Etón VOICELINK FR1000 ECO Edition Clock Radio (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was disappointed with the AM/FM reception. The electronic tuner is not good at discriminating signals and the strong stations bleed over into adjacent frequencies. The NOAA weather bands are very clear. I did not try the voicelink communications functions. The LED light is bright and the backlit LCD display is very nice. I returned it because I just can't deal with a radio with bad reception. My Sony ICF-2010 is the gold standard for portables and now I'm still looking for a good emergency radio.

Ambient Weather WR-088 Emergency Solar Hand Crank AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio, Flashlight, Cell Phone Charger (Red) with Cables Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for an emergency radio/flashlight that would allow me to use my cell phone in case there was a prolonged power outage. This device seems to fit the bill nicely.

The only reason I didn't rate this as a 5 was that 1 of the 4 units that I bought had a defective AM radio. It would only barely receive 1 powerful local station. The radio comments below apply to the other 3 units.
The crank is easy to use and has a nice long arm on it and noticeable resistance is encountered when cranking. The charge LED lights almost immediately at low cranking speeds. The solar cell was able to charge the battery on an overcast Indiana morning. I was able to receive many AM and FM radio stations as well as the NOAA weather station in our area, with good sound quality.
The unit has a mini USB connector to accept charging of its internal battery via USB as well as the solar and hand crank inputs. Power output occurs through a full-sized standard USB jack. The supplied USB cable has a coaxial power style female connector (3.5mm O.D.). This cable mates up with one of two supplied tips to yield either a mini USB or micro USB cable. The mini USB cable can be used for charging and the micro USB is a very common cell phone power interface. The photo online doesn't accurately show the 3 cable related items I received with my radio (1 cable and 2 tips).
The 3 5mm led powered flashlight produces a pleasing white light of about 800 lux @ 1ft and 140 lux @ 2 ft, well focused into a single beam.
All-in-all the build quality of this item appears to be good. The charge handle seems secure, the case is made of a rubberize plastic (I like the feel of these plastics), the flashlight switch is a push on/push off switch under a rubber cover. The radio tuning knobs feel a little spongy and the band switch feels like the case material interferes with the sliding of the switch a bit.

Etón FR600B Solarlink Self-Powered Digital AM/FM/SW/NOAA S.A.M.E. Weather Radio with Flashlight, Siren, Solar Power and Cell Phone Charger (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like all the combination of features that it comes with.
PROS:
- good reception for all the radios: AM/FM/SW. I would want more preset memory slots.
- good customization of S.A.M.E. alerts. You can specify what emergencies to be alerted for and to what degree (watch or warning).
- solar, lights, alarm, USB connectivity are good, practical add-ons. The solar is essential.
- decent display
Now the rest:
- body is not built strong enough - needs to be much more robust given its intended use in disasters and emergencies.
- the crank WILL BREAK. It's only a matter of time - short time. Very poorly designed.
- knobs are cheap and flimsy
- No AC adaptor included! Come on.
- having water-proof like IPX-7 standard would be a good idea. This has no water resistance at all.
Making this more robust would increase the price, yes. In my opinion it is essential.
