Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Eton FR400 Hand Crank Radio and Power Generator (Silver)Customer Review: Waayyyyyy Overpriced..... Summary: 1 StarsI own about 10 different weather radios of various prices, styles, and brands. One of them is an Eton. My other Eton is a very capable radio but certainly not my best. (Read my other reviews for my opinion of which ones are). This particular Eton I do not own, but was able to see and use up close in an electronics store. It has a nice compact design and got fairly decent reception. However for the price of it where I saw it, ($58) and the price they want it for it here, its as extremely overpriced as an AM FM weather radio can get. It offers absolutely nothing in its design or performance over anything else I own to justify such an outrageous price. I think Eton seems to sucker in a lot of buyers for their radios for they are one of the oldest and best known radio company's around. But so is "Midland" and their portable unit similar to this is more than $20 cheaper, and a whole lot more rugged as well. Take it from someone that owns a variety of such radios as this. This is not the same Eton radio your father owned and not worth it. Whether you're interested in a radio for its AM or FM, or just for its weather, do not pay $60 for this unit. There are far better choices for a lot less money. Do yourself a favor and shop around....
