Eton FR300 Emergency Crank Radio

it works, weather comes in good.(cheap weather radios don't get it at all!) The crank system works well. I'm happy.

My husband wore out my old crank radio (cheap) and wanted the same type in a new purchase. After viewing several makes, we decided on the Eton metallic red color. He loves it, and I am comforted by the crank feature knowing if we are without power or batteries are low, we can still access information!

i bought the eton fr 300 to keep on standby in case of power outages. i have used this model quite a bit since i received it to test the reliability. it has a nice large speaker with excellent sound. the radio and weather stations all work well, the tuner is on the money. the light works good but would be better if it had a couple more led bulbs. the brightness is good but could be a little brighter. the crank feels sturdy. overall, this is a great radio that i would trust in case of an emergency.

It gets great reception & I use it all the time outside. I keep one in the trunk of each car in the emergency pack.

GREAT RADIO. LITHIUM BATTERY ALOT BETTER THAN STRAIGHT CRANK AS WITH OTHER MODLES. WE TAKE RADIO CAMPING, GREAT RECEPTION NO PROBLEMS. PHONE CHARGER NOT REALY INTENDED TO CHARGE PHONE, AT LEAST NOT PRACTICAL WAY. YOU COULD BE CRANKING FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND NOT GET MUCH CHARGE. THAT IS THE ONLY DOWNSIDE TO RADIO. OTHER THAN THAT, EXCELLENT. STRONGLY RECOMMEND.
