RunningSnail Hand Crank Radio with Flashlight, NOAA/AM/FM Emergency Radio

Very pleased with radio. Will use for emergency/off grid. Found my local weather band and am/fm stations easily. Went through all the function and preform well. Manual states on full charge will deliver 9-10 hrs radio / 15-17 hours on flash light. The manual said radio hours may vary depending on the volume of sound used. 18 month replacement warranty. 30 day money back guarantee. Lifetime support guarantee. ([email protected]) Removable battery is a 3.7V 2000mah 18650 Li-ion. Manual also stated every few months battery should be recharged to help with life of battery. I added a photo of actual battery that I removed. I was very easy to remove and replace. Just two small philips screws from plate. Weight is very light at only about 1/2 pound. Size is compact at about 5 in. X 2 in. X 2 1/4 in. I was very surprised on quality and could hear weather report clearly on high at about 20 feet away. 1. Charged my phone by plugging in my charger cord from radio. Good for emergency power if needed. Will keep one in truck and in my outing gear. Manual states not to be used as a normal power bank. I figured it will be good when or if you are in a pinch. Cord supplied with radio is micro usb NOT type "C". Comes with micro usb x "I-phone" adapter included. My phone uses an android with a type "C" input so I used my own power cord. 2. Charged radio from a/c micro usb cord supplied with radio from my own a/c adapter. Only wished it would charge from type "C" and not micro usb is about the only negative I have with radio. Manual states it takes about 3 1/2 hrs to fully charge and it took a lil over 4 hrs when I did it. 3. Solar showed charging when placed even in very little light. In manual it states solar charging is difficult for full charging but for battery maintaining. Manual states solar panel life is 25 years when used 6 hrs. per day. Might need a new one in my lifetime lol. 4. Hand crank is easy to turn and showed charging while I was winding. Manual says 3-5 mins for intial use and wind 130 - 150 rpm for power to be generated. Says 7 hrs. Winding for full charge lol. Good news is 1 min winding 3-5 mins of radio and 45 - 60 mins of light. So there's that. A good price for about $16 it is a no brainier to have one or even 2 on hand (truck, home, cabin, camping/hiking, boat ect.) Hope this review helps. Added some photos from manual that it came with radio. I did add photos of manual to this review as well.

Love it! Can't believe something so small and inexpensive works so well . Holds a charge for hours after sitting in the sun Plus it has two sides with USB ports as a second method. 3rd is a hand crank , turns easily, but it does take a long time to recharge if that's all can you have in an emergency.. Good quality audio which is amazing but esp good having weather band. Even being so small, the flashlight is pretty good. (Photo in a dark closet. )Compact, great backpack size. More than worth the money and would be a thoughtful small gift.

For some time, I've been looking for a reasonably durable emergency radio with multiple charging/power options. Using the crank to "wind up" a radio can be fun in non-emergency situations. This unit is certainly smaller than most, definitely compact enough (and without lots of small pieces) to be transported without damaging it. Built-in rechargeable battery is a convenient feature, as long as you don't misplace the included USB charging cable. There's no need to buy replaceable batteries, which other (larger) models do use as another powering option, but this one wouldn't even have space for. Besides plugging in, there's a small solar panel and the crank. Both likely useful in a pinch, but I suspect you'll get more and longer-lasting juice out of the unit by plugging it between uses where possible. In the long term, it will be interesting to see how the battery lasts. The controls are simple and easy to use. Given the size and price range, I'm pleased with both the physical sturdiness and the functioning of the unit. For such a small speaker, sound is very clear and, at appropriate volume, can be heard from a good distance away. It seems to pick up signals better--or, more precisely, with a longer, stronger range-- than my larger, non-emergency radio, particularly on the FM frequency where I do most of my dialing. I live in an area where reception can be difficult, so it's a delight to get in favorite stations that are further away. The only other feature is the flashlight, which is ideal for emergencies. Larger, more expensive models sometimes have other features. You'll have to look elsewhere for more bells and whistles, but I can wholeheartedly recommend this model to those looking for a compact, economical yet functional emergency radio.

I like this thing even if my husband says it's cheap. Others have said all they hear is static but I've picked up weather forecasts on mine. It is small but I wanted small for our van since we don't have a lot of storage space. Haven't had it long and hopefully don't have to use often but I like that you can crank it in an emergency to get light and hopefully weather report if needed while camping or during a storm.

