I bought this radio for my husband as an anniversary gift (not the most romantic, but he really loved it!). It charges his cell phone, it gets great reception - and it is totally green. We have yet to need to plug it in because the crank works so well. And we use the radio daily. We cart this to the city and to the farm and the weather band is always reliable.
I purchased this radio for my boyfriends birthday August 22, 2011. We were on vacation in the Rocky Mountains due to return home to NJ on saturday August 27, the day Hurricane Irene hit. But we were delayed for 3 extra days. When we finally got home, we did not have any power. But now we had an emergency radio and got to listen to the Yankee game! Plus it had a nice little flash light. Thanks LL Bean:)
radio worked ok at first. the stations did not come in clear,then it would shut off & not turn back on for awhile. i am sending it back & trying another. hope it works.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Performing as Expected, all around nice
I GAVE THIS ONE A A PRESENT TO A TORNADO ALLY RELATIVE. HE IS THRILLED WITH IT AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE RECHARGEABLE AND OTHER FEATURES AND ESPECIALLY ABLE TO RECHARGE THEIR CELL PHONES.
