Questions and answers

Is the QFX R-52 worth it at $21.99?
At $21.99 at Best Buy as of November 4, 2026, it is a cheap way to get AM/FM/shortwave, solar charging, Bluetooth and a flashlight in one unit. Expect basic analog tuning and short battery life at that price.
How long does the battery last?
Listed runtime is 2.5 to 6 hours depending on use, so the flashlight and Bluetooth will drain it faster. The battery is rechargeable and removable, and the solar panel tops it up slowly off-grid.
Does it receive weather alerts?
No weather band is listed. It covers AM, FM and shortwave only, so it is not a substitute for a NOAA weather radio.
Can I play music from a phone or USB drive?
Yes. It streams over Bluetooth and plays MP3 files from USB drives or microSD cards.
What comes in the box?
The radio, a rechargeable battery and a carrying strap are described; check the listing for the charging cable. No AC adapter details are given.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price is $21.99 at Best Buy as of November 4, 2026, with five stores listing it new. Emergency radios often drop around storm season and holiday sales.
