Our take on the Emergency Radio

This is a hand-crank and solar-powered AM radio with a built-in flashlight, made for power outages, storms and off-grid trips. It plays AM only, so it is a backup and emergency tool rather than a daily listening radio. Compared with weather radios that tune NOAA channels and FM, it covers less, but it needs no batteries or wall power to run. It suits campers, preppers and households that want a simple light-and-radio unit in a drawer.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as a cheap emergency backup rather than a main radio. They like that it works without batteries and has a light built in, but many find the AM-only tuning limited and the crank tiring.

What people mention
  • TuningCriticisedOwners say AM-only reception is limited and they miss FM and weather channels.
  • PowerMixedThe crank and solar keep it running without batteries, but charging is slow and cranking is tiring.
  • SoundCriticisedThe small speaker sounds thin and tinny, fine for voice but poor for music.
  • FlashlightPraisedBuyers find the built-in light useful during outages and at night.
  • BuildMixedIt feels light and plasticky, though most accept that for a backup unit.

Questions and answers

Does it receive FM or weather channels?
No. It tunes AM only, so it will not pick up FM music stations or NOAA weather broadcasts. For storm alerts, pair it with a weather radio.
How long does the hand crank run it?
Cranking gives a short burst of play time, typically enough for a few minutes of listening per session. Long listening means cranking often or using sun.
Can the solar panel charge it fully?
Solar charging works but is slow and needs direct sunlight. Treat it as a top-up, not a fast charger.
Does it need batteries?
No batteries are required for basic use. The crank and solar panel power it, which is the main reason people keep it for outages.
Is it good for everyday radio listening?
Not really. The AM-only band and small speaker suit emergency updates, not daily music or talk radio.
What is in the box?
The radio with its built-in flashlight and solar panel. Check the listing for any charging cable, since bundles vary.
Where is the Emergency Radio cheapest?
At Newegg, for $37.57, as of our latest check.
