Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of American Red Cross FR150 Microlink Solar-Powered, Self-Powered AM/FM/Weatherband Portable Radio with Flashlight and Cell Phone Charger (Red)
Customer Review: Nice weather radio
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a nice AM/FM/weather radio with flashlight. Crank it for a minute or two to charge the battery and you get good reception and performance. It gets better FM reception than my large plug-in radio, and perfect reception on the weather band. The flashlight is strong too.
I've only had it for a month, so I can't comment on longevity, but it seems well built and durable.
Customer Review: The best $30.00 NOAA radio out there!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fabulous radio for only $30.00! I live 12 miles from a NOAA transmitter in a house with 9 inch thick stone walls and this little set pulls in a strong, clear signal at all times! I previously owned a Midland WR10 which under exactly the same conditions could barely recieve with two antennas sometimes. I threw it away the minute I turned on the Red Cross(Eton) radio.Customer Review: No cell charger
Summary: 5 Stars
Great little device! Smaller than expected. Sturdy, with good AM reception and loud volume. Light and solar panel appear to work as well.
One problem - you need an adapter to charge your cell phone, but I can't find the adapter anywhere (amazon, ebay, etc). So, the cell charging functionality is null. If you find it please let me know and post it here!
Customer Review: OMG perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
The sound quality may not be the best but solar powerd, hand cranked, am/fm/ weatherband radio, flashlight and cell phone charger is required for emergencies. Most suprising to me was within 2 weeks of registering at thier site, they sent me an adapter for my Env Touch, and this phone has a really rare input jack, even the Energizer To Go products don't fit , wow!Customer Review: Weathered Hurricane Ike Well
Summary: 5 Stars
I listened to AM and FM news stations on it during my 6-hour evacuation ride from Houston to Dallas. Tuning in stations was easy and the signal was clear and powerful throughout the trip. The bright flashlight is a nice addition and proved useful several times. I'm back home now and the radio is sitting safe and dry in a box with my other hurricane supplies.
