About FosPower Emergency Solar Hand Crank Portable Radio
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
85% liked the long-lasting battery life, while 15% experienced short battery life
The battery life is really good, especially when the volume is not at its maximum.
This weather radio has a battery life of 81 hours on low/med volume, enough to run for 8 hours a day for 10 straight days in an emergency.
The battery life lasts throughout the day with periodic use averaging 5 or 6 hours a day.
The battery life is very poor. I charged it fully for 8 hours in the sun and added batteries, but it died after just 10 minutes of use at the beach. It wouldn't even charge my phone more than 1%.

92% praised for its rugged design, but 8% experienced broken parts
The durability of the weather-radio is yet to be seen, but it has 6 times better battery power than the previous models.
I appreciate the variety of charging options in the radio, especially for outdoor enthusiasts without access to an outlet at all times.
The weather radio is durable and can be recharged from the sun or car charger. It also receives several stations.
I will update my review after using the product for a year or so to give feedback on durability.

91% found the interface easy to use
The radio is easy to use and can be powered by hand-crank or AAA batteries.
I can easily charge the device by setting it in the sun or by using the hand crank, making it more convenient than my regular external phone charger.
79% praised for its strong signal reception, while 21% experienced poor reception
The radio reception is a bit weak due to small speakers and antenna, but I was able to tune into my local NOAA weather station and stronger FM stations.
During a severe weather event, there was no signal for radio, not even a crackle on any of the options.
77% praised for its loud and clear sound, but 23% experienced poor audio quality
With the RunningSnail, I noticed better quality radio sound and brighter light illumination.
The sound quality is a bit tinny, but it's acceptable since it's an emergency radio.
The sound quality is average for a small, inexpensive radio, but the weather band is loud and clear.
The speaker quality is the only negative aspect of the item.
