NOAA Hand Cranked Radio

I ordered this product for a Christmas present. It arrived on timea and in perfect condition. I would purchase from this vendor again and again.

Awesome radio

I purchased this product to serve multiple functions and it does them all well. I can not rate the cell phone charger function as I have not tested it yet - but given the generator charges the internal battery - it should work just fine in a pinch. The GMRS radio was the primary draw for me to...

Radio Review

The radio doesn't get good reception. We had to attach an antenna, and still can't hear it well. I figured with the quality and price, it should receive better than it does.

Great Design Marred by Poor Components

I've had this radio for a few months and tested it so my review is based on some experiences.First off I'd say if you don't have any emergency radio at all this one is worth consideration. It looks rugged, is easy to grab in a hurry, and has a ton of features. The weather band and Emergency alert...

Fails primary duty: AM/FM radio tuners barely work

No question, this radio "looks good", seems like strong construction, and has quite a list of features. Yes, the flashlight, siren, and SOS beacon work well. The NOAA Weather channels seem to work, depending on your location. The GMRS/FRS radio performance is dismal. But most important to me...

Does not come with cell phone charging cable

Right now I am giving this product only one star because it does not arrive with the cell phone charging cable. You have to register with Eton before they will send it to you, and it takes 3-4 weeks. (Luckily I read this information from another purchaser, because the manual that came with the...

A waste of money

I bought this radio at a sharper image closeout. I wish I didnt, as now I cannot take it back. TERRIBLE reception! The piece of junk radio I found on the side of the road picks up more stations than the FR1000 does. In order for me to get it to work I have to attach a jerry rigged aluminum...

This one may already have saved our life

First, a confession: I'm not great with alarm sounds and noises. I tend to think something is about to swoop in and grab me or the world is about to explode. In this case, a tornado was in our area and the radio was my first warning system, faster than the television set or even the storm sirens...

Almost perfect

This radio is very nice and does everthing it is advertised to do. The manual is a bit complex, but if you stick with it you can figure everything out.Interestingly, the most important feature--charging your cell phone---doesn't work right out of the box. You have to first go and register your...

Terrible

I have owned an earlier model of the Eton hand-crank emergency radio for several years. That product works quite will. I purchased this new model for the several functional enhancements it comes with: 1) Digital receiver, 2) NOAA receiver, and 3) FRS/GMRS radio base station transceiver...
