Customer Review: Would definitely recommend
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in a semi-rural area that doesn't have high-speed internet, cable TV or very good cell phone reception available. If there is rain or wind, the digital TV signals completely blank out and turtle slow internet speed doesn't do me any good (if I can even get the web page to load) when there is no power. This means I have no way to monitor weather conditions when I need information the most.
After experiencing an increase in severe storm activity accompanied by several power outages, I decided it was time to purchase a weather radio. I read a lot of reviews on this product and am very glad I made this purchase! Some reviews had stated it was difficult to program but I found it extremely easy -- you just have to follow the directions step by step that are given in the manual. I never had any idea that there were SO MANY alerts out there you can monitor! My only complaint with the set up process is the fact that I made this purchase mainly to receive alerts for tornado warnings, but this alert was not even listed as an option when programming and there was no mention of it in the manual. After contacting the Midland help line I learned that this is a mandatory warning that is automatically programmed into the system and cannot be silenced or disabled which is why it was not listed. Personally, I think they should state this in their manual in order to save a lot of people the frustration of thinking it isn't there.
Within two weeks of receiving my radio, the system was put to the ultimate test - we had an actual tornado warning (first one for my immediate area in more than 4 years!) The radio alert signal and voice command with full instructions was not only very prompt and accurate (my radio alerted me at least 5 minutes earlier than the TV broadcast), but the volume was loud enough for me to hear it from every room in the house. I cannot express how thankful I was to have those few extra minutes to get my family to safety! The compact size and battery back up were perfect for keeping the radio with us to monitor exactly where the storm was tracking and to know when we were out of danger. I am very happy with this radio and would recommend it to anyone!!
My only disappointment was making the purchase from the Amazon Marketplace. Good price, but I didn't receive a delivery date until after my purchase was complete. When I reviewed the company prior to purchase, the information I saw showed they were located in Wisconsin - I am in Western Michigan. Had I known that it would take 10 DAYS for me to receive this unit, I would have paid the couple of bucks extra from another company to get my order in no more than 2 days. I cannot say that I will be purchasing much from Amazon in the future as this has consistently been my experience with them --- very slow to ship.
