Our take on the ER40 Portable Emergency Weather Alert Crank Radio

The Midland ER40 is a portable emergency weather radio with a hand crank, a solar panel and a USB port for charging a phone. It tunes NOAA weather channels and standard AM/FM, and its backlit LCD stays readable in the dark. An LED flashlight with an SOS strobe doubles as a signal light. It suits campers, preppers and households that want a backup radio that works without wall power. Against rivals like the Midland ER310, it is the simpler, smaller unit: no built-in flashlight modes beyond the LED beacon and no battery-level display of the ER310's kind.

Questions and answers

Does the ER40 receive NOAA weather alerts?
Yes. It tunes NOAA weather channels along with AM/FM, so you can hear official warnings during a storm or outage.
How do you charge it?
Three ways: a hand crank, a built-in solar panel, and USB. The crank and solar are slow, so use USB when you have power.
Can it charge a phone?
Yes, through its USB port. Expect a partial charge rather than a full one, since the radio's battery is small.
Is it waterproof?
No. It is a portable radio for outdoor use, but it is not rated waterproof, so keep it out of rain.
How does it compare with the Midland ER310?
The ER310 adds a brighter multi-mode flashlight and a battery-level display. The ER40 is the smaller, simpler unit with the same crank, solar and weather-radio basics.

The radio itself with its rechargeable battery installed. Check the listing for any charging cable included.
