About C. Crane CC Pocket AM FM and NOAA Weather Radio with Clock and Sleep Timer
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
82% liked the long-lasting battery life
The battery life of this weather radio is very good, with around 80 hours of use using earphones.
The battery life is prodigious and I have yet to see the original battery charge show any sign of depletion.
82% praised for its rugged design, but 18% experienced broken parts
After 7 weeks of minimal usage, the battery gauge is still full.
The radio is durable and can withstand mountain hikes, high heat, and getting dropped.
I faced the same issue with two of these radios. To avoid any mishap, I advise securing the radio in a closed pouch as the belt clip does not grab. On the first day of owning this radio, it slipped off my belt while walking in the office, cracking the display and rendering it useless.
On fresh Duracell batteries, the radio only gets 4-6 hours of use even with Weather Alert turned off and the radio locked when not in use.
86% found the interface easy to use
I found the radio easy to use and intuitive, although there were some not-so-intuitive options listed on a label inside the battery door cover.
The radio is easy to use and well thought out by CC radio. I can quickly set the station by a touch of a button or change it the same way.
I find the radio easy to use and get access to more channels, even distant ones, than ever before.
90% liked its compact and lightweight design
The device has a nice look and is portable with a comfortable hand hold.
The radio fits well in an ordinary shirt pocket and stays in due to its weight.
I have found that this pocket radio is better than any other I have owned in terms of pulling in weaker stations.
83% praised for its strong signal reception
I consistently have a clear signal except in elevator shafts and in the basement. Even in those locations, I can hear the program if I am willing to put up with a little static.
86% praised for its loud and clear sound, but 14% experienced poor audio quality
The sound quality of this weather radio is impressive when using the included earbuds, which are much better than usual free buds.
I can easily hear the sound from the speaker in my 10x12 office at 1/4 level.
I have complained about the speaker's poor quality, sounding like a transistor radio from 1960.
