Actually, a little better quality than expected for the money. USB jacks are snug, a good indicator of overall build quality. Multiple charging options, beefy case, large battery capacity, good reception... strong overall buy.

Appears to be well built. Reception is average and the real test for me is battery use/life. So time will tell.

This unit works well as an emergency radio and a potential recharge platform. I have not checked the solar capabilities, but it picked up sunlight on a window sill and was charging in it's own. It arrived charged and performed flawlessly in a few tests. Radio quality I thought was good, I'm not expecting "Concert Sound", but functioned fine. It was discounted when I purchased it and seems like an excellent value.

I live in a rural area, so when a winter storm takes out the power, this is perfect! I haven't had to use the crank because I keep it charged. It's a decent radio, great room light since the LEDs put out a LOT of light. Easy to change through USB. Small yet effective. Lightweight, but we'll made. I am happy with this purchase.

Everything functions properly. Note that the flashlight has a narrow beam but is bright and functional.The Manual Tuner: After returning a competitor's model with a digital tuner (12,000 mAh) that would not pick up AM stations, I was pleased when this unit picked up 3 AM stations from about 170 miles away (during the day). Although AM is out of favor, the signals carry long distances. When the power goes out, I want information. No AM reception could make that problematic.It seems that a manual tuner allows you to tune in very weak signals whereas the automatic digital tuner requires a strong signal to lock-in stations and screens out all else. Not good. IMO, picking up local FM is nice; but, a serious emergency is likely to knock out power to at least the local area, and likely for some distance. FM stations may be off-air, blocked by terrain, or too far away.The tuner dial back-light works well.The one desirable feature this unit does not have is shortwave reception. My next one will have that. Thus, I gave 4 stars (and almost gave 5).The option to use AAA batteries is great. Similar radios of this type often lack that. Cranking is a pain and the solar panel would take many hours, and maybe days, to charge the 10K mAh battery. As the directions explain, the solar is primarily to maintain the internal battery, not to act as a robust solar charger. This radio's primary charging method is USB. AAA batteries, however, can be used instead if needed, and can be stored as part of preparation.The ear phone jack is essential. It allows battery conservation (unless you use wireless) and provides quiet for others.Conclusion: Recommended.
