Portable DAB/FM Radio with 5000mAh Rechargeable Battery, Hand Crank Solar Outdoor Digital DAB+ Radio with USB Charger, Emergency SOS Alarm, Headphone Jack, Alarm Clock, Flashlight & Reading Light

The included hand-crank like in any product is meant only to supply light and SOS (it'd be foolish to think a battery bar would appear on 5k mAh hehe). It's got an astonishing HD Sound which via DRC (compression rate) can be enhanced slightly. The main thing is, it's got USB-C and not micro-usb luckily! USB-C is so much more lasting and easier to use as well as universal now. I'd have liked it if there was a third option of the reading light, as the reading light is quite strong still on the lowest setting, however the far-light torches are perfectly fine (though beware they use more energy). The strap is a bit fiddly and short, however due to the robust manufacturing quality, it can be replaced by your own, even a shoulder strap if you like, though a good enough carabiner is included. The SOS includes red light and siren sound, though to my liking not nearly loud enough to blast through say Russian shelling. As with any good Emergency Radio, this one has a very realistic balanced bass, however the treble is kept very volatile and shrill on purpose, as it needs to carry the clear voices over distant and rocky terrain. Sadly in order to achieve a better IPX rating, I'd say the silicone port cover is a 2.5/5 at best, it buoys out because for one there is no plug for the headphone jack, and for another there USB-C is melded with the outer rectangle and has nigh nil depth, though realistically like any emergency radio, it wouldn't survive a torrent anyway. What I also love is it's ruggedness overall, I mean you could really hold this thing very well in hand while hand-cranking for LEDs or SOS, as it ridges angles and a solid base. And the most important on ruggedness over all is, it's buttons are recessed silicone push-buttons, so nothing sticking out that could get caught or broken off or even rust. I really like that nice touch as well with the reading light being slightly looser yet still sturdy, such that in emergencies a kid could operate the light. Judging by the screws and holes on it, I'd imagine quite a moderate repairability. This leads me into the absolute main banger point on this device, the ability for it to be run on AAA batteries, as these I'd imagine in a European catastrophe will be more in supply than custom chargers or custom batteries, and even more useful should say a certain dust-cloud make an appearance, blocking all sunlight. Speaking of which, I was not yet able to test the solar panel, however I had some experience with a similar, albeit FM radio, manufacturer, and as the manual states it should generate 30 mAh per hour of sunlight vs. 300 mAh handcranked (BUT for an entire hour!), and to put this into perspective, a usual singular AAA battery usual holds the exact same amount, and you'd need 3x of these to power this radio. Hence 10h in direct sunlight charges the radio 1/2 way (as it's internal rechargeable battery is 6000 mAh). Now the consumption itself isn't bad, at full volume on DAB+ with adjusting settings and playing around with the lights a mid amount, it used up 3 out of 10 full battery BARS per 3.5h continuously running operation, quite a respect-worthy outcome I must say. Now to an even better contribution of my keen eye, the antenna is in fact even so repairable, that it can simply be replaced with a generic one by screwing the axle out with a Philips screwdriver. The antenna itself is quite sturdy though. Actually the entire metal pipe, even down to into the device, can be screwed open and taken apart for replacement, so really even if it had rusted / broken that far down. The AAA battery compartment contacts can also easily be shifted up and outwards and easily replaced in case of rust. The LCD screen and light covers are all of sturdy plastic, so no worries about shattering, however the solar panel strip is obviously glass, but it looks and feel very very solid, plus it's protected by the strap itself from shattering. Key buttons are labelled, however my colour-way of black, is less readable on the LED switches nor on the reading light compartment, however there is indented symbols / writing on each respectively. If it were to be pitch-black, you can feel all the indentations on every single button easily (even the battery compartment), so it's good enough for blind people too, for operability especially considering that the entire controller side is framed entirely by very distinctly feelable ridges. In fact, the carabiner loops perfectly through the sturdy rail loops, so you could hang it on the ceiling / higher point and let it dangle with the cone of light for map reading or such, if you were to be caved in somewhere. Speaking of antenna and its reception, it is conal I think, meaning the angle to the outside (be it through a kitchen or bedroom window vs object blocking or other wireless signals e.g. your phone or WiFi), is the key. The overall construction seems sturdy enough to withstand quite high and frequent falls. In terms of accessibility I have also tested hand-cranking it pressed to the ground cranking with one hand, and it worked well. With fast running I could not discern any rattling, and everything is flush enough to be packed away neatly. For me personally this was an absolutely solid choice, I feel well taken care of and am assured enough to feel protected.

