Best Purchase
 from Shinnston, W.V.,  Dec 25, 2008

Of course the best thing about this product is that it requires NO batteries ! We are outdoor people and wheather we need a light for night feeding of our horses or are out in the middle of nowhere, camping, it sure is nice not to worry about batteries.It is small, which is another plus for us, and the cell phone charger is GREAT. The sound is very clear on the radio. So, all in all, I'd have to say this is the most used, needed, appreciated item we have bought in a long time !!

Great Radio
 from Ct.,  Jun 9, 2011

A great radio for money anddddddddddd it works. Alll components ie radio, light, and weather station. It even picked up the Yale station that my large radio won''t pick up ( I live in the valley ). Only thing I did not try is head phone jack. I saved the best for last. It arrived today and we are getting over a severe storm, power outages, trees down etc. So I got to use it TODAY when power went out. Radio reception is excellent. It is small, has hand strap and a pull up handel. Will suggest all my friends to purchase it, money well spent. Soooooo glad I got it in time for todays storm. Just a few weeks ago during an outage and no one to talk to I was quite bored. Don't hesitate buy it. Size only slightly larger than my digital camera in depth only, and looks good too.

Big things come in small packages
 from Suncoast, Florida,  Jun 6, 2011

At first glance, I found this product to be somewhat below my expectations. After removing it from the package I was quite surprised to see how bright the flashlight was. Next, tried the alarm, which was more than adequate. Then, turned the radio on. Here the product fell just a little short. Reception depended on where you stood, but it still worked. The amazing part was the cell phone adaptor. Hooked it up and as I used the crank the cellphone's display showed it was being charged! The handcrank was very sturdy and didn't have that "junk" feeling. All in all, I highly recommend this unit, you'd be foolish not to have one.

Great Product
 from Cadillac, MI,  Jan 29, 2009

I bought this for my mother. She lives in a remote area of Michigan and the power seems to go out frequently. When I received the radio/light I was surprised at how light and easy to use it was. I would recommend this product to everyone.

Small but mighty!
 from Phoenix Az.,  Jun 14, 2011

I ordered this for me, but gave it to my son. My grandkids,doughter, and son go to the lake on overnighters on the weekend. This is perfect for the sky boat, the boat is compact, and so is the radio that will fit right in the emergency kit on board. We have monsoons here in Phoenix Arizona, this mighty little radio is perfect for this as sometime people forget batters (AA) of (AAA) , but the crank generator power assures me my kids and grandkids will have emergency radio contact, and I peace of mind. Love this product. Paula H..

Peace of mind!
 from Florida,  Jun 14, 2011

Wow, what a great item! I live in Florida, we have weather that causes power outages with this emergency radio I know I will not be with out the news in an emergency situation. With everything that has been happening all over the planet emergency preparedness has never been more important! I took this out of the package and tried it, it worked beautifully. I also bought the hand crank lanterns so I can have light and I am just blown away by how great these items are. Why don't they make more human powered appliances? I think everyone should have at least these two items in their homes for emergencies. I just bought myself peace of mind, PRICELESS! Thank you Overstock for selling such wonderful items. I love shopping here!

Works as advertised.

Not much to say. Charges up easily with a minute of cranking, the LED light is bright and the radio gets decent reception. Perfect for emergency kits.

Buffalo Hand Crank Emergency LED Light FM Radio
 from Corydon, IN,  May 21, 2012

I bought the radio mainly for the weather radio for emergencies. It would not pick up in my location, which is not that remote. I bought two, so I sent the unopened one back. Overstock was good, took back within 30 days, I just had to pay returning shipping of $*.

Great little radio/flashlight combo
 from Illinois,  Mar 28, 2012

I purchased this as an add-on to my bug out survival bag, and was very happy with it. It's lightweight, tine, and very compact. My only complaint is that the light is not very bright, though I really bought this for the crank radio purpose, so it's not a huge concern. It is smaller than you might imagine - about the size of a walkman for those of you who remember those. All in all I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend it.

  • How accurate was the sizing? Very accurate
  • Please tell us about the quality of the product. Seems to be high quality...
  • Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No defects that I can see
