My review is based on using this when camping / backpacking. Two features that I required were size / weight and the radio using an 18650 battery. This radio is 10.5 ounces, which is a little heavier than some other radios of this size, but the build quality is very good. The size is 6.5" x 1.875" x 2.75". Great size for backpacking. It has a micro usb input for charging - you can either use a computer, a wall plug, a battery bank or a solar charger to charge it. Once charged, leaving it near a window will keep it fully charged. That is really all the solar panel is for, I don't know if it would ever fully charge the battery. The reception is good on all three bands. The audio quality is not great, however, it does have a 3.5 mm audio jack. I use it to connect a good bluetooth speaker if using for listening to music. While it does use an 18650 battery, it has a plug on it to connect to the radio, so you can't use just any 18650 battery. I will modify my radio so that it will use any 18650 battery. There are videos on YoutTube showing how to do this. So for emergency use and for backpacking, this is a great radio for me. Read full review

can't get full charge with solar charging – couple of months in sun room window – doesn't provide sufficient charging to keep up with hearing aid daily usage on canoe trip – solar charger is more of a gimmick than a practical feature

Glad I decided to get this radio. It sounds an alarm even when it is off whenever there is an emergency alert so I can turn it on and hear the warning. Works great and super easy to use! Its also small and compact. Great reception. Flash light also works great! I love this radio! I am buying another for my dad! I definitely recommend this product!

Great radio for the size. You will not get ground shaking bass and glass shattering highs from a 4 inch radio, but you will get clear sound. I was surprised how clear the sound was...not 'tinny' or 'canned' at all. Also the solar works great while the radio sits on my dashboard. I use it while delivering mail. I use it up to 5 shifts without plug in charging. I usually plug it in to charge on my day off, then it's good to go for another week.

Great radio my 2nd one purchased after Hurricane Michael ravaged our hometown and our house. We evacuated to Mobile Alabama with it from Panama City Beach and would have been lost without it. Upon returning to PCB no water no electric but radio was a lifesaver for our family. That's why I bought a second one its smaller than our first one takes up less space but offers the same features as the larger one. .
