Summary: 4 Stars
I got this radio as a gift. I haven't had to use it in an emergency, but I have tried it out to make sure it works. Cranking the handle around about twenty times gives you approximately 10 minutes of listening to the radio at a moderate volume. The weather band is pretty neat to listen to. I tried the TV bands but didn't get much because of my rural location. Overall this is a nice radio to have tucked away in case we are without electricity for an extended period of time. Oh, by the way, the radio comes with several adaptors to fit various cell phones so that they can be recharged by cranking the handle around. Unfortunately, none of them fit my particular phone. I looked on the internet to see if I could buy one but haven't had any luck yet.Customer Review: NOT GREAT, but good for what it's for...
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this radio thinking it would be a little bit better quality than it turned out to be. However, I bought it for emergencies (I live in So. Cal) and use it occasionally to listen to the weather and surf reports (I live 100 feet from the ocean). It works great when hand-cranked and the cell phone charger works very well- my daughters have put it use on their tired cellies. I've taken it camping and have enjoyed listening to local high school sports radio stations and talk shows...and tide, weather, and ocean conditions reports on NOAA.
Anywho, the FR300 could stand to be better quality for $50.00, but it does the job as intended and it's kinda fun and my kids love it.
