Very Usefull! Fast Charging and a Good Radio.
Features: Internal 10000mAh power bank, Solar panel/ hand crank for charging the power bank and usb devices through the usb output, a micro usb input for charging the Internal power bank from an external power source, a radio with WB,FM,AM, dials for volume and tuning, charging and tuning indicator lights, tuning frequency screen to show current selected radio frequency range, bright light with power button, load speaker, carry string, and portable size.Likes: Charges usb devices fast, Easy to crank, Solar panel works to charge too, Large Internal battery, Good - tunable - WB,FM,AM Radio, Good speaker, Light is bright.Dislikes: The dials on the radio are stiff (don't move easy), Solar panel can be covered while using the hand crank (No extra grip point).It can charge high-capacity phone batteries within a couple hours even while the phone is on, using just the hand-crank, and even quicker with the solar panel also being charged in the sunlight. The radio picks up signals well and has a usable sound quality/volume. The light is bright and can be used for a long time with a few cranks (5min with 20 cranks). Charged a 3100mAh battery by 10 percent in about 20 minutes and a Samsung Galaxy S8s 4000mAh battery one percent after about 4minutes of cranking; these are large phone batteries and 1 percent should usually last for at least a couple minutes.

Highly recommend, worth the money, thoughtfully designed
This is an awesome product and thoughtfully made. Package comes exactly as described. In fact, I wasn't expecting it to come with the two sets of cords (USB charger and an aux cord). It was smaller than expected, slightly smaller than my Samsung S5. It makes it easier to stow away, so no complaints there.-- Radio: After cranking it for 100 seconds, it has played 3 songs and an entire commercial set on the radio. As I am writing this, the little radio is still playing. The sound is crystal clear. The tuner is sensitive enough to locate a station. The dials are cleverly set in to the case so that you don't turn them by accident. The antenna is adjustable.-- Light: VERY bright. Description says 50 Lumens. The light is bright enough that it's painful to shine in my eyes. However, the light refraction is meant for long distances, which will be more useful for hiking through the dark than for up-close applications (like starting a fire). The light cone looks like a bullseye, darkness, and one ring of light around it.-- Battery life: Excellent. 100s of cranking powered over 7 minutes of radio. Also, when the device is charging, a red light comes on indicating that the battery is receiving a charge. The ambient light from my bedroom is enough to charge the solar panel.Overview: This is worth the money, and then some. The case is solid, durable, and compact enough that it can be carried virtually anywhere. Battery life is excellent, radio is crystal clear, and the light is decent enough that I would use this hiking, camping, or in an emergency bag. I highly recommend.

Simple and basic, but you will be glad you have it if you need it in an emergency
Charged easily and quickly with solar and USB. Crank charge is a nice feature to have if that is all that is available. It charged my phone to full in about two hours and I was at 40%. That was actually impressive. Not stereo sound quality, but it had all the essentials. Several local weather stations with up to date info and radio was just ok. Glad to have it in a pinch and actually lost power after a storm two weeks after I purchased it and it proved itself. I was glad to have it. I did not expect much when I bought it, but it was great to have on hand in a power outage. Good value for the money. Very basic device.

Seems good out of the box
5 stars so far with very basic testing, radio works well, it charges my dead phone in about 2 hours. Crank works well. Flash light seems pretty bright. Will test out durability over the next 20ish days while camping.

Nice quality, has essential functions -& now I ALWAYS have NOAA & a phone charger!
I bought two of these- one orange, one silver. One is for me & my car; the other for a friend who is remodeling a rural farmhouse. NOAA weather access can be pretty important, as are the abilities to have hand crank power & USB charging.This device has AM, FM,& weather band (NOAA), an LED flashlight, a hand crank, a solar panel (!) with an indicator light, USB & mini ports, an antenna & a wrist strap.If not used for 60 days/or on first time use- you initialize it by cranking it for 3-5 minutes, or leave in sunlight for 10+ hours. Not a big deal- I initialized both units while watching TV.The sound quality is consistent with price - I wasn't expecting a Grundig quality sound, but it is clear enough (though extension & direction of the antenna is required).Happy to have this device, & am certain that it will be appreciated by the gift recipient, too.

Very very handy.
Perfect little radio. I use it to distract predators from my chicken coop. Works perfectly.

Arrived Broken - BOTH of Them
I bought one of these and it arrived broken. The radio dial didn't work. So, I returned it and bought another. Again, I opened it promptly, and was happy the radio worked. I then tested the crank. One crank and it fell right off. Something was rattling inside the unit before I tried it, which was suspicious. I tried to reset the crank and give it a whirl again. Nope, nada. Returned it for a refund.

I like it
Although it says it charges phones it doesn’t. I have 6 of these and I’ve sat them in the sun for hours to charge them and also hand cranked it to try to charge my iPhone 7. Overall I love this product. It’s for emergency use it has Wideband radio which is pretty neat, a flashlight which is bright, and is light weight. I love the solar aspect of it but it doesn’t seem to hold a charge for an extended period of time unless it’s still bright out and catching sun rays. I love how it is also hand-crank to power it. Most emergency flashlights were only hand crank so it’s nice to know if you run out of solar power you also have this option.
