From its solar-powered capabilities to its SOS function, this radio has your back when nature decides to throw a tantrum. Whether you’re camping, prepping for a storm, or just want some extra peace of mind, this radio is your trusty sidekick. PROS: • Multiple power options: It’s like the Swiss army knife of radios, solar power, hand crank, USB charging, and AC. Whatever disaster strikes, you’ll stay powered up. • SOS feature: If things really go sideways, the SOS alarm will let everyone know you need help. It’s the ultimate “Hey, I’m here!” button. • Built-in phone charger: If your phone is running low on battery and you’re not near an outlet, no worries, this radio doubles as a phone charger. • Emergency light & flashlight: The built-in flashlight is perfect for when you need to light up your path, while the reading lamp keeps your evening cozy (without the need for candles). • Clear audio & versatility: AM/FM, shortwave, NOAA, it’s got it all, so you can stay in the know, no matter what you’re into. CONS: • Hand crank might take a bit of effort: While the hand crank works great, if you’re trying to get a full charge, you might be working up a bit of a sweat. Good news, though, you’ll be too busy surviving to care. • Not the most compact: While portable, it’s not exactly something you can throw in your pocket. It’s better for your backpack or emergency kit. • Volume level can be a bit quiet: The speaker works fine, but if you’re in a noisy environment, you might have to crank it up a little more than you’d expect. • Limited radio range: While it can pick up a variety of stations, the shortwave reception might not be perfect depending on your location. Overall, the Auto NOAA Digital 5000 Weather Radio is a fantastic tool for anyone looking to stay prepared. Whether it’s a storm, power outage, or a random camping trip, you’ll have everything you need in one device. Plus, it’s practically a lifeline during an emergency, just add some snacks and you’re ready to weather the storm.

Wasn't there for me when needed. Stay away. I bought this radio last October in anticipation of winter power outages in Vermont. I charged it up fully and tested it for a few days. Everything worked well. I set it aside on a windowsill with the small solar panel facing south in order to keep the battery charged. When a recent power outage happened, I had to push the "power" button at least 20 times to turn it on. Then struggled to get the local radio station. Finally, I could not turn the thing off, regardless of how many times I pushed the power button. My finger was numb by the time I was able to shut this radio off. I then tried to start it and experienced the same problem. I am no longer counting on this thing to be there for me in an emergency. You best look elsewhere. Important Update: After posting my initial negative review I emailed the company's customer service department. Surprise! I heard back a day later with suggestions about how to reset the radio's inner system. In addition, they offered either to replace the radio at no cost to me, or refund the purchase price. Amazing!!! So, I followed the simple step to reset the radio, and I have tested it repeatedly each day for several days. Everything works as advertised. For the price, this radio is a good deal. For the customer service, it is a great deal. 5 stars.

The CR1009Pro does and has basically all the things you could cram into an emergency radio like this. Except USB-C. Shortwave radio, a headphone jack, a 5000mAh battery, 3xAAA battery backup, a nylon carrying handle, a replaceable battery and a digital radio tuner may be difficult to find on other radios, especially in combination. And it has a backlit LCD display that shows battery level, frequency, time and whatever else. Has a flashlight at the front with a low/high mode, and a reading light at the top, also with a low/high mode. They're decent enough. Same goes for the speaker. This is for listening to the radio, not throwing a hootenanny and/or shindig. It of course also has AM and FM radio, a solar panel and crank for emergency power, and a USB out for charging stuff. And an SOS button that makes a red light at the front flash and the speaker emit an annoying noise. Has NOAA WX weather radio alert stuff, which I presume can be useful for people in the US. The antenna is about 24cm. Could probably be longer to increase the chance of better reception. Reception under circumstances beyond just sitting in my home, is not something I've tested, but I'm not too confident. Seems kind of touchy, but it might be fine. One thing I've found to be questionable is how well the included battery holds a charge. Don't know if this is normal for this type of battery (2170 li-ion), but I charged the thing fully, put it in a closet for around 7 months, and now it's completely dead. Seems like unwanted behavior for a product like this. I missed or forgot this information, but noticed now that the manual implies that with power off, the battery will gradually discharge until completely empty and puts that number at 6500 hours. Don't know when exactly my battery got depleted, but I took it out of the closet at roughly 5000 hours. So do keep in mind that you can't just put this radio in storage and expect it to be ready, you will need to occasionally check up on the battery and charge as necessary. I'd want to do that maybe once every two months. And it does not seem to want to turn on with only the 3xAAA backup. Tried putting in fresh batteries and nothing. Either the backup in my radio is busted or it can only switch to it if the radio is on when the main battery runs out. Maybe an area that could be improved in a future revision. UPDATE: Roughly a month after charging it until it told me it was fully charged, I turned it on to check the battery level and it's now down to 3 bars.

This emergency radio is a great item to have at home, especially during power outages. The sound is clear and it’s easy to tune into stations. I like that it has multiple charging options, which makes it very practical. It feels sturdy and well made. Definitely a smart purchase for emergencies

Love it. I get good reception and great battery life.

I purchased this radio for our office as we frequently experience power outages due to heavy storms including hurricanes and tornadoes. This is probably the best buy I have ever made; easy to use (after reading the pamphlet/instructions for EVERYTHING it can do!) and well made.

I bought this radio after a twister came through our place last year. I now receive alerts on this radio before my phone or my other Wx radio. If you are traveling it will search out the frequency needed for the area you are at. It has many useful features such as 5 separate power supplies, an S.O.S. mode and two different lights. Check it out. I think you will be impressed.

This radio does a lot of very useful things, but not the one thing I bought it for - shortwave radio. I was shocked to see a single band covering from 7 to 19 mHz - pretty much the entire shortwave frequency range - and the tiny knob only takes 3/4 of a turn to tune across the entire band. Needless to say, it's impossible to settle it on a single radio station. That turns out not to be a problem, though, since in three days of trying I was unable to pick up even the hint of a signal on the shortwave band. I love the power flexibility, the ability to charge other devices, the lighting options, even the crank for dire emergencies. Unfortunately I will not be keeping this long enough to find out. It even sounds good when I tune in FM stations. But I bought this as a shortwave radio, and it is absolutely not one. The band is purely there for decoration, or to check a box. Returning.

Following the fires, in Australia, I wasn't going to get caught out without a radio of phone changer. This product meets the bill. While the quality of reception is not premium it is still usable. It will be one of those handy devices that I have in the cupboard.
