About RunningSnail Emergency Hand Crank Self Powered AM/FM NOAA Solar Weather Radio
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
89% liked the long-lasting battery life, while 11% experienced short battery life
I found that the battery life of the radio and flashlight is pretty long. The radio plays for about 20 hours until the battery is drained and the flashlight lasts nearly all night if both are used together.
I am unsure about the battery life of the weather radio. It did not hold a charge for more than 4 minutes.
The battery life is short.
91% praised for its rugged design, but 9% experienced broken parts
The plastic body feels very durable. I wouldn't think twice if I drop it.
I expected the product to be rugged and durable, but it turned out to be the opposite.
The product is not useful for emergencies that happen a couple of years after purchase, as the batteries lose their ability to hold a charge.
After a year, the battery cannot be charged and is not easily replaceable.
93% found the interface easy to use
The radio is clear and loud.
93% liked its compact and lightweight design
The weather radio is portable and can be carried around during emergencies.
The device is suitable for survival and outdoor experiences as it comes with a solar charger and hand crank.
89% praised for its strong signal reception
I stayed updated on the storm's activity with an occasional crank of the radio's generator.
The reception is great across all 3 bands. We will continue to test it as we sail north and south along the US east coast.
I compared the Running Snails radio with another similar radio in a dark room and found its light to be much stronger.
90% praised for its loud and clear sound, but 10% experienced poor audio quality
The sound quality of this weather radio is more than adequate and comparable to the Midland ER210.
The sound quality is excellent, even for the weather band which is usually pretty bad. It is especially impressive for this size radio/speakers.
My husband and I love everything about it and we're excited to use it at the community pool. I appreciate not having to worry about batteries and am especially pleased with the solar powered aspect of the radio.
I find the radio quality extremely poor.
