Our take on the JVFCXXV Upgraded Emergency Weather Radio Hand Crank Solar Powered NOAA AM FM Radio with Weather Alert

The JVFCXXV is a hand-crank, solar-powered emergency radio that tunes AM, FM and NOAA weather bands and sounds an alert when the weather service issues one. It is a no-name brand, so expect basic build quality rather than a Midland or Eton. It charges by crank, solar panel or 5V USB. I have no current price or price history for it, so I cannot say whether now is a good time to buy.

Questions and answers

Is it worth buying over a Midland or Eton?
Only if the price is well below those brands. Midland and Eton radios have documented battery life and support; this one has neither. For a kit you may depend on, pay more for a known brand.
How long does hand cranking give me?
The listing gives no runtime figure, and crank radios this size typically give a few minutes of radio per minute of cranking. Treat the crank as a last resort after USB or solar.
Does it charge my phone?
It has a 5V output, so it can trickle-charge a phone over USB. Expect a slow, partial charge, not a full one.
What comes in the box?
The radio itself. A USB charging cable is commonly included with this type of radio, but confirm with the seller before ordering.
When is it cheapest?
Emergency radios usually drop before and during hurricane season and around Black Friday. I have no price history for this model, so check the price trend on this page before buying.