Great Emergency Radio for the Price - 5 Stars! I recently picked up this emergency hand crank radio, and for just $15, I’m genuinely impressed with the quality and functionality. This compact little device offers several charging options: it can be powered by the built-in solar panels, a USB-C cable, or the hand crank—perfect for emergencies when you can't rely on standard power sources. The ability to partially charge a smartphone (about 25%) is a handy bonus, especially in situations where staying connected is crucial. The radio itself is solid for the price. It picks up AM, FM, and NOAA Weather stations clearly, ensuring you’ll have access to important updates during a power outage or emergency situation. The speaker volume and sound quality are adequate for an emergency context, so you won't miss any critical broadcasts. The flashlight feature is another plus—at around 80 lumens, it’s bright enough to light your way in the dark or signal for help if needed. The radio is also small and lightweight, easily fitting in the palm of your hand, making it convenient to store in your car, house, or emergency kit. Overall, this emergency radio offers excellent value for the price. It’s a reliable, multifunctional tool that’s perfect to have on hand for unexpected situations. Five stars for the overall bang for your buck!

After recently having a fluke snow storm in an area that doesn't get snow but maybe a little flurry once every few years, that downed thousands of trees and power lines and left some folks with no power for almost six days ( I was one of the lucky ones who only went 1 day without), it was a difficult reminder to be prepared. I fortunately had a full tank of gas in my snowbound car lol and that's where I had to warm up and charge my phone. I have had a crank radio and flashlight in the past and had been wondering if there was such a thing as a crank phone charger, as I was skeptical as to how well a solar charger would work on dark stormy days with minimal sunlight. Then low and behold this nifty gizmo popped up and it is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I imagined it to be this big bulky thing but as you can see from the photo I included it's next to my computer mouse. People have to remember this is a manual crank device and the instruction booklet says 3-5 minutes of cranking will fully charge the device. That does make your arm tired pretty quickly but this is ok as far as I'm concerned because it is better than NO flashlight radio, and charger. As for how it works: Radio: I opened cranked the handle a few times and tried the radio...It works! Flashlight: I cranked the handle maybe for 15 seconds and turned the flashlight on....It works! ' It's a very bright LED light and I just left it on facing the wall while we watched tv. It never dimmed at all and after about 2.5 hours I went to bed and had to turn it off. SO it stayed on all that time with just that little bit of cranking. Phone Charger: I cranked the handle 20 times (I counted Lol) and plugged my phone in....It works! At 73% My phone made the tell tale beep of when you plug a charger cord into it and after about 10 minutes my phone had charged up about 6%. At 73% it says roughly 59 min until fully charged. I imagine if I cranked the unit until it was fully charged, it will charge the phone more. SO, it is slower than a wall charger, but THAT IS OK to me. It has just proved itself that is works in all aspects and I am satisfied that I have a new tool to help myself survive and emergency. OH and there is also a solar panel on the top of the unit that also charges the battery in the unit. This little thing seems totally worth the very affordable price.

I feel confident that I have this I'm happy and grateful that I have this I've used the radio I could turn the radio on with the crank I keep the product in my dashboard in my car so that it can charge I tried to charge my phone with it it didn't work but I'm going to try it again I do recommend it if only for the radio because you can wind it up and you don't need solar power for that but even without winding it up the radio works from the solar panel so it is still a good option for emergency situations it's portable it's just about the size of your cell phone if a little bit bigger yes recommended

You get what you pay for. It is definitely functional, but it seems to be cheaply built, so I question durability in an emergency situation. It will work in a pinch, but for how long? Good first step I guess.

It's a very handy flashlight. I like the radio feature, it's got nice dials that don't feel cheap, they're loud and pick up radio frequencies well. The flashlight has narrow coverage but concentrated field of view that can shine far. It will fully charge within 3 hours of charging it. I also like how it lets you charge the light with a hand crank and solar panels. It's a solid purchase and I think it could come in handy when things go south.

Entrega rápida, bem fácil de usar. Muito útil!

Good product, fast delivery A+

It is a sturdy product with good light and radio. Solar and hand crank charging too is quite effective. Further, the inbuilt battery gives around full day of radio functioning. The radio has manual tuning which needs patience to tune it. Sound quality of radio is good. The only problem is that there is no third NOAA weather band. The AM/ FM band switch is not of good quality and is difficult to switch over. Further, the torch light switch is very sensitive and the torch gets activated accidentally at times. Over all the item seems to be of good quality Chinese one. There is no name or item desription on the item except on the card poard packing box.

Hoping I never need this, but living rurally, it’s an important tool to have in an emergency
