The multiple functions, including the flashlight and reading lamp, are practical for various situations. The large capacity battery and multiple charging options, including solar and hand crank, provide peace of mind during power outages. Its ability to charge other devices is invaluable in emergencies. The SOS alarm adds an extra layer of safety. It’s a well-thought-out tool for anyone seeking reliability and versatility in emergency situations.
Perfect exactly what I wanted. Flashlight is very bright. Even in an electrical cut have light, radio, and can charge phone. Plus can charge battery by hand. If into camping perfect.
The radio works, the torch works and it’s easy enough to charge with the winding handle. So far so good. Sound quality isn’t great but as a radio goes it’s ok. Obviously doesn’t have DAB and if you didn’t know the silver thing on the top needs to be extended as it’s an arial.
It can be charged by a USB cable but the claimed 8000 mAh is a little optimistic as I have opened the battery compartment and found the two 4000 mAh inside. They are not particularly heavy as I would have expected. You could even charge your phone and then listen to DAB should the world still be around. It also comes with adapters for Apple chargers.
There are no rubber seals on the battery compartment and the claim of IPX 3 just means it might stand up to a few splashes of water. It is not waterproof though it doesn’t claim to be. It’s best to understand what IPX numbers refer to get a better understanding.
The quality of the plastics remind me of a transistor radio I was given in the 70’s as a child, cheap plastic and if you drop it, it might break. It’s not really a survivalist radio.
To be honest, it’s ok, it’s not over priced and if you use AM/FM you could take it camping and forget it needs batteries. Make sure you bubble wrap it to protect it.
I’m not a paranoid person by nature, but I was intrigued by this products as I write post apocalyptic science fiction and this seems perfect for the prepper. It’s not, according to the instructions, designed to be routinely used as a battery bank, though I’m not sure why, but is otherwise ideal to keep in the understairs cupboard to await the next power cut.
You’d usually charge it up using the USB-C cable included, but it includes a hand crank in case it runs out of power during a blackout, but hand cranking is laborious and inefficient so for emergencies only.
There are two lighting arrays – the one on the end of the device is to act as a flashlight with three distance settings. The flip-up one on the top works well as a reading light.
The AM/FM radio works well, though the speaker is a bit weedy (and AM never sounds good), and perhaps it would have been good to include shortwave bands given its use in emergencies.
The device itself is surprisingly compact and would fit easily in a backpack or drawer, and it’s light enough to make it easy to carry.
I love the idea of a bright yellow wind-up radio that has a torch, reading light, compass and can act as a power bank for other devices. For a camping trip, or responding to flooding it has everything you need and LEDs to let you know status – four LEDs for level when charging from a power source, one showing you hand charging is working and one for tuning. Powerbank can run two devices and unit comes with a multi-function lead with adapters for USB-c, micro-USB and Apple.
Sound quality is as expected for a small plastic radio, music and talk radio are clear but not hi-fi.
My only concern is the size and materials for an emergency radio, it does a lot more than my tiny Sony World Band radio, (which is more than 30 years old and going strong. but this new radio is more than four times the size, made of brittle plastic and does not have short wave, which in a real emergency may be in use from a distant source. Worth the price for camping holidays.
This is a great all in one functional radio flashlight to have.
It has a good number of functions such as:
Radio – AM / FM
Solar charging
Charge indicator – on the front – blue led’s
Manual Crank Charging
Ability to disconnect the battery to preserve battery life
USB C Changing
2 x USB ports for charging your handsets
3 levels of flashlight which is very bright – push of a button
2 levels of reading light – turns off when you close the panel and adjusted from the front
SOS button – keep hold to turn on and press to turn off
and finally a compass with a carry strap.
If you’re ever in a situation, this is one thing to have with you as it has the crank facility to generate power, even if you were stuck in the dark.
The SOS button is very loud so if you do intend to test this, make sure your partner is aware of you doing this else you will be in for a beating like I nearly got.
The radio reception is good, even indoors, I could tune into a weak radio station, but the tuning is very fine so you have to have a steady hand.
The compass is more than flaky so don’t rely on this. I think this is due to the fact that the unit has a lound speaker that has a reasonably sized magnet, which is affecting and maybe affected the overall performance of the compass accuracy.
Good kit and would recommend even when you’re out and about or in long journeys.
If you get this, make sure you take it with you as there’s nothing worse than saying that I wish I had taken the emergency kit with me.
This radio seems well built and sturdy.
It looks like it will be reasonably water resistant for the outside.
It comes with a USB charging cable so you can charge it up before you go on an expedition.
It has a solar panel on top to help recharge, and a good long winding arm that seems easy to use.
It has two torches, a regular one on the front with various functions, plus a flip up panel under the solar panel for a wider field of illumination.
It supports AM and FM bands, and has a good tuner that allows decent fine tuning.
The only issue I have is the compass – it has a compass which should be a good thing.
However, my compass was rotated 180 degrees – so it points to SOUTH but it says NORTH! And vice-versa for North… Weird.
Apart from that, a really good radio.
