Our take on the SUPERSONIC SC-1180BT Solarwave Solar Emergency Radio

The Supersonic SC-1180BT Solarwave is a portable emergency radio that charges from the sun or a hand crank and also plays Bluetooth audio from a phone. It covers AM and shortwave, and its standout extra is a wireless charging pad for a phone on top. Build quality and tuning feel are basic next to name-brand emergency radios like the Eton or Midland models, and shortwave reception is limited. It suits campers, power-outage households and preppers who want a backup radio with a phone charger built in, not audiophiles or serious shortwave listeners.

What reviewers say

Owner feedback is thin and mixed. Buyers like the combination of solar, crank and Bluetooth in one rugged-looking unit, but several complain about weak shortwave reception and slow solar charging.

What people mention
  • Shortwave receptionCriticisedOwners say shortwave stations are hard to pull in and drift while tuning.
  • Solar chargingCriticisedThe panel trickles power, so it works as a top-up rather than a full charge.
  • Sound qualityCriticisedMusic over Bluetooth sounds thin and tinny from the small speaker.
  • FeaturesPraisedBuyers value having solar, crank, Bluetooth and a light in one unit.
  • BuildMixedThe housing feels light and plasticky, though it survives being tossed in a bag.

Questions and answers

Does it charge a phone wirelessly?
Yes. It has a wireless charging pad on top for compatible phones, and a USB port for wired charging.
Can it run without sun or batteries?
Yes. The hand crank generates power for the radio and light when the battery is empty and there is no sun.
How good is shortwave on this radio?
Basic. It receives shortwave, but tuning is coarse and signals drift, so it is not a substitute for a dedicated shortwave set.
What can I listen to?
AM and shortwave broadcasts, plus anything streamed from a phone over Bluetooth.
Is it waterproof?
No. It is a portable indoor and campsite radio, not a waterproof marine or weatherproof model.
Who is it for?
Households and campers who want one backup device that receives radio, lights a room and tops up a phone.
Where is the SUPERSONIC SC-1180BT Solarwave Solar Emergency Radio cheapest?
At Newegg, for $31.99, as of our latest check.