Brilliant piece of kit for our camping trips. Very solid design and a good sound. The torch and reading lamp are a welcome addition. Charge via USB, solar or wind up. Also AA batteries. Power bank will be used to charge our phones while camping with no electric hook up.

A decent little DAB radio , I use it daily , plus it’s a useful thing to have around in a power cut . Mine resides in the kitchen where it sits on the windowsill and the solar panel charges it reasonably well ,however , it is quite flimsy and wouldn’t take it outdoors . Am pleased I bought it . But it is UGLY .

Been using the radio for a few weeks. I like the sound quality, well good enough for me. I’ve mainly been using DAB rather than FM. Connects well provided signal is good enough. I appreciate its chunky, solid construction but the radio is not too big (as I wanted). Useful carrying handle. The light & ‘reading lamp’ work fine but are more for use when other systems/kit not available, as I intended. I’m not as young as I was so the clarity/size of station identification is helpful & easy to read. The ‘press button’ controls are a nice size work well. I hope they maintain their robustness for if anything these could be the weakest link. Battery life I think is acceptable but certainly supplement with conventional batteries too. Recharge time perhaps a bit slow but I tend to charge overnight so no drama. Took a bit of time getting use to the operation, so the instructions are very useful. Quickly becomes intuitive for the processes one does most often e.g. changing to different stored stations. Guess I’ll need to refer back to instructions to remind myself of how to use other functions. Very pleased with the purchase.

I bought this Radio in May 2025 and I love it! Luckily we haven’t had a power cut since purchasing this but I used it daily in the garden in the summer I was only using the radio function and the battery seemed to last well, as long as you turn it off properly! Make sure there is no red light showing The DAB radio reception seems fine with using the arial, some black spots in my garden where there seemed to dip out of signal The lights function is great, would be great if you were camping or in a power cut The control buttons are easy to use I’ve not had another radio like this before so not 100% sure if it’s value for money, but I’m liking it so far

So much potential for the price but so little delivered! Instructions a bit minimal and quite clunky to setup. However, it found no stations on DAB despite numerous rescans, and only two very crackly unlistenable stations on FM. DAB coverage in the house absolutely fine on other devices. Torch seemed to work ok as did the siren. Can't comment on much else as it got returned.

voelt en ziet er degelijk uit. Geluid is ook mooi voor zo'n klein radiootje. Hopelijk hoeven hem nooit noodgedwongen gaan gebruiken.

Funktioniert wie beschrieben und macht einen guten Eindruck. Schnell einsetzbar, intuitiv bedienbar. Klang ist "sehr klar". Wer Bass benötigt: Finger weg! Schönes kleines Radio das ein paar nützliche Dinge hat, die einem Outdoorfan begeistern können.

Achat dans le cadre d'un kit de survie en cas de coupure de courant, désastre climatique, ...etc. Je cherchais une petite radio indépendante sur le plan énergatique. Nombreuses sources d'alimentation (piles / batterie rechargeable / mini panneau solaire (pas testé) / manivelle). Je n'ai même pas lu le manuel. Je l'ai allumé. Il ne trouvait pas les stations allemandes (normal). J'ai enfoncé le bouton SCAN et il a scanné pendant 20 secondes. Ensuite j'ai fait défilé les stations belges avec le bouton TUNE. J'ai pris "LA 1ère" et enfoncé ENTER. Là j'ai été bluffé par la qualité sonore. Pas de vibrations désagréables au niveau du haut parleur, rien qu'une voix claire. Je recommande cet achat. J'ai également acheté l'étui rigide de protection.

Até agora parece ser um excelente rádio. Comprei por causa do apagão que aconteceu em Portugal e Espanha, mas também é ótimo para campismo. Funciona a pilhas, a carregamento à manivela e carregamento solar, ainda nem coloquei pilhas. O som é bom, tem alarme, tem sinal de aviso SOS bastante alto e luz de diversas intensidades. Apesar de ser um rádio caro, acho que compensa o preço.

Peu de recul mais un ensemble sérieux et fait pour l'autonomie.
