Portable Emergency Weather Radio — Solar & Hand-Crank with Phone Charger
Product description
Includes a 2000mAh portable power bank integrated into the radio so you can top up a small phone or tablet during outages. The charger is intended for emergency use to help keep essential devices running when mains power is unavailable.
This unit is very compact at 130×50×60 mm and weighs about 231 g, making it easy to stash in a glovebox or grab-and-go bag. The lighting package features a bright 1.5W LED flashlight plus a separate motion-activated reading lamp for hands-free illumination in low-light conditions.
Three recharging methods are provided to keep the radio operating in a variety of situations: manual hand crank, a small solar panel on the chassis, and an internal Li-ion rechargeable battery. Those options ensure you can generate power by hand or sun if AC power is out.
Tuning is done with standard analog controls for AM, FM and NOAA weather band channels so you can monitor local forecasts and alerts. The device also offers an SOS siren and serves as a flashlight and signaling tool during storms, hurricanes, tornados or other emergencies.
Support and returns are included: an 18-month return window and ongoing technical assistance are provided to address functional concerns. This model is designed as an essential emergency kit item for preparedness and short-term power needs.

Just me 5/5
Surprised by the build and features
Bought two and they feel sturdier than expected. The matte, slightly rubbery finish improves grip and the crank spins smoothly. All lights and radio worked on initial testing.
