Best solar powered emergency radios
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 10, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Midland ER310. The most complete emergency radio here — solar, hand crank and NOAA alerts, plus a big battery that runs for days and can top up a phone. It's the one I'd keep charged in a closet.
Who the others suit:
- Midland E+Ready Compact — same trusted brand in a smaller, simpler crank radio for a go-bag or car.
- Ready Hour 4-in-1 — best value all-rounder: solar, crank, NOAA and a flashlight, with the strongest owner ratings.
- Eton FRX3+ — a solid alternative if you want a well-known name with weather band and crank.
- Sangean MMR-88 — for radio people: great tuning and sound, but no NOAA alert tone.
- Esky / Solar Hand Crank NOAA — cheap spares to stash in a second room or car.
Skip the Grundig FR200 and TSV if you need solar and NOAA alerts — they lack them.
