Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Grundig FR200 Emergency Radio (Red)
Customer Review: Good emergency radio and light
Summary: 4 Stars
With about a minute of cranking I got over 30 minutes of power (it may have lasted much longer but I turned it off after that). The built-in light is very bright. The radio reception seems ok and there are course and fine tuner adjustment knobs that make it easy to dial-in a station.
You can power it with the crank, with batteries, or there are models with AC.
My only quibble is that the product feels a bit flimsy. The knobs especially worry me. The crank seems better but is still plastic. Overall though a nice thing to have around the house or for camping.
Customer Review: This is COOL!

Makes a great gift, love the red color. I think this is awesome to have in a pinch. I bought this for a table gift and just loved it and I DID try it! I have the flashlights that crank and everyone loves those. I found the reception pretty darn good on just the crank wind. My only beef is the light should be a little brighter and the DC adapter should come with it. But dont hesitate on it for a gift cause it's a neat item to have. My son came from Texas and loved it, said he needs one there lol. It's a winner!Customer Review: looks like a toy

Really, I was amazed how little this radio is, but it seems to work. My boyfriend cranked it for perhaps 45 seconds, and he got a short wave station or two, and some am stations. We have yet to give it a real test, but so far it looks promising. The light went on, and we had reception. Living on the coast of Maine, we seem to lose power a couple of times a month, every time the wind blows hard. So it's a comfort to have this little but apparently nicely functional crank radio.Customer Review: Emergency radio

The Grundig FR200 is a highly useful item to have around the house - a small insurance policy against the moment when natural or Man generated disaster threatens or strikes, you need to know what is going on and power systems are down. The hand crank guarantees access whether you have batteries in the house or not. As to voice quality: The Grundig has reasonably good sound quality and makes for agreeable listening in untroubled times.Customer Review: An Awesome Product for the Price

I bought the Grundig hand-crank radio specifically to take camping with me and this thing works like a charm! I can get stations from Burlington while I'm in the southern Adirondacks (about 80 miles away) and it's relatively water-resistant...in addition to that, it works perfectly with the wireless transmitter for the iPod...my only complaint is that I wish this particular model had an adapter iPod/cell phone charging purposes.
