that would allow you to go a specific wave length to scan channels would be a feature that would make this a better unit.

This is a great little item. It has lots of extras - flashlight, reading lamp, siren etc. It is an excellent addition to my kit as well as it gives my family and I a little piece of mind knowing we will have some communication if anything unfortunate happens.

Good item that works exactly as described.
