Summary: good
Comment: We live in an area where we need storm information. I'm very happy that the stations are clear and the weather information is precise.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wouldn't travel without it!
Comment: We ordered this radio prior to our six week road trip from California to Georgia and back this late spring. We not only used it in the truck when there were no radio station signals to warn of impending weather, but also in our travel trailer at night. More than once we were alerted to a tornado warning (Texas & Louisiana) and severe weather warning (Georgia). It saved us from damage when we were alerted to a severe hailstorm and high wind warning one afternoon and got our awning down just in time, others were not as lucky. Great product!

Summary: Weather raidio
Comment: For anyone looking for a small weather radio, this is the best I have ever seen. It is smaller than a cell phone, easy to carry, has adjustable sound, and does what is advertises.
I recommend it highly for anyone looking for this type of device.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Did not work
Comment: I had high hopes for this based on other reviews. I was looking for a small weather alert radio for camping with the Boy Scouts so we could be alerted to thunderstorms. Out of the package, this radio did not work....if you jiggled the power switch enough, you might hear NOAA broadcasts for a couple of minutes, then it would die again. The alert function never worked with a severe storm aproaching.
Customer Rating:
Summary: good, inexpensive weather radio
Comment: This isn't the fanciest weather radio in the world, but it is inexpensive and very portable. There is sometimes some static on the broadcast, but I'm pretty sure that is coming from the broadcast itself and not being caused by the radio, since my last weather radio sounded about the same. There are a couple things to keep in mind about the "alert" feature, if you are buying it for that.
1) It will drain your batteries while it is in the alert mode, and you won't know when you run out - so if you're looking for one to be constantly on alert mode in your home, you should look for one of the ones that plugs into the wall.
2) It isn't limited by location or type of alert, just if there is any alert being broadcast by the station it is picking up, it will go off - for instance once it gave me an alert for thunderstorms in a city 50 miles from here.
However, for my purposes this radio is perfect - I leave it completely off most of the time, but when I hear the severe weather sirens go off outside or there are really strong winds blowing things around, I turn it on and listen to the broadcast. Then if it's bad and I have to seek shelter I can carry the radio with me and know when it is safe to come out.
