Our take on the WR120 NOAA Weather and Emergency Alert Radio

The Midland WR120 is a desktop NOAA weather radio that listens to the National Weather Service around the clock and sounds an alarm when a warning is issued for your area. S.A.M.E. technology lets you program the specific county codes you care about, so you are not woken by alerts for counties far away. It runs on wall power with three AA batteries as backup, and its 90 dB siren is loud enough to wake most households. It is a single-purpose device: no internet, no app, no phone alerts. That simplicity is why it is a common first pick for storm-prone households, and also why some owners find setup and the constant test alerts annoying.

Best forHouseholds in tornado, flood or severe-storm countryPeople who want alerts that work when power and cell service failAnyone who sleeps through a phone notificationA simple, no-subscription emergency radio for a bedroom or kitchen

Questions and answers

How does S.A.M.E. work?
You enter the six-digit code for your county, and the radio only sounds for alerts issued for that county. This cuts out warnings meant for areas far from you.
Does it work without power?
Yes. It runs on wall power and switches to three AA alkaline batteries during an outage, so it keeps listening and can still alarm.
Will it wake me up?
The siren is rated at 90 dB, which is loud enough to wake most people. You can also set it to voice alerts instead of the siren.
Does it receive AM or FM stations?
No. The WR120 is a NOAA weather and emergency alert receiver, not a general AM/FM radio.
What comes in the box?
The radio, an AC adapter and a telescoping antenna. Batteries for backup are not included.
