This radio has 3 ways to charge and you can add batteries if all else fails. I really like that feature. It worked straight out of the box. I found our radio stations without a problem and the clarity is amazing. It's small but packs a punch with excellent quality, easy to use, and great value for the money. The light is very bright.

Really nice to have in emergencies! Lights & radio; so many ways to charge it. Works well.

Everything works. I am not sure about the built in battery life yet, but when using the dynamo, you have to hold onto the flashlight fairly firmly, which causes the supplemental battery cover to fall off since it is so flimsy. SO, when turning the Dynamo to charge the internal battery, the secondary battery cover falls off.

So far this appears to be a nice little emergency radio. I bought it because my old Radio Shack emergency radio finally bit the dust. (Radio Shack is no longer in business.) I have no illusions that the solar-charger on the top of the radio will really do any amount of decent charging but the rest of the features seem to work reasonably well. I was able to charge up the internal lithium battery with the included cable and a 5V wall charger I had lying around, and the radio worked off of the internal battery. It also worked off of AA batteries when I installed them. (Be sure to switch from L-ion to AA when using AA batteries.) I also was able top off charging my cell phone using the internal battery when it was charged up. Again I have no illusions that the radio internal battery would be able to fully charge an charge empty cell phone with either its internal battery or the charging crank, but it hopefully should be able to charge a phone up enough so that it could be used in an emergency to call for help. Perhaps someone would have to continuously charge the phone with the crank so that someone else would be able to have a long enough phone conversation to give emergency responders their location and problem. I ended up purchasing a separate table radio for home use that can work off of both an AC wall plug and D batteries with no Weather band channel so as to keep the little Prunus Emergency Radio always on stand by for emergencies. I did a lot of searching and research before deciding upon an emergency radio and all in all, so far, I think purchasing this little Prunus emergency radio was a good choice for my needs without breaking the bank.

This product is really a gem. I like that it has more than one way to charge the battery. The reading light is brilliant and not too bright. I wasn't expecting the SOS message, which was a plus for this product. The radio works and picks up many channels and the channels are loud and clear without static. I have no problems with this radio and would buy it again. It also charges the cell phone. This is a much needed item for an emergency or everyday use.

Great for boat, camping, power outage, or hurricane prep bag. The instructions could be a little clearer, but once I played around with it, radio worked as advertised, with regular and the hand crank batteries. Compact and reasonably well made for the money.

I love this little radio. The flashlight works. It works on AA batteries if the lithium battery dies.I just went thru hurricane Milton and it saved my sanity. I listened to lovely music and news. Andlithium battery is still good and I used it a lot. Very impressed! Thanks.
