smaller than i anticipated, this radio is quite functional. i haven't gotten to all its functions yet, but so far i am quite pleased with the purchase.
So far I like the radio, haven't used it much, but haven't had to yet. No storms or emergencies yet. I showed it to my youngest daughter and she wants a red one for Christmas. So may be buying 4 more before Christmas for all my grown kids.
Living on the side of the tornado belt, we have found this product extremely useful, especially the "alert" function which allows the radio to silently scan the weather channels for severe weather alerts.
Also, the included battery, while it works well, it is recommended that you be ready to purchase 3AAA batteries for longer listening times (so you do not have to crank the radio for three minutes every half hour)
I purchased the weather radio to take on a trip out west. We would be hiking and I wanted something that would give me weather alerts. The day after I received the radio, we had bad weather coming into our area at home. I plugged in the battery that comes with the radio, there was a tornado and flood watch for the region. I would recommend this for everyone to have with them.
