The FosPower Emergency Weather Radio (Model D8) is an outstanding device for staying prepared and informed during emergencies. It’s compact, yet packed with features that make it a must-have for any emergency kit. The NOAA/AM/FM radio reception is excellent, providing clear updates on weather and emergency alerts. The 37,000mWh battery capacity is impressive, offering long-lasting power. The multiple charging options—solar, hand crank, and USB—ensure that you can keep it running no matter the situation. The flashlight and reading light are bright and practical, and the SOS alarm is a reassuring feature for emergencies. I appreciate the durability and design, which feels rugged enough to withstand tough conditions. This weather radio is a reliable and versatile tool that brings peace of mind during storms, power outages, or outdoor adventures. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a dependable emergency device!

Works for its intended purposes. The extendable antenna is good at picking up signals and the speaker is clear. The sos function is a bit obnoxious but as long as you keep the switch to power you'll be fine. The reading light and flash lights are bright. Very useful in the dark to quickly locate something I've dropped. I don't know how one would begin to test the power generated by the cranking, but I found its a fun fidget when I watch movies/TV. Its has a sturdy inded to protect the handle when not in use. It is smooth turning, and has a light motor sound I find relaxing [like the hum of a car] but your mileage may vary there. Its not 'heavy' but it is substantial. Its lighter than my phone but the plastic is well molded with no unseamly seams. The rechargeable battery has a decent charge rate for my phone.

I saw this emergency radio reviewed on a prepper site. I ordered one for myself on Amazon. Delivered quick and undamaged. A lot of good features in one small radio. I liked it so much I bought three more to have sent to family for Christmas. Not sure if it is a plus or minus, the radio is analog. But pulls in the radio stations well. Not rated for rain, but is considered splash proof. Big rechargeable battery for your cellphone or tablet. Several options for getting on-board battery recharged if your power is out. Seller sent out quick and a good-to-have item for bad weather.

Bought this for my dad and son for Christmas and they both loved it it’s smaller than I thought but still a great size for throwing in a backpack or in your glove compartment in your car. Radio works well. Sound quality good. Has a solar charger, hand crank, and a bright flashlight.

This is a tiny power house. I am very pleased with the quality of the product and how many different functions it accomplishes in such a small device. It was exactly as described. The sound quality is very good and so is the reception. Great value!

Play Video I recently purchased the Essential Emergency Flashlight Radio Charger, and it’s been a game changer for my preparedness kit. This all-in-one device is incredibly versatile, featuring a solar panel for eco-friendly charging, a hand crank for when the sun isn’t shining, and the option to use AAA batteries, which adds to its convenience. (I said the wrong battery in the video, sorry!) The flashlight is bright and reliable, making it perfect for power outages or outdoor adventures. The built-in radio is a fantastic feature, providing access to emergency broadcasts and keeping you informed during critical situations. I was particularly impressed with the sturdy design and ease of use. Whether I'm using the solar panel or cranking it by hand, I always feel confident that I can get power when I need it most. Overall, this flashlight radio charger is a smart investment for anyone looking to enhance their emergency preparedness. Highly recommended!

I recently purchased the FosPower Emergency Weather Radio (Model A1) and am extremely impressed with its performance and features. This device is truly a must-have for both indoor and outdoor emergencies. First and foremost, the 7400mWh power bank is incredibly handy. It keeps my devices charged when I’m on the go or during power outages. The multiple charging options (USB, solar, and hand crank) give me peace of mind knowing I’ll always have access to power no matter the situation. The radio itself works flawlessly, picking up NOAA weather alerts and AM/FM signals with excellent clarity. The built-in flashlight is bright and has already come in handy during a recent camping trip. I also appreciate the SOS alarm feature, which adds an extra layer of safety. The FosPower Emergency Radio is compact, sturdy, and easy to use. It’s now an essential part of my emergency preparedness kit. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile emergency radio. It’s worth every penny!

Pros and cons... I gave it 3 stars for lacking a few features but it's decent radio. PROS... It charges via Solar, Hand crank and USB. If those fail, it takes AA batteries! It charges more slowly on cloudy days but it DOES charge in LOW light! The hand crank works well and will give you about 25 minutes of radio after cranking for three minutes. I suspect the gears are plastic but if you use reasonable care when cranking, it should last. It has great reception and sound. 7 preset weather stations. Analog tuning and good control with the knobs. Nice basic radio for staying informed. Has a bright reading lamp and a fair flashlight but brightness is NOT adjustable to save power. CONS... Rechargable Battery is NOT replaceable. It does NOT have an Emergency Alert feature. No clock and the front panel is not back lit.

Completo, só faltou poder selecionar ondas curtas.

Very happy with this radio. Small and compact for camping. Small speaker limits sound quality but it sounds excellent with headphones plugged in. Flashlight and reading light are very bright. Only improvement would be a less sensitive volume control at the lower volume levels.

Nunca te quedarás sin energía en tus celulares, radio, lámparas, con este aparato que se carga con luz solar, con una manivela o con un cable conectado a corriente eléctrica. Tiene 2 lámparas led, radio fm, estaciones de emergencia, y es batería de recarga de tus electrónicos en puerto usb y otro. Te lo recomiendo ampliamente.

It was charged when I received it. You know how when people get their digital products and toss the manual and just start pressing buttons? Well, you really need to read the manual. It's just a couple of pages. For instance, when charging you need to set the button at the bottom in the right position. The radio plays fine even without the antenna. I found my favorite radio station. Everything works. I tested charging my phone and that worked. I charged it. I notice it can charge my fire tablet. So yay. I bought it mainly for the radio and phone charging during outages. I have other flashlights, but it's good to have an extra one now. I like that it has 4 charging capabilities, solar, hand crank, AAA batteries, and USB charging. It's small and compact. Nice. I took the carabiner off. I don't need that. I'm not going out in the wild. Lol. Oddly enough I found the battery compartment a little difficult to get open for the AAA batteries. I did get it, and now that I have, it's fine. I didn't know if I need to recharge it since it was already charged, and to what amount I don't know. So I charged it through my pc. It says the red light comes on when charging, which it did, and that it turns off when fully charged. It says it takes 4.5 hours to be fully recharged. I had it there for about 6 and it never turned off. So I don't know what that means. I stopped it at 6 hours because I don't want anything to go wrong with it. Anyway, so far so good. The real test is when there will be a huge power outage again. Just made it through Fiona. The power was out for 40 hours where I was. This thing could have come in handy for charging my phone. Instead, I had to tightly limit the use of my cell phone in order to to make it last. And the only usable radio was on my phone which was definitely counter-productive. The SOS is really loud. But I think that is a good feature if you live in an area prone to tornados, earthquakes, and other extreme events. If you're trapped under rubble you can use it to alert search and rescue workers.

I think this is a great radio! It takes batteries, it has a crank recharge, solar and you can plug it into the wall (with a USB adapter) I got it for emergencies and thankfully haven't had to use it yet but it seems great! The sound is great, the buttons are big and clear and there is an emergency channel. There is also a flashlight and an SOS feature that is quite loud. The crank feature takes forever to get a big charge but at least gives you a couple mins of use for every 2-3 mins of cranking. Thankfully it also takes batteries and has a small solar panel to charge if you loose power. My understanding is that you can have it solar charging while using it so that is helpful.
