    This radio works very well. The flashlight is bright. The crank is easy to use. It's very solid. I can charge this radio with my USB charger. I've not had the chance to test the solar feature yet and I've not had to use it in an emergency situation but I feel pretty good that I have this radio in case of an emergency.

    This is a great addition to my bug out pack and one for every vehicle. Small and light, but seems to be sturdy and well made. Cranked it for 3 minutes and had Noa radio and flashlight immediately. Set it out in the sun and the led showed charging right away. This is a great product for a very low price point.

    I have an old, oversize cell phone belt pouch that I was able to fit this radio in. I couldn't believe how small and compact this unit is. It works very well. I can always find a good weather station anywhere I am and the phone charger worked well too after I charged it and activated the battery with a few minutes of hand cranking. Nice! I bought an extra one for my dad who loves camping as well.

    This was NOT A GOOD product. The radio work only 1 time since I purchased it in July-2015 and not the RADIO DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!!!! Also, I left the flashlight under the sun ALL DAY and the SOLAR DOES NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY AT ALL FOR THE FLASHLIGHT. However, when I use the hand crank, the battery will charge and the flashlight work ok. I would NOT RECOMMEND this product!!!
