MIDLAND HH50 Pocket Weather Radio

Small and lightweight. Autoscan worked well and immediately went to weather station which gave local weather report.Volume control increased sound to nice level. Very good sound quality for small unit.Alert option nice extra. Easy to use. Worked better than my larger weather radio w/o autoscan.

We live in an area where we need storm information. I'm very happy that the stations are clear and the weather information is precise.

We ordered this radio prior to our six week road trip from California to Georgia and back this late spring. We not only used it in the truck when there were no radio station signals to warn of impending weather, but also in our travel trailer at night. More than once we were alerted to a tornado warning (Texas & Louisiana) and severe weather warning (Georgia). It saved us from damage when we were alerted to a severe hailstorm and high wind warning one afternoon and got our awning down just in time, others were not as lucky. Great product!

For anyone looking for a small weather radio, this is the best I have ever seen. It is smaller than a cell phone, easy to carry, has adjustable sound, and does what is advertises.

I recommend it highly for anyone looking for this type of device.

I had high hopes for this based on other reviews. I was looking for a small weather alert radio for camping with the Boy Scouts so we could be alerted to thunderstorms. Out of the package, this radio did not work....if you jiggled the power switch enough, you might hear NOAA broadcasts for a couple of minutes, then it would die again. The alert function never worked with a severe storm aproaching.
